Upcoming Ultrasound

Please lift us in prayer this week. Please pay for peace and good news that Baby #3 is healthy and "normal." It is less than a week until our "routine" 20-week ultrasound and I am growing quite nervous and terrified! I dream about it. I wake up in the night thinking about it. I don't think I'm even going to be able to open my eyes until they say all is well. I think I'll be clenching Andy's hand tightly, biting my lip and crying. We'll have our ultrasound in Iowa City. The actual ultrasound is Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 3pm. I think about it a lot--all the what if's. I pray all this worry is for nothing, that we get the news of a normal and boring pregnancy. I've started to get a sinking feeling again. I feel like I am carrying very differently this time. It doesn't look right to me. I also haven't felt much (if any) movement yet. However, with Will I didn't feel movement until 22 weeks. With Sylvia, it was much sooner, but that is probably because she had a swimming pool to flip around in with all that extra amniotic fluid. Anyhow, wanted to check in this week, but am having trouble concentrating so this is gonna be short. Also saw "Wicked" last weekend. It was AWESOME! There was a song that reminded me of Syliva. It went something like "They say people come into our lives for a reason...I'm better/good because I knew you." Sylvia made me a better person. Will says hi to you all! He told me to tell you.
