Kicks!

My sister in law, Jenny lent me a device where I can listen to Faith's heartbeat, kicks and hiccups. It is so neat.

This morning I was listening in and I look at the device and she was kicking it. It was so funny. Love those moments when I see her kick!

Less than 9 weeks to go

Today I am 31 wks 3 days. Time is starting to fly. I am so excited but at the same time so nervous and scared. I am not sure if we are bringing her home or not. Please God, I need my miracle. Heal Faith!

I am Human, I have emotions

This is not an easy journey to travel. Yes, I am trusting God that he is going to heal Faith. At the same time I am human. I feel that I cannot cry and let out my emotions. When Lazarus died, Jesus mounrned and cried, but He also raised him from the dead. Until Faith is born and I know she is ok, my mind will be at ease.

So when I am venting our my frustrations, worries, and just want to cry. Please let me do it.

Prayer Request

I met someone in the Thanatophoric Dysplasia group who goes by the name John Teresa. She is in her 28th week of pregnancy and she has to be induced on this Wednesday June 23, 2010. Please keep her and family in your Prayers. Really I would love to for her to be healed so she will not have to be induced and carry her son to term.

John Teresa, if you are reading this I am thinking of you and Praying for you. This is a difficult time!

30 Weeks

Today I am officially at 30 wks pregnant. Hard to believe 10 more weeks to go. My stomach feels so hard now.

Today I was relaxing on the couch and I felt what seemed to be kick and I thought I might have seen my stomach move. So I poked around my belly where I suspected the kick came from. Then I stopped and watched, sure enough she kicked again and I saw my belly jiggle. It was so neat! It is hard to believe that there is a life growing inside me. What ever time I do have with Faith I will cherish, even while she is in the womb.

In The News

http://www.globaltoronto.com/Mother+accused+drowning+child+pleads+guilty+manslaughter/3157940/story.html

So this story was on Global News and honestly I was so angered by it. A woman, drowns her 4 year old autistic child in the bathtub is released from prison. Plead guilty but sentenced to time served. The kicker is she wants to have another child! I am total disbelief and angered! I just don't know what to think!

Yes, I believe in forgiveness of sin. Why should she be able to have another child? So she can kill again? I hope she undergoes some good psychatric treatment. At least we all know she will be watched closely by CAS.

Less that 12 Weeks to Go

Less than 12 weeks to go until Faith arrives. The closer I get to August 27th, the hardest it gets. I just want her to come out alive and well. Breathing on her own. Totally healed of this diagnosis.

The hardest thing today was going to the funeral home to pre-plan her funeral. Hoping that it won't be necessary. I got to see where the chapel is. I had to try and take deep breaths. It felt like something was choking me. This is so hard to go through. Sometimes I feel so alone because I don't really know anyone who has to carry a baby to term knowing that medically speaking she will not live. At the same time living in faith that God will intervene.

My Nephew Dean's Birthday

Today was my nephew Dean's 2nd Birthday. It is hard to believe two years have gone by. It just seems like yesterday I was visiting him at the hospital to welcome him in to this world. He is walking starting to talk. Amazing how children grow fast.

Due to certain circumstances I cannot post pics of him. I am posting a pic of Elmo and I. They had Elmo come to the birthday party. It was awesome! The weather was great and the rain held off.
