I had my first appointment with my doctor this week. My OB/GYN is actually my good friend, Heather. It's been so amazing to walk through this process with a Godly woman and someone who I know really cares about me and my desire for children. She was so excited when I told her I was pregnant.
She checked my HCG and progesterone levels and everything was completely normal! I honestly have to say I am relieved to know that things are progressing well. With my last pregnancy, things just didn't add up. Because of my PCOS (and since I wasn't on Clomid) there was no way to know when I did ovulate. So we went by the hormone levels. And the levels did not match the timeframe. I just felt like something was wrong from the get go. Although I trusted the Lord and His ability to preserve the life growing inside of me, I was concerned.
This time, Heather looked at me and said, "I'm not even worried this time. Last time I have to admit I was a little concerned. But I just feel like everything is right this time." This gave me so much peace.
In reality, there is no guarantee that this is it for us. Mostly because I still do not know what the Lord will require of me and Dave on this journey. But I have to say, I do have such a feeling of joy and peace that we will hold this baby in our arms.
January 2008. I know it will be worth the wait.
