Trials and Blessings

Wow, what a week. I think it has been one of the most emotional in awhile. Some of you know about our news that we recieved this week and some of you don't, so here goes... On Wed. the 9th we were told that our little baby has choroid plexus cysts on her brain. Now everything else is very healthy and there are no other abnormalities. This is leading the doctors to an optimistic outcome, that they will go away before she is born. However there are some slight posibilities that are really not so great, so we are going to try and stick to the positive side of things and keep praying that they will heal themselves and go away. There are a few tests that can be done now, but one won't give us a yes or no answer, and the other is too risky and could cause me to go into labor now, which is way too early. So we are stuck playing the waiting game for the next 7 1/2 weeks! We will find out for sure if they have gone away or what any other outcome will be on November 2nd. I think the worst part about all of this is the wait! So if you would all Please keep our little baby girl in your prayers we would really appriciate it. Thank you.
So with this trial our Heavenly Father has reminded me so much of what I am grateful for. And it is only been a 4 days since we found out, I can't imagine all of the things we are suppose to learn from this. I am so thankful for and blessed with such a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter. Even though Brooklyn is only 21 months old she can tell that her mommy has been in need of comfort. Out of the blue she will come up and give me a hug, brush my hair out of my face and give me a kiss. She is such an amazing little girl, full of energy and love. And my poor husband who has had to put up with the emotions of a pregnant lady but now has an even more paranoid and incredibly emotional pregnant lady. He has been absolutly wonderful. I have been slacking with housework and he hasn't complained once. He has calmly just done it all. Yes, ALL! I just want everyone to know how much I love them both! They have both tried extra hard this week to put a smile on my face and wipe away the tears. I am so grateful!
Last night Brooklyn and Daddy put a show on for me to partially wear out Brooklyn for bed and mostly to make me laugh. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. (You may want to turn down the volume for the second video, she screams pretty loud.)
