The Unexpected

As most everyone who reads this blog already knows, we are expecting baby #2. I am currently 12 weeks along and have been feeling alright for the first trimester - occasional nausea and tiredness, but that's to be expected. Well, this past weekend we had a "scare" and made a trip to the ER Saturday night thinking we might have miscarried the baby. During the ultrasound we saw that our baby was still alive and quite active and the heartbeat looked good. So that relieved our immediate concerns; however, I was still having issues on Sunday and called my doctor on Monday to schedule an appointment, hoping to learn more about what's going on. During our visit to the doctor we found out that our baby was alright and looking good (YAY!), but also that we actually had indeed miscarried...apparently we were expecting TWINS! Of course this came as a shock to us because we had no idea. The doctor informed us that the baby that miscarried was most likely only a few cells (too tiny to see) that hadn't been growing or developing; however, the sac had been growing. So in the ultrasound we could see two sacs - one on top of the other - one with a baby and one without.


Although it's sad to learn that we did miscarry, we are so thankful that we still have a baby on the way! God is good!! We look forward to meeting Baby B sometime around July 30th (yes, our due date got moved up a little).
