Blessed!

I feel very fortunate at this time and I can't let this go unsaid (is that a word?) Tuesday I had a Dr appt (that I was dreading because I go every 2 weeks!) 5 days previous I had been telling my friends and family that I haven't been feeling her move as often as i normally do. As my dr. is checking me he seemed a little concerned. Side note... I am very high risk for losing this little girl in the 2nd trimester because I have a blood clotting condition called Thrombophilia due to my complications at Avas birth. My uterus was embolized to stop the postpartum bleeding.
So, I tell him that I haven't felt her and he said, "I'm going to get you in tomorrow morning for an emergency ultrasound." (with a very concerned look on his face) Me, trying not to freak out, I start asking all of my questions. My main question was, "I am leaving out of town sat. morning." He said, "sweetie, you probably aren't going out of town." My heart starts racing and I of course asked, "why?" He informed me that I will probably be hospitalized and monitored for awhile because she isn't getting enough blood to survive. Thinking of all the variables, I am trying to remain calm. I have come so far, I can't imagine losing her. So that night my dad comes over to help my husband give me a priesthood blessing. I didn't want anyone to know of course because I felt that everything would be ok. There was no need to worry until the next morning if something were truly wrong. I was up all night tossing and turning. Well, what if? Thinking about little Ava, who has waited so long for this baby. I go to my ultrasound, saying 50 prayers on the way there! I felt her move a couple times while sitting in the waiting room, thinking everything is going to be just fine. I lay down and the tech says, "well, your little princess seems to be doing just fine!" I felt this huge weight lift off my shoulders! I am thinking, "thank you Heavenly Father." I am so grateful for this little girl. I was getting so choked up watching her move, I am so attached to her already! I feel I am due for a good delivery! Can it get any worse? I have come to the conclusion that I am NOT made to have babies! Let's hope and pray all goes well! Sorry for the long post! If this doesn't make sense it's because it's 4:30am... Emmie not sleeping well! Cheers!She still looks alienish, but I'm so in love!
Cute profile!

You should have called me at 4:30 am, or 3:30 or 2:30 get the point! Crew did not want to sleep all night! Love the cute pictures. I think she totally looks like Emmie. I'm so glad everything worked out. You are such a good mom and Heavenly Father will bless you. Have fun on your trip!

I am so glad to hear she is fine. I think you have had enough stress with pregnancy and deliveries. You will surely be blessed for your faithfulness. You have two gorgeous little girls. Cant wait to see what the third will look like.

I can't imagine how scary that must have been, but I am SO glad that she is okay. Good heavens...I think too many of us take pregnancy for granted...I never had a complication and I forget how many people do and just how precious life is...even unborn life. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I just have to say that you are a very special Mom---Brooke, Paige & Emily say such wonderful things about you. Now I know why. You truly are an inspiration!
