Baby Leffew #3

We are thrilled that God has blessed us yet again.  I will be 10 weeks pregnant in 3 days!  We were shocked at this, as we were not trying to conceive after having 2 miscarriages this year.  Plus, I had a d&c on May 10 and my body was not back to normal after a long month in June, which I will not give out details.  I had no idea I was even ovualting and really didn't think I was.  I honestly thought my body was just trying to get back to normal cycles.  My period never came in July, so on July 28th, I decided to rule out pregnancy and took a test and to my surprise it was positive.  I was in shock!  I called Brandon crying and in a panic, thinking this cannot be, I just had a d&c and my body (and emotions)are not ready for this.  I called the dr and went for blood the next morning. 
Again in my life, which one would think I would get this by now - I am not in control and my plans are not God's plans.  His plan is perfect!!!!!   Needless to say I was a nervous wreck , any little thing, I thought I might be miscarrying.  My first bloodwork came back and my progesterone levels were low so I thought I would miscarry.  I began taking medicine and went back for more blood work.  They couldn't even tell me how far along I was, just that I was very early!  Well, thank the Lord I took the test that day and called my dr and started the meds.  My second test showed me levels had risen and things looked good.  I still was nervous.  I was feeling sick and that is always a good thing in pregnancy.  I was more than happy to be feeling yucky!!!   After a few weeks, I got a peace about this pregnancy, not one way or the other, just a calmness, just peace - knowing that whatever happens, the Lord is in control and this is His plan for our family.  Praise Him!!    Finally, the day came to go do an ultrasound.  I admit, I was nervous the morning, being the last time I saw my baby on ultrasound, we saw no heartbeat.  A part of me didn't want to look at the screen, and I felt like my heart stopped until the tech said, "I see a hearbeat."   A strong heartbeat of 170.  I almost cried tears of joy.  I could breathe.............  The baby is developing and we could see arms and legs forming and the brain begining to develop,  Baby measured that morning at 7 weeks 5 days.  I was thrilled!!   Brock was with Papaw and Mamaw outside and we got to show him the pictures.  He replied that the baby looked "like a caterpillar, an angry caterpillar"   Love his heart!   The kids are excited and of course, Keira wants a girl and Brock wants a boy.  We go back in a couple weeks and hopefully, they will do another ultrasound.  I will be a little over 12weeks then and can't wait to see my baby again.  I am just so thrilled that God has blessed us 5 times with our precious babies, even though 2 are in heaven, I will never forget those 2 that I will get to meet one day.  I like to think we have a boy and a girl in heaven, maybe not, but I like to think so.  God is good all the time and I am blessed beyond measure.
