Thank you for all of your prayers for each of our little babies. Tomorrow I go in for a Level 2 U/S. I will be 17 weeks and a few days along. My Dh will be on TDY and two of my friends will accompany me. I am asking for prayers that our baby is free from any complications and that we receive hopeful news of going to term. As you know and have prayed for, We've delivered at 14, 16, and 18 weeks. I am feeling a little movement at night, so I am hopeful. I have felt like if I make it this far and the Dr's don't see a reason to be concerned tomorrow, maybe we'll make it to full term..
** Today I am filled with emotions... God has asked us again to go through many trials with this little baby boy...Our little baby has a heart defect in the right atrium that most likely the prognosis is fatal at some point due to heart failure. The right atrium is enlarged causing the heart to work harder and blood is not going through the valve with ease ( she said the valve is almost sticking causing blood back up) Right now the baby's heart is flowing across to the Left side which is normal and she said it is doing it without any turbulence. Also, she said that the baby is more than likely has down syndrome based on measurements in the baby's fingers (she specifically said the pinky finger) She said an amnio would answer that and I said "no, the baby is Who God sent to us, I don't need to confirm that." More than likely, without a miracle, this baby will live for a while longer then have heart failure. IF I make it further along, I may be referred to a Prenatal Cardiologist to talk about options of helping this little guy,.
I am still hopeful, the baby seemed stronger than the others and even measured a week further along. this is God's baby and God chose John and Me to be this little baby's parents. I am asking you to pray for a miracle for this little boy's heart. I think right now, this HAS to come from above. Even the Dr was crying with the news. She and the Tech hugged me as I stood up from the table. My two friends were able to be in the room with me for the ultrasound and I came home with some beautiful pictures. When the Dr came in though, they had to step out.
Please ask God for HIs Will for this baby and for John and Me to be covered in grace throughout this time. Thank you for your continued prayers.
I just posted three beautiful pictures of this little guy on God's Canvas. The third picture shows the enlarged heart.
**4/18**Thank you all so much for your open arms for our little boy. I am humbled that all of you are praying for someone you've never met. This little boy seemed so strong on the ultrasound and looked so beautiful on the 4-D screen. I posted a picture on my blog to show everyone this beautiful little boy God sent us.
My oldest is upset, almost angry... "Why would God send us another baby who might die??" I am trying to calm her of course and remind her that everything is part of God's plan and we don't know why we are going through this again. As a mother, I am heartbroken at the thought of delivering another stillborn, but God doesn't make mistakes and if he choses can heal this little one's heart.
My Husband returned last night and we began talking about his name. We have always trusted in God to tell us the name of each baby he sends and ask God to place this little one's name on our heart. I'll post it as soon as we are sure.
Thank you so everyone who has graciously added the God's Canvas button to your blogs and who have asked for extra prayers for a miracle in your circles. I am humbled again.
I see my High Risk Dr on Monday and I will ask him about what to expect. After that, My next Level II U?S is May 8. I am praying to continue to feel little kicks along the way. Each day we have with him is a blessing.
We have named our little baby boy Matthew Karol Snow. We are praying for the intercession of Pope John Paul II to ask our Lord for a miracle. If this is not part of God's will, we ask Pope John Paul II to hold this little boy when we cannot and take him to Our Lady whom we know He loved so dearly.

Emily - I'll be praying tomorrow! This is so hard without the loving embrace and strong shoulder of your husband...how he must long to be there with you as well.
I'm so overjoyed that you're feeling the little one moving a bit...I'll be praying all day tomorrow!
