Our Big Surprise

Towards the end of November I started feeling sick. Lots of things were going around, and I did my very best to take care of myself. After a week I was still feeling very ill. I was tired, nauseated, and just not feeling well. I wasn't too concerned, because Hunter and Halle seemed to have the same thing that I had. Well Hunter got better, but I did not. I called Bekah, to see if Halle was better (praying that she was still sick like me) but she was feeling better.
At this point I thought it would be a good idea to go to my OBGYN. I knew mentally that there could be no possible way that I was pregnant (less then 1%). But, something was just not quite right.
I called the office to get an appointment to check my IUD. They wanted me to wait over a month until to new year to go in, but I expressed to them the urgency of the situation, and they got me in two days later.
Normally when I have a doctor appointment like this one, Jeff usually doesn't come with me, but for some reason, he decided that he needed to be there. We waited for a short while, and then went in to get an ultrasound.
The girl got to work, and immediately started to look for the IUD. She looked for a few seconds, then was silent for a moment, and said. "You are six and a half weeks pregnant!"
My mouth dropped open. I knew that there was a possibility, but I couldn't believe it! I looked at Jeff, and he looked at me, and we both started smiling. This was a miracle baby.
After the doctors office, Jeff and I were walking quietly back to the car. All of a sudden, Jeff raises his fist in the air, and yells, "YEAH." He really thought he was hot stuff.
Ever since then, this pregnancy has been scary and difficult. When I was about thirteen weeks, I had to go to the emergency room. I was bleeding so bad, that in my head I knew that I had to be having a miscarriage. After waiting three hours, we finally got an ultrasound to check on the baby. I have never heard a sweeter sound, then the sound of that baby's heartbeat.
They found that I had a massive blood clot, and put me on modified bed rest. They are worried about pre-term labor, and a bunch of other things. I have to go in every six weeks for an ultrasound, to make sure that the baby is growing right, and nothing else is going wrong.
Well today I went in for another ultrasound. This one, I was extremely excited for. We were going to find out what we were having. This must truly be a miracle baby, because according to two ultrasound doctors, Jeff and I are having our first baby girl!
We are all so excited! Hunter was jumping up and down with joy. He is extra excited, because he picked the name out for a girl.
So this has definitely been an up and down roller coaster. I am in constant fear, that something could go wrong with the baby. So I have to keep telling myself, this is our miracle baby. She has already beaten the odds so many times, and I think that she is going to continue to do so.
