The new addition to our family! We are four months along and excited as ever :) We again are being blessed with another gift from God! We feel a lot of peace about this pregnancy. I feel God has given me confirmation that it will go smoothly and so I am hanging onto that :) The midwife said yesterday that my cervical length is 5cm, which is not common with most pregnant women, normally they just have 4 cm. But He gave me and extra 1 cm to work with. Gotta Love it!
Our 3-D. I really don't love these. I had a lot of these with aliana and remember not loving the way they looked. The baby just doesn't look right. I don't know?
Right now my placenta is low-lying and this could cause a problem if it should stay this way. But they really seem to think it will move. God is in control.
The kiddos are super excited to have a baby growing in my belly. Aliana says it's a girl and of course rowan says it's a boy. I wasn't going to find out, as I thought it would be fun to have a surprise. But hubs informed me that he wants to know. So we may do what our friends T and D did and have the tech write it down on paper for him to see, at the next one. Since the ultrasound rowan says he wants the baby to come out, I said "Oh no, not for another 6 long months" Ha!
The midwives are reccomending that I take progesterone shots. Honestly I have known this from the beginning but have pushed it off, And now I literally have 3 weeks to decide if I will do them, as I need to start them at the 16th week.
I had a friend over today and she share dwith me a parable, that maybe has almost convinced me that it's okay to take them.
"Ther ewas a man who drowned in the ocean. A helicopter came and the person on board said here climb on board, and he said no, my God will save me, then a boat came and a person offered to help him in and he said no, my God will save me! He died, when he got to heaven he said, God why didn't you save me? God replied, I sent you a helicopter and a boat, what do you mean?
I keep thinking that since God has given me such peace about this pregnancy and now that I know that I have 5cm, is he trying to tell me to just trust!? And not use medical intervention. Yet on the other hand, I don't want to lose a baby to preterm labor and my own selfish wants and desires, because I chose not to take the medicine.
Yeah I know, I am thinking way to deep into this!
So yep, it's been a while. I am really hoping to not let it go this long again :)
