IVF Update

Haha.  Now I think God is toying with the Dr.'s.

Good heartbeat.  Good growth.  Much better than last weeks, "I think this is a failed pregnancy."  To God be the glory!

He is concerned.  The baby is measuring 6.5 weeks when it should be 7.5 weeks.  Doesn't seem like a big deal, but apparently it is.  And he said (this is a different Dr. than last week) that he has seen this type of situation turn out for the good once or twice.  Guess we'll be number three!

Keep praying!  The kid won't give up.  And neither will we!

Room Dynamics

You can make any room look the way you want it.  This is especially important if you are portable.  Gyms, cafeterias, and hallways can be cold and uninviting.  Auditoriums can swallow your congregation.  Keep it tight.  Keep it small.  Keep it warm.  How?  Use pipe and drape!  It sets up easy and comes down fast.  And its an inexpensive way to make a room do anything you want it to.  We use GA Expo.  Simply because they have the best price.  And, when you order from someone else, usually its GA Expo material.  So why go through a middle guy?  Anyway, they have been a huge help to us.  And their cart options make the setup and tear down even faster.  Check them out!  Oh, and talk to Dawn.

IVF Update

Sorry to say that the Dr. wasn't very hopeful today.  What they saw should have been bigger and the evidence leads them to believe that the pregnancy is failing.  They'll confirm everything Tuesday.  Still in limbo so not sure how to feel.  Thank you for your prayers.  God is in control. 

Victory

I have won
I entered the layer
I slayed the dragon
I emerged victorious
The spoils of the battle are being enjoyed
There is no feeling like this
Like a warrior in battle
I hold my prize high
Doubters must shrink in dismay
All shout for joy
The Admin Pastor has done it
In a flurry of paper he fought
The dragon could resist no more
4 Tags from the DMV have been reaped
It is left speechless
It has been reduced to a puppy
I fear it no more,
and the trailers are naked no more
Rejoice

IVF Update

Wow, think I need to change this to the 'IVF Blog'.

Anyhow, went and had an ultrasound this morning – with a 15 month old present.  Fun stuff.

The result was the Dr. was able to see a yoke sack.  He was happy about that.  The IVF Nurse said she didn't think that was going to be the case.  Haha.  Everyone was very encouraged.  The only thing he didn't care for was the presence of a hematoma, which will probably be passed in the near future.  The plan now is to do regular ultrasounds and track the growth of the yoke sack and start looking for the actual baby.  Her hCG levels may just be low, or the baby has genetic defects and that is resulting in the low numbers.  So the regular ultrasounds will be the determiner.  My take – we're pregnant, let's move on.  I'm tired of living like this.  I'm just going to accept the fact that in 9 months I'll be losing more sleep than I do now.

Next ultrasound will be next Thursday.  Thank you for your continued prayers!
