I had another doctors apt today. Started off pretty good, after about 10mins into the ultrasound I got sick...lightheaded, nausea, thought I was going to pass out. NOT a very good feeling when you've got "tissue" problems! BP and heart rate was good, I sat up for awhile and it passed. Assuming it happen because I was laying on my back and there was too much pressure on my Vena Cava. Thank God it passed! :) I talked with the doctor about the "episodes" I've been having...my heart feels like it's jumping out of my chest, my chest gets tight, I get nauseated blah blah blah. He told be to keep a close eye on it and to check my heart rate. We'll see.
I am 17wks 6days along and baby is measuring at 18wks 3days. From my understaning they are not going to change where I am in pregnancy and keep the January 29th due date. I meet with the doctor in Eugene on September 15th. At that time we will make a plan for delivery and Dr. Sohl in Medford wants me to get an echo at that time. He said something today I wasn't very excited about...he is thinking that Dr. Balderson in Eugene will probably suggest putting me in the hospital around 24wks instead of 28-29wks. I am okay with that for safety reasons but good golly I'll go CRAZY!!!!! :) I know it's best if that is what he wants me to. Everything else is going smooth and as planned. Still fighting nasty heartburn after I eat anything. But hey that's the least of my worries.
The house is officially for sale (by owner) and we are in deep prayer that it sells SOON! But we know that everything happens in God's time. Andrew is doing good for the most part. I think I can say he IS potty trained!!! Hooray!!!! Well okay sort of. :) He still wears a diaper at night but hates it! The other night I put him to bed in his underwear and we were changing sheets at 2am. Won't try that again for awhile.
I will post again after my apt on the 15th. Please keeps us in your prayers. We are truly blessed with all who are praying. It's amazing how when you share your need for prayer how that spreads across the nation! So again thank you VERY much for everything!!!!

Pregnancy

I am being blessed with good health at this point. Nothing new with doctor appts. I was in Eugene this last weekend and tried to get in with the doctor up there but couldn't because of their booked schedule. But that's okay no worries. I have an appt. with him on Sep. 15th.

I am definitely feeling all the perks of pregnancy. The nausea has calmed down a little bit. Lots of heart burn, cramping, muscles pulling and stretching, head aches, hungry but no matter what I eat it makes my stomach upset. Yea all the fun stuff. As of my last appt. which was last week I've gain 10lbs since day one. To me that was exciting beings gaining weight hasn't always been easy for me :) My doctors don't have any worries concerning my head aches but we'll definitely keep a close eye on them.

God is good and is showing through everyday. I got the pleasure of attending the Beth Moore telecast last weekend. It was GREAT! She had a LOT of good things to say, but something that really stuck out... she said that "we need to be warriors and not worriers" I think that is something to always keep in the back of our mind. Worrying just causes anxiety and stress which in the end is just proof that we are human and want to have control over things that we should let God be in control of.
