Today was the first appointment with the midwife. The baby has a strong heartbeat and is definitely growing. In fact, I am measuring much larger than anticipated for 16 weeks. The midwife is sending us in for an ultrasound to determine whether we have twins … or whether my uterine fibroids are growing.

Bleeding during pregnancy is not a good sign, so the couple of bleeding episodes which gave indication that the Lord might take this baby were trying days. We do not want to lose this baby prematurely, but we have sought to rest in the Lord and to trust Him for the outcome. I am on bed-rest for part of the day trying to not overwork myself or do any heavy lifting. Miraculously, it seems the Lord has chosen to sustain this little life. Our hearts are rejoicing!
