Singing Praises...

After a little bit of a scare earlier in the week, I am THRILLED to post that all is looking well for baby Armstrong. The heartbeat couldn't be detected by Doppler at my appointment on Monday, but was found by u/s that same day. I was at the appointment with my girls, and my heart total sank to my belly when the heartbeat wasn't detected. So many scenarios were racing through my mind. And even though it was found via u/s it still sent a bit of a panic through us wondering why it wasn't detected by Doppler. At the time, I was too nervous to even think to ask that question of why it didn't get picked up. (Proof that it is very beneficial to have another set of ears and more rational brain with you at doctor's appointments.) I was very nervous and I am about at the same point in this pregnancy as I was when we lost Baby T.R. Let's just say, anything can set me on edge. I was referred to a local Maternal-Fetal Medicine office for an ultrasound. Well, it usually takes awhile to get into specialists for u/s, but I got a call the same day and they scheduled me for today. That made me a wreck...I kept thinking that my doctor knew something and put a rush on getting me into their office. Too much of my own thinking happened that day. So I did what I always should do first. Pray. Lots of prayer. I had to totally turn it over to Him...to ease my nerves, and know that He is in constant control. My constant, non-stop praying, truly did help to keep my nerves somewhat at bay for the past three days. I kept busy with the girls, and did a couple of projects to keep me going. Today, well the nerves ranked at all time high. But, all was well, and, my hubby even felt the baby move tonight! :) Baby was extremely active during the u/s...I am blaming it on the Pepsi I had midmorning and the piece of pie I had with lunch! ;) So, all of this rambling...perhaps annoying to you, but I had to share. Had to share the good news. About 18 weeks along, and all is well. You better believe that there is still constant prayer for this little one! I have said it before, "God is SO good." He truly is. I am so undeserving, but He is so good to me...through good times and bad. So, singing praises to our God tonight. Hope you have had a wonderful day!.
P.S. If you haven't noticed, on the sidebar, I have put a current favorite song (stole the idea from several of my blogger buddies!). You can listen as you browse. I will change it up every so often, but today's song...very suiting. :)
