Small Successes #18 - Gratiae ut Deus Nov 19, 2009, 10:55 am
"It's important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that."1. On Monday we found out two very good things. The first is that we are having a very healthy baby BOY :). And the second was that my placenta previa condition is not as bad as was first suspected.

After two separate ultra-sounds that lasted close to two hours the doctor felt 99.9% positive that we are not facing an accreta or percreta placenta. I do still have a complete placenta previa with it's complications and this condition will not change from here on out. According to the doctor, if it was going to move it would have done so already. Even though I a

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in you with your saints forever.

We have started up our nightly family read alouds again. It got pushed to the side during the summer months. It was light out in the evening and we as a family naturally spent that time out of doors doing things.

The baby looked great and is growing wonderfully well, but we could not get a definite on if the baby is a boy or girl. The cord was right between the legs. One minute the tech thought she saw gir

"Just Do It" is one of my favorite inspirational quotes, lol.
