What A Week

This is turning out to be such an emotion filled week. Yesterday was a sad day, my Grandmother (my dad's mother) passed away following many years of illness. She is in a much better place and we are all so grateful for that. Her service will be on Friday and I will be off work Thursday and Friday to help prepare for that. I am going over to my parents in a few minutes to help select some pictures for the slide show video. I LOVE looking at old pics and I can't wait to look at basically every year since my parents married in 1974! Please pray for my family this week. It will be a long, difficult week.

Today brought the best news since I heard Baby's heartbeat for the first time, my quad screen came back completely NORMAL! WOOHOO! Of course, we would have been ok either way, but I was nervous about a risk of spina bifida. What a HUGE answer to prayer!!!! My OB told me to just sit back and enjoy tomorrow...our BIG ULTRASOUND!!!!!

Tomorrow will be a HUGE day for us. I cannot believe after two years of IF, two miscarriages, and lots of tears and prayers, tomorrow is the day we find out if we will have a son or a daughter. It makes me cry just typing that out!!!! I CANNOT believe the day is here. I can honestly tell you I don't know how many days I cried thinking about the possibility it may never come. Well, here it is!

Not only do we have the wonderful news of a normal quad screen, but we will get to see the baby in 3D/4D and have a VERY detailed US at the high risk doctor. That was because of the high risk for spina bifida, but my OB told me he feels confident that all will be normal and that I just need to have fun! I doubt I sleep much tonight. Everyone keeps asking me if I think it will be a boy or a girl and I can honestly tell you, not only do I absolutely not care, I have NO idea! I'm always wrong, so I wouldn't want to guess, even if I had a feeling! Ha! Don't forget to vote at the top of the page on our poll. It closes at midnight. Come back tomorrow night (it might be late, we are going out to celebrate my Dad's birthday!) to see if we have...

a sweet, girly girl...

or

a fun, busy little boy?????
