Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Logan's sister is hosting at her house. This year however, is the first year that we will not spend with family. Yep, Logan and I will be at home alone.
Im not too sad about it, after all, anything I can do to keep our babies safe is worth it.
Things have slowed in the pregnancy arena for us. Thank goodness. We are currently 17 weeks tomorrow! I had another appointment at Maternal Fetal Medicine this week. The ultrasound indicated that the low lying placenta that was causing my bleeding has risen. I pray that we do not see any more red until delivery day.
AND...WE OFFICALLY FOUND OUT THE SEX OF OUR BABIES!! I say officially, because two weeks ago the tech told us that she was pretty sure she knew, but would be more certain at our next appointment. We are very excited but haven't told a single soul.
Otherwise...
Days pass slowly for me. I'm sitting here wondering if these weird feelings in my belly are babies moving or just gas. It's hard to know, especially when I haven't felt it before. I do think its our sweet babies moving though. My heart is happy and probably more hopeful than its been in weeks.
On the other hand, a friend of mine received some terribly sad news on Monday. After seven years of trying to start a family, she and her husband recently underwent their final IVF round. Over months and months they raised over $12,000 dollars (by donations and fund raisers) to afford their IVF cycle. On the day of the embryo transfer they had ONE good embryo to rest their hopes and dreams on. And then, on Monday, their pregnancy blood test came back negative.
I'm not going to try and understand like I know what it's like, because I don't. Leisa on the other hand keeps faith in God. She has more faith than I do for sure.
I won't ever understand why some couples are blessed with children whenever they want, and by the easiest means, when others struggle and struggle for that same blessing and don't receive it. However, i believe in Gods plan for each of us, and that i think, is what gets me through.
