A Little Scare

Tim and I had a little bit of a scare over the weekend......and, it had nothing to do with Halloween being around the corner (LOL). I started spotting (bleeding) a little bit Saturday night. It turns out that it was just a busted blood vessal around my cervix. We went to the doctor's office today, and they confirmed that everything was fine with the baby. I can go back to work tomorrow, but I'm not supposed to exercise or do anything strenuous for the next few days.

On a brighter note, it was fun getting to have another ultrasound done. Tim scanned a 3D picture and he circled the area that he thinks resembles the budding of a baby boy.....I'm not sure if that really is what he thinks it is, but it's fun to speculate. The heartbeat was in the 150's this time, which tends to represent a boy; and, the ultrasound technician also said that she thinks it's a boy based on everything she could see from the ultrasound, but she didn't want to confirm it just yet since the sexual organs are still developing in this stage. We should know for sure in another month! More importantly, everything seems healthy so far! Regardless of the gender, it's a huge blessing just to have a healthy baby right now. So far, all of the ultrasound shots have revealed a smooth, complete spine and a perfectly sized head (no swelling or lemon-shaped characteristics). These are all great signs in contrast to the spina bifida characterisitcs that existed in our last baby....PRAISE GOD!

On a funny note, one of the pics from the ultrasound showed a little hand up by the baby's face and it looks like the middle finger is pointing up.....can you believe our baby is flipping us the bird?!!! We're going to have some major manners to teach! HA, HA!

I'm thankful our little scare turned into a few laughs.....God is good!
