Praise the Lord I am 10 WEEKS today!!!!!
I am so very excited to be at this point. After all of the miscarriages I never thought I would be sitting here praising God for 10 weeks of pregnancy. Sean kept saying it would happen and I didnt believe him. Nor, did I believe that the Lord would grant me (us) this miracle.
So far things are going pretty good. I have some moments of spotting. But nothing has come of it. I am still on strict restrictions until I hit the 12 week mark. I think even after that there will be some restrictions, but I am fine with that as long as there is a healthy baby come May.
People keep telling Sean to take good care of me. All I can say is that he has been GREAT about everything. Sean has been doing pretty much ALL of the housework with the exception of a couple loads of laundry here and there. He is doing a large majority of the grocery shopping and the errand running. He has even made me several meals in bed, just so that I can relax and not be on my feet. I dont think there is really anything else he can do to take care of me. He should win the award for Husband of the Year! He is doing all of this in addition to his regular work. For those of you close to us, know that he has had some very long weeks and weekends here lately. If you see Sean, please give him a word of encouragement. Bless his heart there are still 30 weeks left of this pregnancy and there will probably be many, many, many more things that he will have to do for me and the house. I love Sean so much and there is no way I could do this without him!
Have a blessed week!

Our MIRACLE!!!!!!!!
If you notice the baby is holding a balloon. Proof that it is Sean's child!
Well folks, it looks like God is still a God of miracles. Sean and I are expecting a little blessing on May 20, 2009! It has been quite a journey this far.
I was a little late and decided to just wait a couple of days and see what happens. I took my first HPT on 9/8 and it was positive. At that point based on my history I told Sean give it a couple of days and it will be over. I didnt believe that the Lord would bless us with a healthy pregnancy. On Thurs 9/11 I took another HPT and it was positive, so I called my Dr and they had me come in for round of beta's pn 9/12. They called back and sure enough I was pregnant my level was 780. Now I had to endure the weekend to wait to take round 2 of beta's. I did throw Sean a surprise b-day party that Fri night. Mon morning I went back in and they called that afternoon to say that my numbers were 3060. My numbers had more than tripled and all we needed was for the numbers to have doubled. On 9/23 I had an ultrasound done and the baby was measuring 3/4 of a centimeter and 5 weeks and 6 days. I went back for my 8 week ultrasound on 10/7 (the day before my birthday) and the baby was measuring right at 8 weeks!
We are so excited to have this little blessing and very appreciative of the friends and family who have prayed for us and with us so far on this journey. We are not out of the woods just yet. Once I reach about 13 weeks, we should be good for the rest of the pregnancy. At this point I have some restrictions as far as what I can eat or drink. I am not allowed to exercise. I am hoping that once I reach the 2nd trimester that some of the restrictions will be lifted. Please pray for Sean and I as we take this journey.
As we get farther into this I will be posting more pictures and updates. Thank you for all of your prayers. We love ya'll very much and feel very blessed to have all of you as friends!
