Well, Thursday May 20th we went in for our 18week ultrasound. It is where they thoroughly look at the baby to check their development and see if there are any problems. They also can usually tell you the sex of the baby if you chose to find out. This is actually the same time in my second pregnancy that we found out about Johnathan's condition. I am more than happy to report that this baby so far is perfectly healthy. We are continuing to believe GOD'S hand is upon this little baby and is forming HER with particular care. Yes thats right I did say her. It is a little girl. What a sweet blessing she will be.
The crazy thing is when we went in for out ultrasound the same doctor who specializes in high risk pregnancy and was one of the doctors to really determine what Johnathan had came walking into our exam room. He was very familiar with our case and really took his time looking over our sweet baby girl. It was very comforting to know that he really looked for anything and everything and still determined that she is perfectly healthy. We go back on June 21st for another ultrasound just to check on her development as a precaution. He also said that in 25 years he has never seen something appear if its hasn't developed already so he knew how to put our minds at ease. Plus I never mind getting to see my baby girl.
God is so good. After what feels like forever I am getting the opportunity to see what pregnancy is like when there are no complications and it is such a blessing I will never take it for granted but I am very much enjoying it. I am getting to worry about the little things this time around like what color to paint her room. How to decorate it and what will she look like. This is definitely a new experience for me. I know that I appreciate it so much more just because of everything we went through. And don't get me wrong I remember and cherish everything about being pregnant with Johnathan good and bad. After all I carried him longer than I had him in my arms so that time is very precious to me. But being able to experience a new pregnancy in a totally new way gives me a special new bond to this baby and that is important too. I love all of my babies and am so excited to meet this little girl. A little less than five months to go. By the way her name will be Emma Magdelena Swain. All family names which is very important to us we love tradition.
