Well, we thought we had peace about being done after MG. There were some problems with my uterous after she was born and we were told we shouldn't have anymore. We prayed and prayed and finally we had peace. Bob scheduled surgery and all was well. Then we found out I was pregnant. Lesson learned, God is definately bigger than we are.
So we go through the pregnancy and find out its a girl...yay! MaKinly Mio is her name...nickname is MnM :-). A week before my scheduled c-section I got hit by a car. It was strange because it took me a few minutes for it to sink in. I was walking, she was backing out. I went for a nonstress test and a sono. Guess what...our girl became a BOY! It was a shock and it was the first time I had bought a pink carseat lol.
The day of the c-section came and it was great...MJ (17dd) and my best friend went in with RP (dh) and I. Out came baby boy :-) It is the first time we did not have a name before birth of a baby. We then started looking up Bibical names and my best friend found Joash. Now Joash is in the bible a couple times. I am going with the namesake of Joash being Gideon's father...not the 2 Kings namesake :-) His name means "given by God"...I love that, we were done and God gave him to us...how perfect!!
He is such a blessing! He didn't nurse very well the first month of his life and lost weight. We had to suppliment most feedings. JB is now 10lbs 5.5oz, so I am on Reglan and hopefully will be able to start nursing more again. God is so good to us!
OHHH, I forgot to mention...God totally healed my uterous! With MG it was pulling away from the stitches cause it was so thin. Well, even with as big as JB was, my uterous was in great condition! God totally healed it! I asked him to either heal it or make it so bad I needed a hysterectomy and He chose healing! Yay God!
