Exactly one month ago today I found out I was pregnant. I am eight weeks pregnant today! I am so excited. A lot has happened since my last entry. We had our second ultrasound on February 5th and we saw our sweet baby and HEARD HIS/HER HEARTBEAT! It was music to our ears! Praise God!!! After hearing the heartbeat we announced our news to the world, which has been a lot of fun. I am no longer trying to hide my “pootch” which I am not so sure has a whole lot to do with my lentil bean sized baby (but let’s pretend). Still no morning sickness (YAY!!!) my symptoms have included: total exhaustion, a face that looks like a pepperoni pizza (apparently my face didn’t get the memo that I was supposed to be “glowing”), and a bloated belly. I can’t wait until I am actually showing and it is obvious to the world that I am pregnant. (I’m sure it will come soon enough.)
Last Tuesday our school nurse talked to me about a child in my room who has been diagnosed with Fifth’s Disease. I was not familiar with this but apparently it is dangerous to pregnant women (especially in the first trimester) as it can cause the baby’s heart to stop. I called my doctor who had me come in for a blood test after school. She told me not to worry that chances are everything is fine but she has seen women who have miscarried because of being exposed. At a time when I can cry at a song on the radio it is hard to not allow this to consume me with “what ifs”. I know that God is in control and He already loves this child more than I ever could. She said my results would be in by Friday but after waiting by the phone all day I got a message that my results weren’t in and they would call me on Monday. My heart sank…I just want to hear those words “everything is okay”. In my heart I know it is, I trust in Him, but this is a scary time. Tomorrow is Monday so tomorrow my results should be in until then I will remember:
Isaiah 41:10So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:13For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
Proverbs 3:24 (don’t worry about this when you lie down to sleep-that’s when I worry)when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
Thank you sweet Jesus for loving and taking care of this precious child!
