About Me
- Maria
- God has blessed me tremendously with an amazing husband, Doug, and two gorgeous little boys, Gavin and Joey. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family but God may have other plans. I had a series of 6 consecutive early miscarriages when trying for baby #2. We are currently trying for baby #3 after our 7th miscarriage. I am faithful that God's plan is perfect, even when I am not happy about it. I love comments and meeting new followers so please don't be shy!

6 Weeks
Actually I am 6 weeks and 4 days but who is counting? Oh yeah. I am. Every day that I am pregnant is a blessing and one that I thank God for.
I'll just cut to the chase. I got to hear a heartbeat! One healthy little baby measuring just as it should had a heart beating away! Just as the doctor showed me the baby she asked me if I had had any spotting or bleeding. I told her no and she showed me a spot on the screen that indicated that there is some sort of bleeding happening in my uterus. She went back to how great that there is a heartbeat and how my risk of miscarriage drops down to only 10%. While that is good, I much prefer to say that my chance of having a successful pregnancy is now 90%.
She isn't too concerned about the bleeding and explained that it could simply be implantation. She also felt as if we had used a different ultrasound machine, we likely wouldn't have even noticed it. As a precautionary measure I am not allowed to have sex, lift anything over 15 pounds (Sorry Joey. Looks like you have to climb into your own car seat now!), or exercise.
So far so good. I kinda wish we would have been on a different ultrasound machine because not knowing about that little bleed happening in there would be kind of nice. Baby had a heart rate of 119 beats per minute.
And now in his/her film debut I present to you The Baby...
Please keep those prayers coming!

I love comments but if you are seeing this, I'm afraid that no one will see your comment. On the blog, I use Disqus commenting and it sometimes takes longer to load. Also, if you ask me a specific question, I am able to respond to those using Disqus. If you ask here, I am unable to reply. But, again, I love to hear from readers so however you comment, I thank you!!
