Heartbeat

Today was my pregnancy check up appointment with my midwife. Everything was allright, my blood pressure was 98/58, kinda low, but it has always been like that in my prior pregnancies.

I had also the first doctor appointment when they check you out down there, everything was fine and my utherus has grown meaning there is something growing inside♡

Afterwards we checked if we could find the heartbeat, she said it could be difficult to find it this early at 10-11 weeks, but we found it, the best sound in the whole world...hearing that beat of this small life living inside you is indescribable...I cried and cried...and I cry everytime I remember that sound♡

I am now a bit more relieved after hearing the baby's heart, but I will be even more relieved after we get to see our baby this coming Monday (13.10) when we go to the first ultrasound at the hospital.

I am counting and counting the hours so it is Monday,  I am just praying that everything is okay with the baby, that everythibg looks healthy and growing like it is meant to.

A few of my favourite verses from the bible...

“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.  So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there. (1 Samuel 1:27–28)

"As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things" (Ecclesiastes 11:5)

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.  Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  (Psalm 139:13-16)

For my baby...

Big news

I guess some of you already knew or guess... I am that type of person who can not wait! :D

So yes, we are expecting baby #3.

We somewhere around 9 to 10 weeks, we haven't been to the first ultrasound yet so then we will be able to tell exactly how many weeks along I am.

I know many of you wait to tell the news after the first trimester has gone, but I just felt like to tell, plus I have been so bloated and already showing ( yes showing! It's baby #3 you know!) that I prefer that you know that I am pregnant and not just fat.

I know also that every pregnancy is risky and many of them can end in natural miscarriage until week 20/22 so yeah, I'm taking the risk.

I am praying for it to be a healthy pregnancy with a healthy baby in the end.

And as this being baby#3 after having two boys, I would not like to hear: I hope you get the girl this time or It will be a boy again. Let me tell you I have heard everything and I know!

I know the chances are high that It will be a boy again! And so what? I know I would love a girl this time but if it comes another boy I'd be happy as well, in fact we have already his name chosen.

So please be happy for us, because we are happy!  The older brothers are happy and that's what matters!

Oh and for your information!  I know I have heard from many people, always when baby#3 or #4 is coming, it's always thought to be a "mistake" I know mistakes can happen. But in our case, it wasn't!

This baby has been planned and loved from the very first time♡ just like its big brothers!

I thank God every day for the life that is growing inside of me and I leave everything in His Hands, because He knows whats best for us and His plans are perfect!

One year ago...

This is irritating, how do you keep up with your blog?

I am updating mine after one year!

And this year has gone so fast!

A few of the highlights this 2014 were:

- I am officially a Finnish Citizen! I have my Finnish passport! I feel proud I passed the language test and that Finland accepted me as one of its people.
- My mom came from Peru to visit us this summer, she's helped me a lot in watching after my boys during work.

- My oldest boy started preschool!  And the youngest, turned 4 on July and also started daycare. They both go from M-F only 4 hours a day.

- Work, work, work was very busy summer with a lot of work, thankfully we got a great person who helped us so much!

- I have another amazing news but I'll let you know about it later on.

Well, that's it, nothing else to report!

Today was the first cold day in this autumn, 0 degrees! Time to get the wool underpants on!

See you guys later!
