Well hello there sweet thing!  I’ve never had such an in depth first trimester anatomy scan before. It was really cool seeing baby!  Can you believe they are this whole and complete at only 3 months gestation!  Every organ is at least partially formed, the sweet little eyes are hidden under eyelids, the tiny little nose is forming, as well as the mouth and even tiniest little tooth buds!!  Baby looks great! I still have a fairly significant subchorionic hematoma which is cause for concern, but my doctor is optimistic that things will go well!  Please pray that this resolves itself quickly! Taking it easy is not my strong point!  I love being active, doing things with the kids, getting outside, etc etc!  That has not consistently happened in two months at this point, and today I can feel it wearing on all of us...especially in my kiddos antsy-ness!  (I half blame the weather, typically I would just send them outside at this point!) Regardless though, it has been a bit of a blessin
Baby is growing big and strong and waving hello!! Measuring 11 weeks and 6 days and due last day of July/1st day of August. We didn’t expect to see baby today, but he/she gave us quite a scare last night. Actually it turned out to be ME causing the scare. There was/is a pocket of blood beneath baby that caused lots of bleeding and resulted in my blood pressure dropping super low & my passing out twice over the last 12 hours!  Thankfully, my church family was quick with prayers and childcare for Nick to take me to the doctor, and we are hopeful that everything will be just fine! 🙏🏻 This verse was on my mind all night and morning long: You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. ~Isaiah 26:3 **Editted to add that Caroline Creel just informed me that the baby is due on Harry Potter’s bday. 😉 🧙🏻‍♂️
