Loving our Baby Through the Pain.

We were expecting big things from this appointment.  We waited, not for too long, and went back for our ultra sound with Peg (who said she was happy to see us back).  She asked if someone had looked at the baby before and we told her all was well with our first ultrasound.  She was excited to get started.

She started the ultrasound and we saw our little one.  She passed over the baby a few times and Tom gasped.  We both saw it.  We knew exactly what it was.  The familiar halo around the babies head.  Peg started to tear up.  "There is a cystic hygroma," she managed to say.  Tom and I looked at each other, scared of what was to come.  Peg had to turn away to collect herself.  She apologized and told us that she never gets bothered by things like this, but she did not expect another hygroma and she just wanted to see us happy.

She took a few measurements and went to call the specialist.  Tom made some phone calls to tell our parents the news.  He came back in the room and we said a prayer for our baby then we cried together.  We don't understand why this is happening again.  We just want to be parents and can't seem to have a healthy baby. We were so excited and now we are devastated.

We spent some time with our parents and sent a prayer out for our baby. 

After we came home, I got a call from Dr. Jaskierny.  She said she did not even know what to say.  She was so excited for us to get the ultrasound done because she was sure it would bring good news.  She spent some time talking to my specialist and they are both very concerned.  Neither of them expected this to happen again and both are not sure where to go from here.  They are debating sending me right to U of M hospital.  I have an appointment on Monday with my specialist do go over the ultrasound and discus what test we want to do.

We are so baffled to be in this position again.  I can not handle burying another child.  GOD HELP US!  We are trying to stay positive and pray for a miracle.  We know that through God all things are possible.  We love our baby and will enjoy our baby for as long as it is with us.  For the next couple of weeks we will be down on our knees praying for a healthy baby.

I lift up my eyes to the hills— where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:1-2

Praise God for His faithfulness in giving us a child!
