Confusion Yesterday and so glad today is today!!! Roast Recipe!!!

Hi there!!

Might I start this off by saying I started this blog to vent.. And If you know me I needed an outlet last year to do such a thing.... Blogging is a great way to update our friends and family out of state Of what going on but it is also a great coping mechanism and way to vent as well.. And trust me the last few days I am just having to remain in HIM our Lord and Savior cause I am in a confusion state which we know where that comes from...

THE PIT OF HELL.. SATAN IS A LIAR AND HE HAS AND IS DEFEATED.... iT SEEMS LIKE WHEN yOU KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS HIS HAND IN SOMETHING THE ENEMY USES ANYBODY OR ANYTHING TO BRING DISCOURAGEMENT.. AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE GET CONFUSED IT IS EASY TO SWELL IN THAT CONFUSION INSTERAD OF LEANING ON THE ONE WHO IS REALLY IN CONTROL..

ON TO OUR UPDATE.....

YESTERDAY WE METWITH MY OB.. IF YALL HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING US OR TALKING WITH US YOU KNOW THE SURGERIES AND hsg'S WE HAVE HAD TO GET TO THE POINT OF HAVING A HEALTHY PREGNANCY AND HOW WE WERE TOLD NOT EVEN TWO MONTHS AGO THAT THIS IS A RISKY ISSUE CAUSE THE DR.'S HAS NEVER SEEN AS SITUATION LIKE MINE MEANNING MY ANATOMOY IS NOT ANYTHING THEY HAVE SEEN BEFORE AND THIS IS COMING FROM 3 DIFFERENTS DR.S OFFICE AND SPECIALIST...
Okay I just realized I was still in caps my bad.. but really that shows our or my frustrations all together.
we saw our Dr. Moss my Ob/gyn since I was preggers with Samuel... She is great and is known as one of the best In Murfreesboro area... and she is great.. I am no longer on the suppositories cause they were causing me an allergic reaction and NO MORE BATHS FOR ME... due to my cervix still being open..

Get this thought.. As I have explain before i have two cervixs... 1 to the left and 1 to the right... in my previous HSG tests and surgeries my right side goes no where and my left goes to my one uterus which had a septum that has took two surgeries to break down.. Well... In my ultrasound report that Dr. Moss read it out loud and said it word for word and this is where the confusion comes in... The Gestational sac is located in patients right uterus and right cervix is closed... my mouth drop open and I said but Dr. moss that is not what we have been told in the pass.. she checked me.. and said your Right Cervix is closed but your left is still dialated a bit... I don't know yall... It is confusin.. I looked at her and the nurse that was in there with her and I said look I will Praise Jesus through all of this regardless of the outcome... And i know that He is a Miracle working God and if he has Worked a miracle with my whole set up cause if you remember My left cervix and all is where Samuel was and vaginallly delivered him.. So I don't know I am just telling you the facts I have been given.. I know if there is a miracle that has taken place I want confirmation this coming Wednesday when I go back to my high risk ob... Dr. Fortunado... My Mom canccelled her appt to be with us on Wednesday... Please pray for wisdom, and understanding for these dr.'s.. I don't want the enemy to get a foot hold.. He doesnot and will not be apart of this pregnancy.. We also found out they are going to lean towrds the transabdominal cerclage when I am 10 to 12 weeks along which I am pushin 7 weeks now and so we need complete understanding...
I am praying for them when I become confused or worried cause I know that God has his hand in this... What does Proverbs say and all thru out the bible that God knew us before we were knitted in our moms womb.. He knows our thoughts and our desires... and I know that God is in control of this whole thing and our lives.. It is a daily choice to let him lead it..

anyways.. I love you all and thank you for continuing to follow us and pray for us.. i pray for alot of you often... You kknow I feel when I think about someone I just say Lord, Whereever that person is you know that they need and I pray that they are willing to reciceve it...

Dr. Appt. 5/5/09 and another recipe...






Okay.. So We went to the High risk Dr.. On the 5th... We are approximately 5 to 6 weeks along.. Above are pictures of our ultrasound. They are so sweet at Maternal Fetal group.. It is unreal how sweet they can be... I feel they are sweeter in the Boro than Nashville but we will see as this journey progresses.. the above black dot is what is called the gestational sac to me it looks like some took black paint and dipped a pencil eraser into it and put a black blob on the screen... And we will be returning this coming Wednesday to see about the Heart.. The lil babys heart is forming this week... it is so exciting.. I can not wait till Wednesday... Tomorrow I have an appt with my regular ob Dr Moss... you kno wthis ast Tuesday I was thinking I was meeting wtih Dr. Fortunado but I was booked in as a new patient and was with there Genetic Specialist Dr.Lenzi.. SHe was real sweet and had alot of input.. According to Dr.'s notes they are leaning towards the Transabdominal Cerclage and Progestorone Shots at 16 weeks which I talked with my nurse today and she said that we maybe starting those earlier.. We will find out more about all this between tomorrows appt and next Wednesday's appt.. There is so much that I feel that I need to finish around here and don't know where to start.. I hope that I keep yall posted as best as possible as this whole road we are on was so unexpected...I am really already blowing up and I don't think I am showing it is just hormones making my tummy blow up... I figured since in my last pregnancy I never took tummy pictures I will start at 2 months along and I am so grateful to already have an ultrasound picture... I just ask that yall pray for us as this transition is hard and we are scared but also trying to get excited but have to stay balanced as we have experienced the odds of pregnancy before... Please pray for my Dr.'s that will be helping us thru this rocess as they have dealt with similar situations as mine but not totally.. So pray for wisdom and knowledge to come forth in this whole process... Thank you all for supporting us and encouraging us already on this unexpected journey..

Jesus does tell us that he can do more than we ask for or imagine.. So I believe he is doing just that..

OKAY PRAYERS NEEDED AND A HIGHLY REQUESTED RECIPE...

Okay you see how we went to the dr. on the last update.. well..... I never started this past month.. SO the dr. thought it was possibly stress of April being a one year anniversary since everything happened with samuel... Well they called me in a hormone too try and get me to start.. I was on it for 3 days and it was like my body was rejecting and I was cming down with what I thought was the Flu.. So no this past weekend but the Weekend b4 I finally gave up on Saturday and told Brad to get me somewhere the HOSPITAL.. ASAP... My Left Side was killing me and I could keep nothing dwn.. Come to find out I first found out I was preggers and I freaked out.. Next they called my dr's on call dr and she came down along with a whole entourage of my family and they admitted me for one night to keep me monitored... Needless to say they cut alot of meds out of my daily routine for the babies sake and they were determined to get me well.. Well i was still panicy... MY Ob on call dr and my family physician which is a family friend they partenered up and I am on minimal medicine and feeling lots better.. My preggers hormone on the Saturday was 66 and on monday when we went to visit my dr. it had almost tripled to 191.. Which was great.. I am having to take a supplement for my progesterone cause it is below normal.. and it aint in no pill form... In has to stay in the fridge and I have to do it 2x a day...LOL.. I have to lay down for like an hour after I do it cause otherwise I will have a mess on my hands not literally but I am sure you get the picture..

So I ask that you pray for us as we are all in shock cause it is almost to the day that Brad and I got pregnant with this one on Samuel's first birthday... Well we are basing that off of my hormones.. We should know more tomorrow as I see our High Risk Dr.. Dr Fortunado... Please pray cause everyone just is in shock and about wants to beat us when they find out... So we are nervous about tomorrow and anxious to see what he has to say about it all.. We also have our first ultrasound with him.. Last Saturday it was just too early for them to see anything at the er.. ANd with pregnancies we all know that 1 week or 1 day makes a HUGE difference..

We are praying for a healthy pregnancy and for a healthy baby that we can bring home this time and love on and raise up in the way of the Lord would have us to do so..
I will post pictures and updates as we hoe you join us in this journey of faith..

Thank you all for your support..
