Praising God!

Everything went well at the Dr. today! The ultrasound was great! Both babies heartbeats were very strong. Baby A was 177 and baby B was 181. The tear looked much better and the dr. said it was nothing to be concerned about and that it was repairing itself. She said come back next week and we'd do another ultrasound. Both babies were moving around so much! They were wiggling and moving their legs and arms. She said take it easy, no pushing, pulling or too much activity. I can do that!

Please Pray!

Well, I had a little visit to the ER this weekend. Early Sunday morning about 1:30 am I woke up bleeding and clotting. Of course it scared me to death. I called the dr. on call and I really didn't like what he said. He told me that as long as I wasn't cramping that i just needed to stay off my feet and could call my dr. on tuesday (because of the holiday) He said "i'll be honest with you, you can go up to the ER and spend 4 hours but it's not really going to change anything. Unless you just worry about it so much you can't sleep I suggest you just wait until tuesday." Well, of course i'm going to worry! I understand that spotting is sometimes normal but in my mind clotting is not! I waited as long as i could and it wasn't getting any better so Terry took me to the ER about 2:30 that afternoon. To make a long story short, the babies are fine and their hearts are beating strong. What I have is a tear in my placenta called a Subchorionic Hemorrhage. Basically it's a tear where the placenta attaches to the uterus. The ER doc said it usually resolves itself but sometimes causes problems. All that can be done right now is bedrest. I'll be calling Dr. Thompson this morning to see if I can get in today or tomorrow. Please just pray that my placenta will heal and my babies will be safe!

We're having TWINS!!!

Well, I had my 1st dr. appointment yesterday and was just so excited to get our first ultrasound. When the ultrasound technician began the ultrasound my excitement turned to SHOCK when she very quickly said there were two babies! Most of yesterday was spent talking on the phone to family and friends and spreading the news. I will need to be in your prayers because this will be a high risk pregnancy. Dr. Thompson is sending me to a specialist in shreveport for monitoring because I will be 35 when I deliver and I had Toxemia with my last pregnancy and she really wants to keep that in check. So I guess we're in for the ride of our life! I'm definately nervous and scared but so excited and blessed beyond measure. I've prayed for a baby for about 5 years now and God has granted me my request above and beyond! Praise God from whom ALL blessing flow!
