today was our first prenatal doctor's appointment & we left with not so good news. from what my doctor could see during the ultrasound i am definitely pregnant, but because she couldn't find a heartbeat she believes that i most likely miscarried. i am going to have an additional ultrasound on monday at 11am to find out for sure. this ultrasound is supposed to be stronger and more conclusive.
there is some positive news, though. i have not had any signs of a miscarriage at this point. also, the baby is actually 6 weeks old, not 8 weeks as we had previously thought. there is a chance that the heartbeat wasn't visible because the baby is not old enough to detect one on the ultrasound machine.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always;
pray without ceasing;
in everything give thanks;
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
we take comfort in knowing that god is in control and he would not give us more than we can handle. we will continue to trust in him & know that his will, will be done. we ask that you pray for us this weekend. obviously, we would be so excited to hear that my doctor's initial thoughts were wrong & that our baby is fine & healthy. but we also ask for prayer that we would not lose heart & that we would "rejoice always", even if the news doesn't come back as we want it.
we love you all. thank you so much for your prayers. <3
