On Thursday I got to see the little bitty baby and a little flicker of a heartbeat on the ultrasound screen! =) Babies are such a miracle!!! They were also able to see the "mass" in question and have determined that it is "stable" and "nothing to be concerned with now". My doctor told me if they ever "went into my belly" for any reason, it could be easily removed, but they see no reason to do so now. So, 6 weeks ago I thought I was definitely going to have some type of surgery...now I know that we are going to have a baby instead!! What a turn of events...in a very good direction!
I have been feeling horrible. Absolutely horrible. I really can't remember if I have ever felt this horrible. I am pretty sure this is how I felt with Lizzy. I have also been feeling a little blue. I would sure appreciate your prayers!! I am so glad that this is Brent's break from school...he still is working...but without school and school work he is around a lot more. Good timing!!!
Brent had a great 2nd year of school...24 more hours under his belt...48 or so to go!! He works very hard and has such a servant heart to us all here too. We're proud of you honey!! And we're glad that your home a lot more this summer!!

A Really Special Gift
So, for the thoughts of being "doctor free", it turns out I will be visiting my OBGYN regularly considering we are expecting our FIFTH BABY!!! We are totally surprised and TOTALLY excited!! I guess when I visit with my OBGYN tomorrow, we will have more than one thing to discuss!! Praise God for the gift if life! We surely would appreciate your prayers! I really can't believe I am going to be "Mama to Five"!

"Running Aground" Update
I met with my urologist on Tuesday, (nothing like waiting a month to know what is going to happen!) and he said that my IVP looked completely, 100%, totally NORMAL. He said they couldn't even see the ureteroceles. Apparently with this specific of test they should have been able to. As for the "masses" on my bladder, they couldn't be seen either. His conclusion? No surgery needed at this time. Praise the Lord!! I am so thankful for that!! After having the cystoscopy the last time we met, he hadn't made surgery sound optional.
He did tell me that a trip to my OBGYN is not optional though. He wants me to have another ultrasound and follow up according to what this doctor says. It is possible that if they still see these "masses" that my OBGYN may want to biopsy or further evaluate, but that from a urological perspective there is nothing that he would do. And he said, "That is good news." He obviously felt the IVP would show something that it did not, so for that I am grateful! Just one more round of tests, a different doctor, a little more waiting, and hopefully I will be "doctor free" for awhile.
THANK YOU FOR PRAYING!! God is faithful and because of His faithfulness I am hanging in there baby!!
