Highs and Lows

The High......Early this morning, my dear sweet friend that I've known since childhood, gave birth to a healthy baby boy! Liam was welcomed into this world by one of the most amazing couples I have ever known. Allison and Kent are true soulmates. If you've ever been around them for just a small amount of time, you know what I'm talking about. He is absolutely adorable and I'm so excited about meeting this precious little miracle very soon! Oh, and it is also her birthday today too...can you top that as a birthday present??

 My friend Ashley sent me this picture when she visited today. He's adorable!

The Low...During my first appointment with my doctor, she was concerned with an area on my thyroid. She sent me to have an ultrasound at the hospital. After not hearing anything for a week, I thought that there was nothing to be concerned with...you know, no news is good news. However, that's not the case. On Wednesday, my doctor called to let me know that the scans had shown something. I have two nodules on the right side of my thyroid, both with blood flow. Not being a medical professional, my first thought was "OMG, I'm going to die." But then I chilled out. Stacy (my midwife) is making me an appointment with a surgeon to determine where to go from here. The logical side of me knows that everything is going to be ok but the soon-to-be-mommy inside of me wants to cry whenever I think about it. It's amazing how my concern has already shifted to worrying about my child instead of myself. I ask that you pray for peace of mind for me. I know that the Lord will take care of us...he always has, and always will. Also pray for Will as he deals with my crazy hormonal changes. :) I honestly, couldn't ask for a better husband. I'm so blessed.

Until next time,

Mindy
