Baby J Update

Good afternoon, friends! Thank you for your sweet messages, e-mails, and texts regarding our dear little one. I don't know if I have ever been so worried over something before in my life.  The thought of something being wrong with our baby was disheartening and made me throw up several times. Thankfully, I only had to wait 48 hours until I saw the MFM doctor, because honestly, there is no way I could have waited until January when he was visiting next.


Anyway, as far as we know, everything is fine with Baby J! At the appointment yesterday, the doctor had limited views of the heart because the baby wouldn't cooperate, which doesn't surprise me because I am quite stubborn, so why wouldn't our baby be stubborn?  She did see the outflow tracts and has no concerns about those, or my fluid levels, at this time!  She isn't sure why the other doctor said my fluid levels were high on Monday, because they were completely normal, so I had all of that worrying for nothing.  I meet with this specialist again in 6 weeks and hopefully things continue to go well! Thank you so much for your continued prayers for our baby!

I can't thank God enough for performing miracles and for our dear friends and family who never stopped praying or thinking positive thoughts. I will say that I had a hard time staying positive, but this only further proved why I need to keep praying and staying positive. One thing this scare taught me is that nothing is ever given to us and we need to keep praying for what we want. Sometimes, I think I get too comfortable with how things are going and I forget to thank God for what we have and for what we want. Although I feel awful saying that, it is the truth, but it is something I am going to consciously work for. 

 Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God bless all of you!
