If only I were really computer savvy we would have a picture on here of our baby. However, we need to hook up our scanner to get that going. But imagine if you will a tiny little one with arms that move and wiggle and little feet that paddle back and forth! That's what we got to see!! The heart was beating at a beautiful 158 bpm and I even saw the little one spinning around a few times. Looks like it's an active one!
Our appointment wasn't all what we had expected. The radiologist took his time looking at the screen and the movement of our child. His reaction to it all surprised us a bit, but we are hopeful that the Lord knows what He is doing. The doctor said that the baby has fluid leaking out the back of it's neck and could lead to a variety of things, one of which means absolutely nothing. That is what we are hoping for and believing. The other is a variety of birth defects or even possible miscarriage. So now we have a new thing to be in prayer about. Our next ultrasound will be in about 4-5 more weeks. At that time we'll be able to see more detail.
As we were in the doctors office talking with the radiologist I asked him what solutions there were to this type of thing. He said that it was something that couldn't be solved by medication or any sort of diet or anything they could do. I just thought that was amazing! It made me realize how true it is that God IS the one knitting this little one together in my womb. And it cannot be touched by even the smartest of doctors! How great is that! I'm looking forward to seeing our next picture of the child. And I am hoping that it will astonish the doctors!
Please be in prayer with us as we wait to find out more.
This is a familiar verse,but one that has meant a lot to me these past few days:
Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of the came to be.
