We had our first OB appt with Dr. Becker in Wellsboro today! I was so nervous – of course I threw up this morning – but I’ve been throwing up every morning. I didn’t want to go – I just wanted to cancel and pretend that everything would just be fine. Out appt was at 7.45 am so I picked up J from work and we made it right on time. We went through the medial history of both of us and then came the real stuff!<\/p>\n
Dr. Becker came in and asked some more questions. I wanted 3 things from today’s appointment – have been praying for 3 things.<\/p>\n
1. I cut down my medication to 10 mg a night. I tried to go off it completely and literally could not function. I did the research – prayed about it – and researched some more. I feel confident that being on such a low dosage will be safe and fine. Dr. Becker agreed – thank you Jesus!<\/p>\n
2. I needed to hear a heartbeat. Even if it was just a few seconds – I needed to hear it! Because we are so early – it was tough to get – we could hear mine and only mine. Then – really quick – but so fast and clear – we could hear the woosh woosh woosh woosh of OUR BABY! We only found it twice – but it was there and strong! Jared and I both cried – couldn’t even look at each other without crying!<\/p>\n
3. I really wanted to see our baby – that memory of a blank screen is so vivid in my memory – I needed to be able to open my eyes and see our baby! To get a firm due date – Dr. Becker scheduled an US for Monday at 1.30!<\/p>\n
I prayed for 3 things and each of those prayers were answered! Praise Jesus!<\/p>\n
Everything looks good so far – they took 8 vials of blood – EIGHT! I got a flu shot and our next appt is November 19th at 4 pm!<\/p>\n
20 weeks will be DECEMBER 25th – WHAT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT – we will find out if we are having a Fitzgerald Douglas or an Isa Samantha!<\/p>\n
I feel so much better – like I can breathe and really be excited – and go buy some new clothes – cus my jeans aren’t cutting it anymore!<\/p>\n
Thank you so much everyone – for your prayers – your thoughts – your tears – your excitement – EVERYTHING! I love all of you more than you know!<\/p>\n
I cannot wait to have a baby shower and invite every single one of you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
