14 weeks and counting!

I am now 14 weeks pregnant as of yesterday! Its been exciting and challenging! But today marks the day I got to hear the heartbeat. Its funny how that small fast little thud can send you to tears. Your whole life changes in that minute that you are just listening. And to make it all that much better the baby moved so we could hear it better. The dr said it was about 160 and was impressed. This now puts my miscarriage rate to less then 1%. Unfortunately it never goes to 0 but we are down as low as we can get. It sunk in then that this is really happening. We are really going to have a baby! We are still stuck on not finding out the gender of the baby. I want it to be a surprise and I want people to be able to guess and have it be a fun game. I am thankful for all of those in my life who I get to share this miracle with. Thank you everyone for your love and support! My baby is doing great and that makes everything wonderful!

New addtion!

So the Reiher family is growing! I am currently 12 1/2 week pregnant! The dr says everything looks really good! The baby is active and the heart beat is very healthy! I am due April 12, 2012! We are very excited and grateful for this blessing! We are also excited that our baby will come just 6 months after Craigs brothers baby! They will be able to play together! We have however decided that we arent going to find out the sex of the baby until its born! Some may say we are crazy but I think it will add to the suspense when it comes time to have the baby! My due date is my father in law Jeff's birthday! So Happy Birthday Grandpa! It has been a rough road for us. With the two miscarriages we were wondering if we were even supposed to have more. But the Lord kept telling us to be patient and we will be rewarded. It has been a scary road with the pregnancy for the simple fact that we didnt want to get attached and have things not work out. But every time we had a test or ultrasound and everything came back good we got more and more excited! Now that we are passed the "danger zone" so to speak we are beyond excited! We are looking forward to all of the fun and challenging things this pregnancy will bring! I have been sick a lot but grateful for that because it means the baby is in there and is growing the way it should! I will be sick every day until delivery if it means I get to bring a healthy baby home. People will ask what I think the sex of the baby is..... I think its a girl..... Craig is guessing a boy.... So one is right! hahaha But Elliana wants a girl and Ethan wants a boy! But they both say they are happy to just have a baby in the family! :) I want to thank all of those that have supported me and my family and have been there for good news and bad in the last year! We love you all and are glad you are in our lives!
