41/2 Month Doctor's Appt.




Where do I begin? We had a doctor's appointment on Friday. We thought it was just going to be a routine checkup but it turned out to be much more. We saw a wonderful doctor. We heard a very strong and loud heart beat however the doctor was very concerned about the size of my stomach. First I had not gained any weight and second I was not measuring at 4 1/2 months. He was concerned the sack around the baby was not big enough. He asked us to go back to the waiting area and he would call us back again to do an ultrasound. Needless to say, the weight was terrible. As it turned out the baby was fine. The sack appeared fine and the baby's abdomen measured 18 weeks. The doctor assured us everything was fine. Wow! We were so relieved. Thank you Lord for having your hands around our little baby. The great thing about the doctor's visit is first we got to see the baby again, second we know the baby is developing on schedule, and third we got two new pictures of the baby. The first picture is of the baby waving. The second picture is a little hard to see but it is a picture of the baby's face. If you look closely, you will see two little eyes, a nose, and a mouth. We go back for another ultrasound in two weeks.


He said, "The wait was terrible... probably the worst thing I have ever been through. I was so glad things are fine. See Caroline I told you so.:


She said, "Of course I was thinking of all the terrible things that could be wrong. I am thankful I have John to keep me positive."
