Woe is Me

Finally back to the blog. Been a busy week, my knee is still not great, I have to take stairs 1 step at a time and my flu has left me with a chesty cough. In comparison to our last few weeks and the reason for this blog it’s been a walk in the park!

While our friends were praying for us a few weeks back they both had a picture of a girl with flowers in her hair and as one of these friends is very talented with a brush we now have a great painting which will soon be our wall. I can’t wait to see our baby girl in a few years to make a comparison!!

“High degree of mental sub normality, paralysis of the lower limbs and lower trunk, incontinence, half die within 5 years of life and only a minority are free from a major handicap.”

The same day we found our about our bays spina bifida I knew the importance for us of not typing it into Google to see what it means. We would wait for the doctors to tell us facts before we jumped to conclusions, I think I said probabilities and Possibilities earlier? After 4 or 5 days and after our second scan we decided to read one article in one book ‘The Encyclopaedia of Pregnancy and Birth’, a seemingly safe source which gave us the description above. God has been answering our prayers from day one. In that we have no doubt.

Here is one of the latest 4D scans (the 4th being time so strictly speaking this is 3D). We call this Picture ‘Woe is Me’. This pretty girl is going to have a portfolio before she’s even born!

Of course a huge thank you to all the cards, phone calls, letters, art work, etc. We have such great friends and family. Thank you.
