On September 26, 2014, my husband and I got news that changed our lives forever. We had 2 pink lines on a very important test. In February 2014 we decided to start trying to expand our family, and after what felt like forever, God granted our prayers and blessed us! Living over 3,500 miles away from family during my pregnancy has been very difficult, with Jonathan at work during the day, and sometimes spending nights and weeks away from home, I have been trying very hard to keep up with our house work, as well as dealing with severe morning sickness that sadly at 35 weeks 5 days pregnant, it still decides to come and go. But, our little girl will be so worth it all, she truly is the answer to our long prayers, AnaLynn Marie is due to arrive June 4th, 2015!
Hearing her heartbeat for the first time, as well as seeing her on the ultrasound screen was breath-taking, I cried tears of joy, and was so thankful to the Lord for giving us this precious gift! And, the first time Jonathan got to see her on the ultrasound, we found out we were expecting a girl! So amazing! The entire pregnancy I was convinced we would be having a boy, however, Jonathan said girl, from the second we found out. It was definitely an amazing experience and I am so happy we were able to findout the gender together.
Around 21/22 weeks, I had a dating ultrasound, and they checked to make sure our little girl was growing according to planned, and was still a girl ;) About 20 minutes into the ultrasound, the technician noted she was having a hard time seeing my left ovary, and the cervix, so she had everybody leave the room while she did an internal ultrasound, during which, she told me my placenta was growing over my cervix, and putting a lot of pressure on my left ovary and if it didn't grow up as my uterus grew, it could cause many problems including c-section, hemorrhaging, and put both my life, and our babies life at risk, I was so scared. Unfortunately, at this time, I was home visiting family while Jonathan was at a long training in another state, but having my mother, grandmother, as well as Jonathan's mother and 2 of his brothers there helped me get through this time. Thankfully, I just trusted God and kept praying it would grow away from my cervix. At 28 weeks, I was back home and so was Jonathan, we had another ultrasound just to check how it was so we knew if we would have to start planning for the worst, we found out the problem indeed fixed itself! We were so happy! Our sweet girl is planned to arrive in just 4 short weeks healthy, and we couldn't be more happy.
