The Bumps in Life

I thought I'd give all who read an update on what's going on. We're 25 weeks pregnant right now and some things have come up. We've had a few ultrasounds because the baby has been in a position where they couldn't see much. So I went to the pros with fancy ultrasound equipment and they found some problems. Small ones but a bunch of them. A brain measurement is too big, fluid around the heart, baby is too small and cysts and something was up with the hands. I forget what the docters thought it was but IF the baby has what they think it may be, it's fatal for the baby.

So now I have a possible MRI to look at the babies brain, a Fetal Echo, to look at the heart and today I went through the amniocentesis. Which was nothing compared to how scary some make it out to be. The risks are so minor and if Heavenly Father is going to take this baby, He's going to take it. He know's the big plan and I'm grateful for that. He know's best. We are hoping and praying that little ADELINE SARAH is safe and healthy and this is all nothing. I'm thankful that we decided to do the tests and will know and prepare for a healthy or sick baby that will only live a few hours. No matter what this will be a special experience and make us better people.

So now we wait for results and pray that she is fine. John and I and the girls love her already, we hope things work out and she will get to come home with us. His will will be done. Thanks for all your prayers. Stay tuned.
