First Ultrasound for Baby!

Yesterday I went in for my first ultrasound for this pregnancy! You can barely see our little baby ( just two - three inches long so far!)

10 weeks 3 days

      As you can see (or maybe not) there is only ONE baby growing (yay!)...... unfortunately, it isn't the ONLY thing growing inside my tummy...
       During the ultrasound, my doctor found that along with a healthy growing baby, I also have a Fibroid Tumor growing in my uterus.
       A Fibroid is a "leiomyoma tumor" that originates from the uterus. Fibroids are fairly common (more common in women 35- 45 yrs old- ouch! I'm only 25!) But it's NOT good to have one while you're pregnant. Having a Fibroid while you're pregnant can cause many complications including: miscarriage, bleeding, premature labor, or interference with the position of the fetus...
       It's not easy to hear that there's a problem or that this pregnancy is risky, but Daniel and I have faith and know that Heavenly Father is with us and is blessing us and this baby.
       My next appointment is just 3 weeks away on October 4th. I am grateful that we'll be monitoring this pregnancy and the tumor closely!
