November 18th!

Today we were scheduled to meet with a specialist to find out if the diagnosis we were given about our baby girl was really true. Several people were praying for us all over the place and it meant so much to us to see so many posts and prayers going up all over facebook for us and our baby. Jonathan and I had sat with my mom the night before writing out a list of questions we had to ask the specialist about my health and different things we wanted to know about Anencephaly babies. We had done alot of research in the last couple of days about it but still needed some questions to be answered. The specialist did the ultrasound and did verify that what our dr. had seen was definately true. She was very sweet and went over several areas on the ultrasound for us showing us a healthy heart and tons of different things and let us ask questions while she was doing the scan. She then turned off the screen and we began to ask her a whole list of questions which she answered everyone of them just like we had hoped. She told us it wasn't dangerous for me to carry a baby with anencephaly if that's what we had decided which I told her that would be our only option we would never ever terminate. Our baby girl was alive and we would carry her the whole nine months and enjoy every minute we had with her when she was born. So we left the specialist office feeling so much peace about the whole situation and we then felt God was already giving us some amazing strength and helping us to understand that he has a purpose and plan for everything we go through in life. We don't always understand why we have been chosen but we trust God with everything. We know God can work miracles and could heal our baby girl but we know that it might not be his will and he might need her in Heaven and want to work miracles through her instead.
