Well, little girl, we had an appointment on Monday to review the results of our ultrasound with Donna, our midwife. And the results were less than stellar.
You are doing great, Ruth. You are developing as you should; you weigh one pound; your measurements are on target.
But I may not be doing great. Due to some concerns on the ultrasound, my pregnancy is now deemed "High Risk" and I have an appointment to see a specialist next week in Anchorage.
Right away, we put the news on our church's prayer chain and I know people are praying for you and me. Mom and Dad and other family members. Ms. Linda. Betty. KD. The Zuyus family. As I was praying about it the other day, the Lord impressed on me to pray for His name to be glorified in this. So little one, that's what I'm praying. I'm praying for healing, yes, but more than that, I'm praying that the Lord's name is lifted high in this (somewhat scary) situation. He is good all the time.
In other news, you are now 23 weeks along! You are going to double in weight in the next month as your body starts to store fat. Your daddy has heard your heartbeat through my tummy once, and starting this week, he should be able to hear you more easily! You've been moving a lot lately; Memaw got to feel the other day and Papa felt a little nudge last night.
I'm still sick from last week; Donna said it could last anywhere from 10-14 days, so I'm at about the halfway mark now. Lots of fluids for me! And last night - after putting off my craving for three days - I finally had some ice cream with peanut butter, banana, and Heath magic shell. Delicious, even with all my congestion!
More people are asking if I'm pregnant and how I'm feeling. Guess you aren't my little secret anymore!
