That's right we are having a girl!! Craig was so thrilled to have a little girl. I on the other hand I am so nervous. I am not good at cute and frilly. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Marie Self. Elizabeth was my Meemaw’s name that passed away when Noah was four months old. Marie is my middle name. My mom named me Marie after our pastor’s wife Marie Absher. I know I am naming Lizzie after the two Godliest women I could imagine!
Noah is coming around to the baby sister idea. I do not think he will fully understand until she makes her appearance!
This pregnancy has not been the most ideal pregnancy. At my 28 weeks visit Lizzie was not moving like she should be. I immediately had an ultra sound and was sent to a specialist. The ultrasound tech at the specialist said everything was fine and I could go home. So I leave and as soon as I get in the hallway the doctor chases me out the door and yells "Hey come back! You have to come back next week." Well I am now on weekly visits to the specialist because her movement is low, and she is in the third percentile on the growth chart. So the point of the weekly visits is checking her blood flow and movement to make sure that she is still hanging in there. ALSO, He put me on limited bed rest! That is the hardest part of all of it!!!! I know that I cannot worry about every little thing because it will only stress me, which will stress the baby. It also is not fair to Noah so I am trying my very best to still keep his life going normally. I am 31 weeks now and only because everyone has said so many prayers for our baby girl she is doing great as of now! Please keep us in your prayers.
