7W5D Sweet Baby Update

First of all, I can not believe our blog about our announcment has received over THREE HUNDRED views! Never could have imagined that! So since people still visit and keep up with us, I will update on sweet baby.

Today I am 7 wks 5 days, yesterday we had our very important follow up after our progesterone level was low and we found out about the subchorionic hematoma.

Travis started his clinical on Monday, so I am first of all VERY thankful he was able to come to the Ultrasound appointment still.

We have been praying non-stop for our sweet baby, we say outloud prayers before bed everynight and we say our own throughout the day. Not to mention, this sweet baby is getting prayers from so many loving family & friends!

None the less, the nerves were definitely there yesterday morning as we went in for the ultrasound. Travis (lucky duck!) saw the heartbeat first AGAIN ( he did that the other day too!) And his reaction was priceless. The joy, the happiness...it melted my heart. His first words were, "it's beating faster too!!" And that it was!!

179HR for sweet baby! And it has doubled in size in a week! Granted we've both had extensive anatomy and physiology classes, it's still so amazing how a baby develops inside mommy!

The Dr. said the Hematoma is "resolving" but wanted me to take it easy for another week. No work, nothing too strenuous, but I don't have to stay in bed 24/7. Still continuing the shots and I'm sure we'll re-check my levels at my follow up next week!

So please continue to pray for sweet baby & our little family...while things are looking better, we still have to keep our faith, hope and prayers up!

On another note, I am excited that I am going to get into some scrapbooking today and tomorrow. AND I've been cleaning out my drawers/dressers and Trav did a little too, and we got my parents motiviated...so I am selling some stuff on the local classifieds! AND I'm proud to say, I made $25 on 3 pair of American Eagle jeans that honestly, I wouldn't wear again ever!

AND Travis has a new "hobby" of making this neat crosses...
 
This particular one is 20"x11" (large) and is black wire with blue ice marbles, and it sells for $25. He also makes some medium sized ones (not sure on measurements as we've sold out currently and he's not here for me to ask) but they look the same just smaller and those sell for $15. We can get just about any color marbles desired, and if anyone is interested in purchasing this particular cross or want one custom made please email me at:
 
It's just a pass time for him, he's very crafty and artistic and loves to work on something, ANYTHING outside. Since I haven't been working for almost 2 weeks, it definitely helps to have a hobby that's profitable :)
 
 
 
Thanks to EVERYONE for the continued prayers and thoughts, and check back frequently for updates :)
Tara
