My #Pregnancy Adventure - 3rd Trimester

Hey All -
The first trimester is over. I also survived the second trimester and I am into my third! This adventure has been taxing. However; I am beginning to relax and feel more at ease with my pregnancy. It seems like everyday I have a new sensation or symptom that I have to figure out. I am very excited to meet my baby girl, Reagan, as is her daddy!

Just a quick update: 

This week we had blood drawn to test for Marfan Syndrome and other similar disorders. I am extremely anxious for the results. It is my hope that these tests come out negative and that my pregnancy will lose its high-risk status. However; if the test is positive we have prepared ourselves for a high-risk delivery and pray that the Lord keeps both Reagan and myself safe during these last 10 - 12 weeks. 

This week we found out that both my growth and the baby's is a bit ahead of schedule. As of now they have not changed any dates and Reagan looks healthy! Praise the Lord. 

Another answer to prayer is that my placenta is no longer previa. This means that if the genetic work comes back clear I will get to have a natural birth! 

Here are our latest pictures of Reagan, they are a bit blurry but I thought I would share them with you all.

Well her foot is upside down but I cannot get it to straighten out! LOL! Thank You to everyone that has been praying for my family. Please continue to pray - I promise I will keep everybody updated on Reagan's status. Our big prayer request this week is a negative genetic test if it is the Lord's will!
