Good News Today!

I had a 13-week appointment today.  It went great!!  I was told at my last appt., at 10 weeks, that I had a retroverted uterus and that it needed to move up and forward by Week 13.  If it didn't, my doctor would have to put me under anesthesia and physically move it. 

Well, the great news today was that it moved on its own!!  So, no procedure!  YEA!!!

I also got to hear the heartbeat for the first time, which was amazing.  I recorded it for Sam, since he wasn't with me.  My mom (Grammy) got to hear it, though.

This is proof that God answers prayers!  We have been praying every day that it moved naturally and it DID!

Now, I have to wait 4 weeks to see the doc again, which will be the longest I have had to wait.  But, she did say that I get to be a "normal" pregnant person for now.  That is nice, given my high-risk status.

We are EXPECTING!!!

Sam and I are so excited to officially announce, through our new Sexton Crew Blog, that we are EXPECTING!  We are ecstatic!  This special blessing has been in the making for 4 1/2 years!  We have been through a lot of emotional trials throughout this journey, but our miracle is happening!  This is truly a blessing from God!


I am 12 weeks and 2 days along today.  My due date is October 29th.  We have gotten to see the heartbeat 4 times and it is going strong and our little Sweetpea is growing and growing!  I have another appointment this coming Wednesday, so I will let you know how everything goes.

I will do my best to keep this blog updated, especially after many of my family and friends have requested that I give them continuous updates.  This will be how I do that, for the most part.  I have faith in myself that I can do this!

Until next time...
