13 weeks!!

I'm thrilled to announce that we have made it to 3 months! I say thrilled because I've had some vaginal bleeding going on. That, along with back pain, made me believe there was a possible miscarriage going on. This was the third time for it but it looks like we are out of the woods; for good; God willing! Sorry I didn't post what I still want to post about. I've literally been taking it easy.

I still have morning sickness. I read somewhere that at 3 months it would go away. Did they mean 3 months exactly or give or take 3 months? Just kidding! I was hoping for 3 months exactly. Honestly though I'll take the constantly feeling of wanting to vomit VS. the feeling of maybe losing your baby.

For those who knew, thank you so much for all the prayers. You have no idea what it's meant to me and my family. It's a frighting thought but through support and mostly prayers fear does not have to overcome us. Besides as I've said before whatever happens, it's by God's will and not mine.

My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary this weekend. Recently we went to a marriage seminar which really has helped us/me quite a bit. I hope to be at a conference at least once a year. I can NOT wait till the next one.

Dad's birthday is this weekend. My dad will have been deceased for 10 years. Time has gone but it doesn't mean I don't miss him or wish that at times he could be here with us. Recently I've though of him alot. I've even talked about him in Sunday school. Boy, I miss my daddy.

For some reason I seem to ramble when I should be concentrating on what I'd like to write. Maybe it's because this medication makes me sleepy... I'm wondering if that's a side affect. I sure am feeling drowsy. I came on with so much to say and now I'm drawing sheep (in my mind) as I type.

The Ultrasound

This should have been written days back but the flu (I think) took me out all week.
Yes on top of morning sickness my body throws out a virus.

Okay so here we go. Cheesecake never tasted so YUMMY!! Unless of course a friend of mine makes the best cheesecake ever! The downside BLT's don't settle well. That along with the watermelon I ate came up and said hello. Pretty colors but rather not see that again. Trust me!

I had an appointment with my Dr. Tuesday. Our baby is a whopping 12 centimeters! The little guy even waved at his daddy. Looking at the ultrasound for the first time kind of confirms that this is really real. Brings tears to your eyes knowing that you have been blessed with such a wonderful gift from the Lord. Although I've been pregnant 3 other times I can't help but to get the same feeling I did the first time around. Our little orange was moving and tossing and turning. Lisa (one of the nurses) tried to get pictures for us but the printer wasn't working.

I came that morning telling Cici that the baby was saying hi. Her little eyes lit up. She rushed to get her shoes on so she can say hi too. I let her know that next time she'll be able to go. As of now we have her excited about the baby; hopefully she's just as excited when the baby comes home in 6 months.

If I'm rambling I'm sorry. I'm still not up to par. I miss being at church. There is something I plan to share with my readers. I just want to inform you in advance it's going to be very descriptive and geared towards teens. I have felt it in my heart to share for a couple of months but have had this fear of doing so. I have prayed hard about it. Readers discretion will be advised. I'm hoping to get to it tonight or tomorrow. Again I apologize for the rambles.
