So I had another doctor appointment today to get my weight checked (don't ask!), blood pressure taken (doing good there), more blood drawn (not sure I have any left) and to try and hear the hear beat with the Doppler machine. Last time my doctor couldn't find it and she sent me for a sonogram to check how things were going. So this time I prayed that Ziggy would be a little more flexible and allow us to hear her/his heart beat. Guess what? Prayer worked! Within seconds my doctor found the heartbeat and was able to follow Ziggy while he/she moved. It was a sweet sound. So far everything sounds great and Ziggy has a strong heartbeat. Fast too. Some might say that this is an indication that Ziggy is a "she". We won't find out until late March what we are having. I guess it depends on if Ziggy is in a cooperative mood or not. I'm praying now that he/she is. I am ready to start buying stuff for a nursery!
I appreciate everyone's prayers for Ziggy so far. Please keep them up. This is an exciting time as well as a scary time. For me anyways. I know God has a wonderful plan for this child, I just wish I knew every detail like God does!
Later!
