The Pregnancy

My husband and I had been married 6 weeks when we first "tried" getting pregnant. Little did we know we were so fertile :-) On November 29th we found out we were pregnant. First month trying. We felt so blessed to have the ability to get pregnant and have a child. My mom and dad were in the process of adoption when they got pregnant with me.

Since we found out so early I waited patiently every day for that morning sickness to come. By week 9 still felt nothing and started to realize I probably wasnt going to get it. YEAH I was most worried about my AFP test. I am not sure why but it was something that just concerned me. I was totally releived when it came back negative and the lowest I could have scored 1 in 10,000. I never knew it would be the ultrasound I had to worry about.

It was an awful day, the day we had our scan. They wouldnt let my huisband in the room with me until after most of the ultrasound was done. The tech wasnt very nice and it started to worry me, all his different expressions. He finally said I could go out get my husband and try to get the baby to wake up so we could finish the scan. He said just come back in whenever. TAKE YOU TIME, he said. That was weird to hear. I knew we were in a medical facilty with time limits on appointments. As we waited for almost 30 minutes I looked at my husband and said somethings not right. When the tech finally came back the radiologist was with him. I looked at he doctor with fear and asked whats wrong. He brought us back into the room and said "SO FAR the is one MAJOR ABNORMALITY with his BRAIN." I started to cry and freak out. I wanted to know more. Will he live? Will he be impaired? Is he ok? Crying and begging for answers the jerk said to me, "You know what I really need to just oay attention to the rest of the scan. We still have to see his heart and finad all his legs, arms, hands and feet." I laid there for thirty minutes crying while they finished. Even after he was inaccurate in telling me what was going on. Since then the outcome has been much more positive. We see a geneticist about evry 4-6 weeks. Baby Parker has remained stable and everything else is perfect. We continue to pray daily he will be ok at delivery. With a 90% chance all will be perfect we hope for the best. I am 30 weeks pregnant when I am writing this. All we do now is wait.

We went in on June 11th for our last ultrasound!!!! Baby Parekrs ventricles shruck from 12 down to 8. The doctors believes it is just how he developed and all will be well. Everything else looks PERFECT!! I cant beleive what a miracle God has blessed us with by healing our baby boy!
