What else?

Today during our 24 week ultrasound we got some more news that threw us off. Asher still has the EIF on his heart. It is very visible on the ultrasound pictures. I had them take a picture of it for Chris so that he would be able to see what I was talking about.

The ultrasound tech told us that most of the time, even if there was something bad going on, that the EIF will disappear before birth and that it does not effect the function of the heart. My doctor reassured me that it wasn't a problem and that Asher was doing really well.

He is now measuring right on schedule again. Everything measuring right for his age. That is good as well! What is concerning now is that the placenta is only 1 centimeter from my cervical Os... the whole where the baby will come out.

I would have asked my doctor more about it had she not been on call today. She got paged for an emergency right at the beginning of the appointment so not many questions were asked today. She did tell me though that baby Asher was at the viable stage now. What that means is if for some reason he had to be born right away he has a very good likelihood of survival now.

We did get some better profile pictures this time and Asher is now head down which is good too. He followed his mommies directions and turned over. Good job Asher! You are a smart little one! :)

So tonight I emailed some questions to my doctor. I had done some reading about the placenta being close to the cervix and it can cause some pretty major complications. Bleeding and survival issues for the baby as well as the mom. I hope that she will have time to answer my questions some time before my next appointment which isn't until the end of September.

One thing that it said on the internet was that if the placenta is too close and comes out before the baby then the baby will not make it. I hate thinking about that. I don't want to loss another little boy. I don't think I could handle that. I know God is ultimately in control but I keep getting more and more news that is scary.

Please God help my placenta move up quickly so that Asher won't be in danger! Fill me with your peace that passes understanding and help me to focus on what you want me to be doing right now in your service. In Jesus name Amen!

Online Pregnancy Quizes

Today just for fun I took a online pregnancy quiz to see if I would have a girl.  It was just for fun... and is made out of all these old wives tales.  I know that it is not scientific and that it doesn't prove anything and at this point only God knows if it is a girl.  It was fun though and gave me the answer that I am expecting a girl.

:) We have been thinking pink because we have had our little  boy and he had PUV.  We know that Girls can not have PUV.  This is one of our reasons we are thinking pink.  There are a couple others.  We also were prophesied over 10 years ago by several people that we would have a little girl who would dance for Jesus.  That is our greatest desire right now that our little miracle would worship the Lord.

Though it is fun to take these quiz's it is nice knowing that in a few weeks we should know the gender of our precious little miracle for sure!  I personally can't wait to find out!  I know that God has the best plans for this precious little one!

Dear Lord, I thank you for the fun I had with this quiz.  Lord I know better then to trust a quiz.  I know that you are forming our precious little miracle in the way that you wanted it formed.  Lord I trust you that you are building each part of this precious miracle happy and healthy.  In you alone Lord will I put my trust.  Not in test or measure... but in the wonder and grace of your mercy and love.  I Jesus name, amen!
