"SPECIAL"

emotions have been high the last few days. i have had some ups and downs and wrote a few posts, and erased them all. i had started to get a bit scared when we (my friends who are so close to my due date as well) start talking about birth. i was scared. these weeks are going by fast! i was worried about what mine was going to be like emotionally. i was worried for wyatt. so, i became emotional. then i was sent a video that sent me over the edge. actually, into hysterics. so, i worried about my baby all weekend until today.

we had another specialist appointment. and i am going to highlight on the special in "specialist".

i see dr.stevenson and like i said before, she is my friend now. she gave me this bracelet today to encourage me throughout this....she made me feel "special". she is a person that when i see her, i feel relief. she has already come into my heart and we will be friends for life.

the words on it are LOVE, FAITH, HOPE, BELIEVE, COURAGE, WISDOM, UNITY,DIVERSITY,MAKE A DIFFERENCE,FREEDOM.

it is beautiful and i wear it with pride. these are all the things that i need to get through the day. how amazing? God is truly looking out for us and the people he has brought into my life ;)

we also got to see our baby boy for almost 2 hours. andrew, our sonographer (who we had last time and i requested again), talked to us, showed us again all the beautiful blood flow, his brain, heart, etc. he is also a special man that has made me feel so "special". they see a lot of tears from mothers to be and have a hard job, so it is nice to hear good things about your baby.

new things:

-his eyes, NOSE, cheeks, JAW are all symmetrical (praise the Lord!)

- we did get a good picture and did see the palate - BUT she said it does not go as far back as she originally thought (again, great news!! - but we can't always know FOR SURE until he is born) but the fluid we saw go in, showed this.

otherwise, he is 2.2 pounds, measuring right on time and again, gets cuter and cuter everytime i see him!!

we see the surgeon on friday at 10 and will learn a ton more. but for now, seeing my beautiful wyatt has put me on a major HIGH. i am excited to give birth to my baby boy. august is going to be a "special" month. i am going to try and no longer be scared for him. i know in my heart he is going to be WAY stronger than i will ever be.
