I have been kind of hesitant to blog about this but I think it is time. Tom and I are expecting another baby! I am currently 20 weeks along. The reason I was hesitant is because my pregnancies are considered high risk. With my autoimune condition - Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, my overactive immune system tries to reject my pregnancies and I start having lots of contractions early on. They actually started at 7 weeks with this one. With my other two I went into preterm labor and was on meds and bedrest but fortunately made it to 36 weeks. So far with this one my doctor is trying to keep me off the meds and he just told me to listen to my body and take it easy. Walking around a store can set me off so I have been good and keeping my feet up as much as I can.
Anyway, even though we were content with our 2 girls we believed and it has been prophecied over us that God had more children for us so we never used birth control and it took 9 years to conceive this one. Today we had an ultrasound and found out we are having another girl! We are excited. Tom loves his little ladies. The name we are probably going to go with is Clare Elizabeth.
Keep us in your prayers that the rest of this pregnancy will go smoothly.
