Thank you.

I am not an expectant mother, but an expectant father. My wife and I have two boys, 7 and 4, and we are expecting twins in July. The twins are fraternal, one is a boy and the other a girl. They keep telling us that the twins are going to have birth defects, but I do not believe that. Next Thursday, 4/7 we have to go to Overland Park Kansas for more tests. God let us plan the other two children, and he decided on this pregnancy and threw an extra one in for us. I am assuming so we can have our little girl. We have already decided that we will take our kids an God gives them, and love them like they deserve to be loved. As the father, husband, and head of my house hold, I hold tremendous authority over my family in Christ. Armed with this knowledge, I will be using certain passages out of the Bible to combat the enemy, and ensure safe and healthy children. I will let you all know how it goes, if you are interested. Have a great day, and be blessed.

rare feathers farm, keeping you and your baby girl in my prayers. I'll also pray that this month goes quickly for you.

I am 16 weeks as of yesterday. We see the Dr. on Wednesday of this week....and I'm hoping to get my ultrasound in the next 2 weeks! They are sending me up to a bigger city for a level 2 ultrasound because my last pregnancy I had placenta previa and was considered high risk. My Dr. said that puts me at a higher risk for a repeat placenta previa this pregnancy.

I sure hope that doesn't happen this time!

Yea, I hope not, too...and if I don't have a repeat of it, I'm going to push for a VBAC even if it IS against hospital policy...

I do not know why I am so nervous, but if everything works out where we can get the family together tonight, we plan on telling everybody then. I'm especially nervous of telling my parents. It's as if I'm afraid they will know what I was doing to get this way. LOL! I'll let you know how things go.

I actually ran into my doctor at Wal-Mart this morning (small world and what perfect timing?) and told her I was worried sick. She reassured me that with my age, the quad screen test results (which were the lowest possible outcomes) and everything else being "normal" on the ultrasound that the heart thing will probably resolve itself on it's own before the baby is even born and will probably be healthy in every other way.

It made me feel a little bit better but of course, I'm still worried.

I don't know why either. But it was the same way for me. When I told my family, I was terrified. I honestly felt like a 16 year that was about to get into major trouble.. I haven't felt like that in 20 years..

Wow, that was nice to run into her. That would have eased my mind a good bit. I know you are still worried, I think that's natural... But still!!
