Babies are miracles from above

It's amazing how much a baby can mean to you, even when they are only a few inches long and you've never met them and you've only known about them for a short time. Yesterday we had quite the scare. I honestly thought I was having a miscarriage due to all the blood I had lost. I called my doctor in the morning after it started and she scheduled an appt for me to come in at 2pm yesterday afternoon. All morning I was very upset because I thought we were going to lose our baby. I was very grateful to my husband who came home and prayed with me and let me know it would be okay no matter what happened. I am also very grateful to dear friends who came over immediately when I called to see if there was anything they could do. One friend took Isaac and the other three children I was watching yesterday. She took them all over to her house so I wouldn't have to worry about them. Another friend came over and prayed with me and talked with me to keep my mind off of things until Joe could get home. We are so thankful to our family and friends who prayed for us yesterday.
On our way to the doctor we were really nervous because we were not sure what we would see on the ultrasound. As soon as the ultrasound started we immediately saw our baby - kicking and moving all over the place. We couldn't believe it! We didn't know what to think at that moment since we were still wondering what caused all the complications? What did this mean for the baby? At the end of the ultrasound my doctor came in and told me I had an implantation bleed. As we understand it, it means that when the egg attached itself to the wall that bleeding can occur at that time. Most women experience spotting in the first two weeks. Mine was behind the uterus so it didn't happen until now. At the moment I'm on temporary bed rest until the end of the week and I'm supposed to take it easy and be careful for awhile. It doesn't mean we are totally out of the clear, but the doctor said that with most women who experience this the rest of the pregnancy progresses as normal. We are so releaved. Honestly, it feels like a miracle. God is so good. When I saw our baby moving and active on the screen all I could do was pray to God that he would please save our baby. It was simply amazing! Praise be to God! And to show off more ultrasound pictures - here is our miracle baby:

Isn't it amazing! We could see every little finger and toe and the face and body. It was incredible how defined the baby is at 11 weeks! God is good!
