Baby Update!

I had my first appointment this past Monday, and it could not have gone better. I love to hear the baby's heart beat each visit, but there is something amazing about that first time! So far, my little one is looking good. This baby had a very strong heartbeat at 163 BPM. It is amazing to see how tiny they are at first. Here are the sono's I got to take home.

This pregnancy has been a bit different than the other two. I have been real nauseous for the past few weeks, much more than with the boys. And it started much earlier (like 5 weeks) where as with the boys, I did not feel sick at all until the end of week 7! And this sickness has been much stronger than with the boys. It has me in a rough place from around 3 pm- bedtime. Generally, during the day, I am just real tired. But all of these symptoms are happy symptoms, and I am grateful that the little one in my womb is growing! Praise God for new life!

We told Tyler about the baby, and he is so curious and wants to see the sonogram all of the time. He talks about our baby a lot, which is just so sweet to me. He keeps kissing my tummy and telling me he has a baby too.

And I am hoping for another fit pregnancy like with Jack and not like with Ty. So far, I am in the same weight I was with Jack and I think if the nausea keeps up, I will likely stay in this place! We will see! Every pregnancy is different, so I am just hoping to avoid all the junk food that sounds good most of the time!

So that's it for baby news for now. I will post a "move" update soon!

Hi Tali,

Taking vitamin B complex really helped my nausea and energy levels. You can check with your doctor/midwife or search online, but generally between 50-150mg is recommended for morning sickness, preferably in a timed release capsule. If you try it let me know if it helps you!!

Diagnosis and Grace

Friends- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm46:1 Much has happened since I last wrote only 2 short days ago. We found out much later that night a new diagnosis, that our sweet boy has leukemia . We were not completely shocked but we were certainly shaken. After I posted about what was going on at Shady Grove, and we waited a bit more for some results, and we were informed that we needed to take Jack to Children's Hospital in DC for further testing with specialists. This raised our concern level quite high as you can imagine, that even with a snow storm coming, we were needing to make this trip. I began to google the combination of things they had found in the tests done on our little boy (swollen spleen, low platelet count , swollen lymph nodes) and came up options that were NOT Lyme disease, although a few of these symptoms did also look like Lyme. As a result of the google quest, I came across some concerning outcomes, one of the most

I am so happy to share that the results from the bone marrow biopsy came back with the results we had hoped and prayed for! They said they found less than 0.1% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow!!! So this is such great news! The prognosis is a good one, and now we get to keep marching on into the next 3 years of making sure the Leukemia does not come back and he is fully in remission! Thank you all so much for all the prayers said on our behalf! I also have the happy report of how last night and this morning went as well... So last night, we woke Jack up at 11:30 to feed him one last time before midnight. He was so sweet and groggy but ate a bunch of nuggets and french fries. We gave him a bottle and put him in bed at midnight and hoped for the best... well, he did not wake up again until 4:45... which was AMAZING for us and him! That was a long stretch for the little guy! After that he cried for a while and Jordan tried distracting him with books and holding him for a while. Jordan w

Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since
