Are you sure?

I am the queen of asking...Are you sure? I thought it was funny to think back on all the times I have said those 3 words on this journey. The nurses and doctors that we have worked with have been phenomenal and I am so grateful that they have dealt with my craziness :) Thankfully our doctor is aware of everything we have been through and understands our need for constant reassurance (OK, maybe just my need sometimes) :)  I thank God that we found a great doctor and staff who are responsive to my nervous calls and always willing to answer my questions.

We had a doctor appointment on Thursday and everything was good. The doctor did not do a sonogram, even though I asked at least 5 times if he was sure we didn't need one.  He said that my pregnancy is "normal" now and he did not see a need at this appointment.  He did listen with the Doppler, and the baby's heartbeat was 159...which he said was great.  We go back in 3 weeks for a sonogram, and I guess we could find out the sex at that appointment, but we aren't. :)  I think I finally have Josh convinced that this will be a fun surprise and we don't need to find out.  Actually, I don't think he is convinced, but I think he realizes I may get the final say in this decision :)

I keep waiting for our luck to run out, but then I am reminded that its not luck that has gotten us this far. This journey has encouraged our relationship with God, and I know that it will only continue. Josh and I pray every night for the strength to accept God's will, and I know that we will accept whatever happens.  I can't say that I have let go of my consuming fears, but I think I am finally feeling a little more hopeful that this is actually happening. We continue to pray every night for everyone trying to conceive, and to help those feeling hopeless realize there is hope! Please continue to keep us in your prayers and we are thrilled to continue our journey to meeting our little one!
