I'm sure my grammar is all out of whack for the title of this post, but it's a HAPPY day so I think even my English teaching husband will give me a pass!
For anyone that doesn't already know the four month checkup appointment is one of the most uneventful, nerve racking appointments there is... well, maybe till the five month check up where we find out the gender and check all the baby's measurements to be sure we're growing A-OK.
Month four is the first stage of testing for any abnormalities and it takes a FULL 7 days to get results! KILLER! If the results are negative (ie don't show anything of note) the doctor doesn't call and if there is a problem they call to discuss your next steps/options. I was counting down the days. And Friday came and went without a call. What a relief. What a blessing.
I may be a little hyper-sensitive these days because a dear friend of mine just lost her baby (she was a month ahead of us) and my heart just aches for her, as a friend, a fellow mother (she already has two little ones) and as a pregnant woman. It's so difficult to find words in this situation. There are no words. They are finding their own way to heal but she's asked friends for some time and distance as they get through this difficult time. So I feel helpless, but for now I just pray every day and thank God for my healthy boy and our second on the way. God's angels are protecting our baby right now until delivery when it's our turn - who am I kidding, I'll still be praying to baby's guardian angels long after pregnancy. I'm sure my parents still do the same, regardless of the years that have passed and the miles that keep us apart... just a parent's right I suppose.
So it's Monday morning. I'm in the office crying at my desk because this posting touched me so deeply. Thank you for letting me share. And thank you for reading/participating in our baby blog. Your support and love for our growing family means the world to us.
So blessed.
