I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th. Phil and I enjoyed it with family and friends! 

10 weeks and Counting

Phil and went to the doctor today for my first official prenatal appointment. Everything went fine but the doctor still does not want to get us excited just yet. We did hear the heartbeat and the heart is beating just like it is supposed to beat. In fact I think the doctor's face had a bigger smile than my face. We still have 2 weeks to go until the 2nd trimester.

7 weeks

I went for another ultrasound and we still have a strong baby with a strong heartbeat. We actually heard the heartbeat loud and clear today. We are getting more and more optimistic everyday. We have 5 more weeks to go until the first trimester is over. Prayers have helped us through and we still need them.

If you look closely you can see the placenta attached to the baby. It is the bottom circle. You can see it better when you enlarge the picure by clicking on it.

A Little Scare

This morning I woke up to a little scare with some spotting. I went in for another ultrasound but everything looks normal and we saw a heartbeat and faintly heard the heartbeat. We are not out of the woods yet. I have another ultrasound schedules for next week. Keep praying.


6 weeks 

Here is a picture of our ultrasound. I am 5 weeks and we could see a faint heartbeat which was so cool. Everything looks good and it is just a wait and see thing. Keep praying! 

We are Pregnant!

Last Thursday Phil and I were very surprised to find out we are expecting. It is still early I am barely at 5 weeks but we are very excited. I have a higher risk at miscarriages due to a chromosome abnormality so I was a little nervous to tell people so early but I figured people couldn't pray about it unless they knew about it. So keep on praying!! My doctor, Dr. Youkilis has been keeping a close eye on my hormone level and so far so good. He is going to do an ultrasound on Friday and I will get to meet with him then.

It is still early and a lot could happen in a few weeks. I know there is still a possibility I could have a miscarriage but I still have the Gift of Hope!

Happy Easter
