Kelsey Brook

Its amazing to know that you have someone elses life growing inside of you but it can also be scary especially being since I have been able to carry two babies before but also lose them during the pregnancy. I honestly did not believe that I would ever become a mother. During the past 5 years I have wondered if maybe it was something that God just did not have planned out for me but I never lost hope. There were some times that I really wanted to just give up and say that God just wasnt listening to me but I also knew in my heart that God would let it happen when it was time too. I am now 5 months pregnant with Kels and I can say that I am scared but I am also excited. It is hard not to be excited when you have someone moving around in your belly reminding you that they are here and alive. I will continue to be scared throughout the next few months but I know that God will do what he believes is best and we are trying everything on this end to make sure that Kelsey is healthy and strong.

I went for another ultrasound last week and I just love being able to see her. She moved around ALOT but she finally let us get a good picture :) The doctors say that everything is going well right now but the next month and a half will be a crucial point for us because I have never made it past 6 1/2 months. We are hoping that the 17-P shot will help us with this and will allow me to be able to carry her at least long enough to where everything will be ok. I go next week for another ultrasound so they can check my cervixs again to make sure they are still holding up, hopefully they will be! Until next time!

I went to the doctor Thursday to do an ultrasound to check on my cervix’s and during the whole thing we were able to find out the sex of the baby!! I am thrilled that we are having a little GIRL! I honestly didn’t mind if we had a boy or girl, as long as the baby was healthy! I love getting an ultrasound because you get to see what the baby is doing in there lol. My baby girl was sucking her finger. You could see her mouth move J I love the feeling of knowing everything is going good. The heart beat was also good, 144 beats.

My cervixs also looked good, which was a huge relief!  We finally came up with a decision and we decided we were going to do the P-17 shot. I don’t know that much about it except that it is a hormone that is supposed to stop you from going into premature labor. I am still looking for better research.

Everything seems to be going well with the baby. I am finally starting to feel her move around in there. :) I believe we have finally decided we are going to name her "Kelsey Brook" The name seems to be sticking with me so for now we are going to stick with that name! The shots are doing well, I just hate going once a week lol but I have to do what I need to so that my baby girl is taken care of!
