Baby Update...14 wks!

I know I haven't posted in FOREVER...but I do have good reason. I will continue to post on the blog with baby updates, but I am also now a Facebook addict...so most pictures will be posted there since it is a little more private.

Today I had a regular doctor visit with Dr. Benton in Hattiesburg. Things went well and we heard the heartbeat with the Doppler. The heartbeat stayed in the upper 140s and 150s. When I was leaving Krystal asked if I wanted to be scanned...what kind of question is that????!!!! I asked Shea if that was good with him and he said he was fine with it...so we got to see Baby Mc today. Things looked good. Krystal said that everything she looks for at this stage in a pregnancy looked good. PRAISE GOD!!!! We will go back to Dr. Benton in four weeks and then to Jackson sometime in September...around the 20/22 week mark. Most times you will go to Jackson around 17 or 18 weeks but I learned today that is only because if there is a problem with the baby there is still time to abort your pregnancy. With Shea and I abortion is not an option so Dr. Benton felt like I should wait til 20 weeks or so and get a better picture of things.

Shea and I are so grateful to our Lord and Savior and praise Him endlessly for our good report today. Thanks for all the prayers and keep them coming...we got 26 more weeks to go!

Love,
Bethany

Again, congratulations, Bethany and Shea! I know the anxiety you must have felt early on, but I know that the Peace of the Lord walks with you every day - and knowing that no matter what happens, God will never let you go is SO very assuring!
I've had many fears this go-round, and haven't felt my best... but I know without a shadow of a doubt that all things are in the Lord's hands... when I remind myself of that, my nerves kinda calm down a bit. I'm sure my doc didnt know what to think when I broke down crying in his office at 12 weeks... I was so scared, but the Lord brings peace to those who seek Him.
Much love and prayers!
Pam
P.S. Imma hunt you up on FB!
