New update!!!

Well today was the big day. It has been a long week. At so many times I have had so much doubt. I was so scared. As I waited in the waiting room I was so nervous. My heart was pounding and my hands were sweaty. The called my name and we(dh and children) all went back. She tried to see on my belly and thought she saw a heartbeat, but said we had to do it trans vaginal. As soon as she inserted it, I saw my precious blessing. It's heart was beating 124 beats per minute. I am 6 weeks and 1 day, so my due date is July 27. This is so surreal. After, I talked to one of the midwives and my progesterone level has gone up to 21.47, Praise the lord, and my hcg is over 7700. They said "It looks to be a viable pregnancy, but you are not are out the woods yet." I do not believe that I AM GOING TO HAVE A BABY IN JULY. Thank you so much for your prayers and please continue to pray. I have to go next week for an early glucose test, I am guessing because of my weight. I go December 30 for my next OB appointment. Here is our precious little baby. (sorry for the quality.)

New pregnancy update!!!

They just called and my hcg levels are at 1345 but my progesterone levels went down to 8.2. That is quiet concerning. However I did start my progesterone supplements yesterday. They 100 mg and I have to take 2 a day. I go back in Monday for another blood retest and Tuesday for the Ultrasound. They should know by then if it is ectopic or not. I don't care what they may believe or what they are saying about my blood levels God is in control. Please pray for me, I will be glad when I know every thing is okay. By Monday my Hcg levels should be at around 10,000 and even if my progesterone just goes up a little that is a good sign. I hope everyone has a HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and I will update Tuesday.

Gatlinburg!!

A couple a weeks ago my sister came up and we went to Gatlinburg for the day. Here are just a few pictures.




I love the ones of Ethan. I was wearing him on a sling. He is so sweet. I can't believe He will be a year old in a month.

PREGNNACY UPDATE!!!!!!!

My hcg levels did double like they were supposed to. However my progesterone levels went down to 9.9 and they like it to be above 10. I am about to go right now for another set of blood work. Please pray for me. I need my levels to go up. She is putting me on a progesterone pill. I am believing that everything will be okay.

Meet my new Nephews!!!!!!!!!!

Here is Nina and Karl before her C-section.


Right after the babies were born



I am not sure who is who!! James is 5lbs 11ozs and 19 1/4 inches long. Benjamin is 6lbs 8ozs and 18 34 inches long. That is pretty big for twins considering they were 5 weeks early. It is funny Nina and my husband even though they are 4 years apart could pass for twins. These boys look more like my husband than my kids do.

"Islam is the light doll"

So I was Wal-mart looking at the toys for Christmas. I come across this "cute" little mommy doll for $19.99. I called my sister to tell her it would be a cute present for Haley. She said "no", that doll is evil. It says "Islam is the Light", I about passed out when I went and played that doll. Wal-mart refuses to take it off the shelf because the manufacture has not recalled it. What is this world coming to? If that doll would have said "Jesus is the light" the wicked world would have recalled it immediately. I encourage everyone to call the Fisher Price and demand them to recall this item or refuse to buy anything else from them. We have got to stand up for Christ. The number is 1-800-524-8697 and the doll is "Little Mommy™ Real Loving Baby™ Cuddle & Coo™ Doll" Product#: M0847. Thank you so much. Here is a video of the doll

HCG Levels, and twins on the way!!! *update*

Not me, I am not having twins that I know of. My mother-in-law called me to tell me that my sister-in-law is in the hospital having her twins. She is only 34 weeks so keep her in your prayers. The midwife called me and told me my hcg level is 31.5 which is 3-5 weeks pregnant and my progesterone level is 11.6 which she said is normal. I am starting to feel really queasy and nauseous( which is good). I go back Thursday for more blood work and my hcg level should be around 260(give or take a little). I know it will be!!!!!

***
The twins have arrived. Benjamin and James are here and healthy. One weighs almost 7 pounds and the other almost 6. They are doing well and we hope to go visit them in Mississippi this weekend.

FAITH!!!

Over the weekend I have struggled with so much doubt, about this pregnancy. I trust in the Lord but I have been through so much loss over the past 2 years, I am scared. Saturday night I was reading my bible and came across this:

22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11;22-24

With that being said, I pray and claim that everything is going to be okay and in July I am going to have a strong, healthy baby. I know I will feel better once I see that baby on the ultrasound screen or I hear his/her heartbeat for the first time. But I gave it all(doubt worry, ect.) to Jesus. I have Faith in God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Appointment!!!

Today I went to Orientation at the Birthing Center that I have chosen to use. I have always wanted to have a water birth and I finally get an opportunity, because in Georgia, where I lived there was no where to have a water birth except home. Home Births are great, but I don't think I am ready for that yet. While I was there they were able to work me in for my first appointment. Everything looks good so far. Then she scheduled me for an ultrasound. So I met my dh at Olive Garden we had lunch and went back to the center. She could not see the baby which means I am really early. I figured as much because I usually know when I am pregnant pretty early. I would say that I am 3-4 weeks and if that is the case they should be able to see the baby within another 3-4 weeks. Needless to say I am exhausted after running around all day. I was at the center 3 times. But I am enjoying every minute of it. I love being pregnant and am so thankful God has given me another chance. Monday they are supposed to call me with my hcg level and it should give an "estimate" of how far along I am. Have a blessed day!!!

I am PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those words seem so foreign but so right. This morning I took another test with my first morning urine. It was a ept digital and after the longest 3 minutes, it said pregnant. I then took the other one that was in the pack later in the day and it said pregnant as well. Then I went to the health Department and took another one and it was positive. So after 7 tests, I AM PREGNANT!!!!!! Yeah, I am so excited, there are just no words. I feel in my heart this is right. In the morning I am going to a Birthing Center for orientation, and my first appointment will be 11/25/08 unless they can get me one earlier. They will do an ultrasound to confirm that it is not ectopic, and I am believing and praying that it is not. I do not have a due date but my guess is mid July. My children are so excited. It is so funny the other day Hannah said "Mommy are we ever going to have another baby" I told her we could pray. So this is how it went. I said "Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day and the time we have together, Hannah and I agree and claim in Jesus name, that we will be blessed with a baby, if it is your will. In fact we will be happy with twins" and she said " We will take triplets", I had to control my self from laughing. But you see with all seriousness, I believe that God has given me another chance to be a mommy again. So many times when I was pregnant with the other 3 I took advantage of being pregnant and not enjoying it. I was young and naive and listened to everyone else telling me it is not normal to want a big family. But now I will not listen to anyone telling me different that what I feel in my heart is right. GOD is in control of everything in my life and I give it all to him. Thank you for letting me vent. I hope everyone has a blessed week!!!
