Be Still...


I did my first ultrasound when I just started my 6th week.  All they found was a gestational sac, no yolk sac and no pole/heartbeat... I had another ultrasound done yesterday, on the end of my 8th week, and all they found was the gestational sac plus a yolk sac but still no pole... it is now officially time to consider a blighted ovum but still not too late for a completely normal pregnancy as there had been cases of heartbeats being seen on the 9th to 12th week.  I also saw literature that states that if a yolk sac is present then it is not a blighted ovum.  However, we have another concern, a subchrionic hemorrhage has been seen around my gestational sac and it is big.  This is said to be another cause of miscarriages.  

Ynigo has been super excited for the baby... he has been praying to God everyday saying thank You and asking God to make the baby come out na because he wants to see her/him already.  Last night, he hugged and kissed my tummy which he does everyday too and while caressing my tummy suddenly said with a smile, "this is my blessing!" Oh, I felt such a strong tug in my heart.  I thought if this pregnancy does not continue he will surely be heartbroken... isn't he just too young?

God has been faithful and has been supplying me and Jason with hope and I have been holding on to His words, "Be still and know that I am God"-Psalm 46:10.  But seeing Ynigo so in love with the baby already makes me cry...

I can do nothing but wait on Him...  I am fortunate to have a Big God who is bigger than any problem I may face.
