SURPRISE

Well, if you can believe it we are already half way through September already! Canio and I's anniversary is one week from today. It was a year ago that Emily started having seizures. She is still seizure free! Emily is now speaking in sentences. She loves blueberries. Today she was eating some and said, Mommy... I need more. This is unreal considering she is not even 2 yet! And we can now count to 10 (nine good..10 with help). She mimicks EVERYTHING we do. She loves the computer, especially a website www.starfalls.com. Dont forget to listen to the football games at www.audiosportsonline.com!!! Ok so are you wondering what this "surprise is?" Ok scroll down.... I'm pregnant! I'm 4 months pregnant. Everything is going well. I am feeling great! I have been referred to high risk doctors for consultation just like the last time...the cool thing about that is that I get a 3D ultrasound in Nov. The baby is due the 3rd wk of March (3/22). I had an ultrasound yesterday because 5 nurses could not find a heartbeat (I am 13 wks). While they sent me home on Tuesday with assurances everything would be fine... waiting for that ultrasound was so trying. I prayed and read my scriptures...and felt peaceful that it was going to be ok. Despite a feeling I have been having that "something" just wasnt "right". Well, as you can see...the baby is FINE. It is a little mexican jumping bean! It DOES NOT set still and that is why they couldnt get the heartbeat. It took the ultrasound tech 5 minutes to catch 3 heartbeats without it moving around like a mad cow. The heart was at 153 bpm. It is face down in the picture, with its spine on top. It waved, did back flips, and patted it's tummy while I got to watch for 10 minutes. They did find that I have placenta previa. It means my placenta is partially covering the hole the baby will come out. I have been told that this will probably fix itself by 20 wks. In the meanwhile I am on some restrictions. If it doesnt fix itself it just means that I have to be careful and I will have to have a C-section...WHICH I DO NOT WANT. SO keep us in your prayers. And little Emily is excited (so far) about getting a new baby to play with!. Talk to yo uall soon!
