Sigh of RELIEF

After one sonogram, a few tests, and a visit with an internist we are breathing a huge sigh of relief. My mom was able to change my sonogram appointment to today and was also able to squeeze me in to see a VERY busy internist. It pays to be the daughter of a very well liked nurse! The sonogram showed that the baby is measuring right on track which we knew from just 4 weeks ago but also that there wasn't too much amniotic fluid which could lead to some other more serious problems. My blood work showed nothing out of the ordinary as well. WHEW! As far as the visit with the internist I passed a very basic physical that made me feel like an old lady. I only say that because I have been with my grandma when she has gone through the same sort of exam. Hers was because of Alzheimers mine was for headaches. I hope there is no connection. HA! The doctor felt at this time there were no indicators that made him feel this was serious and that it didn't need further tests. So I got a prescription for a stronger medication to control them. Over all I was excited to see the little guy and relieved to have such good news.

When we saw him he was just sitting there criss-cross and looking like he was meditating. He hardly moved and was being a good little boy for the technician to measure everything. At the end she focused on his face and he just smiled. I immediately started thinking of what was going through his mind. He looked very cozy in there.

Was this just nothing and my doctor being cautious? Maybe. Was it something and after much prayer from my family and friends it was miraculously taken care of? Maybe. Will I question it? Absolutely not! I have an obligation to praise God for his care in this situation. I do not know how much intervention he played in it but I do know that he was with me over the past 3 days and that he did work (like he always does) without fail.

Unless we come up with any more names we are officially down to two! I am not a secret keeper and if we ever decide for sure I will definitely let everyone know but for now we are undecided on Mason Baker or Jace Baker. Each one has meaning for our family with Baker being my maiden name and Jace being similar to my dad's brother (Jack) who died when he was 19. Mason is similar to our other kid's names because it is a 2 syllable name ending with an "n". So scientific huh? We like both names equally. I use equally loosely because we each have our favorites but we are happy with them and think they are good names for a Melban.
