Nerves

Later today is my first ultrasound appointment and I am sooo nervous. I hardly slept at all last night because I tossed and turned and dreamed about my ultrasound. I guess I'm nervous because if anything was wrong with the baby we would find out today. I also have to have a lot of blood drawn today. I don't really have a problem with needles (I mean I'm not a fan or anything) but I don't freak out like some people do. They will also try to hear the heartbeat again. I just hope everything goes super smoothly. I am at the point in my pregnancy where if everything is ok today then my chances of something going wrong later dramatically decrease. It is 7 in the morning and my appointment isn't until 1 so I am gonna have to calm my thoughts. I am glad ben is going with me today, he might have to leave early to head to work but he is at least getting to go for a little while. Everyone say a prayer for our little one today.

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalm 139:23-24

Fear not. Our Lord will be holding your hand and our Prayers will be wrapped around you, Ben and our sweet little baby.

Jennifer and Ben,

You all are always in our prayers.....

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7


"Be strong, banish fear and doubt. Remember the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

I love you both,

I am so anxious to hear what you find out today.
I am glad Ben will be with you.
I am sure everything will be fine but I remember the anxiety that we all feel until the doctor affirms that for us.
I just said a prayer.
Go have a pumpkin spice latte afterwards!
Love you bunches, MOM


Love you bunches........MOM

Jenni,

Your mom is so right! Everything will be fine and Pumpkin Spice Latte (decaf, of course) will make everything good. And besides, it will make you think Fall :)
