We had our first OB appointment last Tuesday, and it wasn't good. We had an ultrasound and the baby wasn't measuring up the way it should at this point, so we were told to see a specialist the following day knowing something was wrong. We went to a specialist and had another ultrasound, and we were told that the baby has fluid building up all over it's body and in it's lungs, and that it was causing a lot of swelling. There are chromosome problems, and that there is nothing we can do at this point, that the baby won't make it, and that I will miscarry sometime soon. A month at the most. Those are words you never want to hear, and it was so hard for both Brian and I to listen to. My heart just sank, and I was filled with fear and anxiety. Brian and I just cried, and cried. All we know is that, God is good, and that we WILL get through this. I just continue to say "I don't have a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." 2nd Timothy 1:7
For now, we pray and believe in a healthy baby, but we also pray that if God is ready to take this baby home, then we are at peace with that too. We are surrounded by such wonderful family and friends to help us through this. We are also reminded everyday of our wonderful miracle, Daxton. He is such a precious gift to us, and he keeps us going and happy. :) Please pray for us to be at peace, and to be comforted during this time of pain. We have a follow up with the specialist on Wednesday after school. We are anxious to see what happens from there, no matter what, God is in control!
Philippians 4:6-7Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ.
It breaks my heart to hear this. Lots of prayers coming your way!
