Quick update on Avery

Here is just a quick update on our most recent appointment.  During our last dr. visit, we had our normal sonogram to make sure the baby still had a heart beat.  The sonogram tech is so amazing.  She wanted to confirm that she had given up a correct prediction of the sex of the baby during the last appointment.  So she spent a little extra time looking around to see if she was correct.  By the way she was:  IT'S A GIRL!!!!   During our last ultrasound, the same tech had told us the fetal hydrops and hydroma was measuring about 4 cm.  To her and our surprise, during this scan, the fetal hydrops we all gone in the heart, lungs and the belly!  All three of us were shocked.  To asked the other tech to give us a second sonogram to make sure she was right about it being a girl, and to look at the hydrops again.  The second tech actually worked with our specialist for many years and has a great idea at what she was seeing.  She confirmed that their was no fluid in the heart, lungs and just a drop in the belly.  She also said the hydroma on the head was only measuring about 1 cm to 1.5 cm.  There are a few explanations for the smaller hydroma, but the hydrops were are a miracle.  We go back to the specialist this week to find out more information.  We are hopeful and know that the Lord is answering our prayers!

So here SHE is (sucking her thumb):  Miss. Avery Grayce Spears.

This all brings back so many memories for me. My Avery was ALWAYS sucking her thumb too, hands by her face, and always moving! They thought she was a girl too, but had to check again, because they couldn't be sure. Funny how things connect! I am so thankful that things are getting better. God is great- keep the faith!
