A little scare, but all is well

I have been having moderate cramping and some contractions off and on for a week now. I was really anxious about it even though I knew it was probably no big deal. Luckily, I have a doctor and nurse who humor my anxiety and had me come in for everyone's peace of mind. So before going to Kevin's family reunion I made a quick trip into the doctor. Peanut was moving all over and made it difficult to get a heart rate, but it was there at 150 bpm after being patient. The doctor came in and examined me. Praise be to God...I was not dilated at all. We talked about how my uterus is growing a lot right now and how it is probably irritable. Since I am not dilated we are going to try some medicine as needed for the cramping/contractions and see how it all goes.

Tomorrow is another reminder of the baby we lost last fall as my due date was June 26th. I know all things happen for a reason and that God has a bigger plan for my life. I am very thankful and grateful to Him for this new life I am growing inside of me and taking care of. I pray my pregnancy goes smoothly and come November/December we will meet this new little healthy baby!! I felt the baby move last night! I am so selfish and want to feel movement all of the time, but understand that at this early time I will only feel it here and there. I will choose to be grateful for those brief moments and cherish each one til the next movement is felt!! I am amazed at how I can love someone I have never met face-to-face. It's a bond and feeling that only an expecting mother can feel!! I am soooooo incredibly blessed. Thanks be to God!!
