Help!! My mom is posting my nude photo!

That's a title that has to grab you - especially from a Relief Society President. Yes, its true, I'm exploiting my child - even before she is born - and showing her nude!!! Did you catch that? The radiologist told us she's 98% positive that we are having a GIRL!!!!! We are seeing pink!! MY HEART HASN'T STOPPED RACING FOR 24 HOURS.

When I was told we were having a girl, I immediately began crying. Not have tears extracted from my eyes kind of cry. We are talking shaking, heaving cries in front of complete strangers to the point that the sonogrammer was having difficulty keeping the instrument on my belly. I am shaking and crying as we speak to even type these words! I feel so grateful that we are having a daughter. I wish I could express myself in writing as well as my in-laws are able to because my emotion is much greater than my words. I have been telling myself over and over that I will be happy with anything but the honest truth is that I have felt connected to a daughter for awhile now. I feel that she has helped me through many trials I have had to recently face. So I hope that "98% positive" is right because I really don't think we are having any more babies after this little love. Cheryl, I will take that girl gift back you gave me a few weeks ago that I was too scared to accept.

So that is our wonderful and exciting news. Unfortunately, we also received news that has been very concerning. At the end of the first trimester hematomas have usually shrunk and resorbed back into the body. Sometimes they may take up to twenty weeks of pregnancy to resorb. Currently, I am twelve weeks. When my sonogram was taken to check on the status of our baby and that of the hematoma, we learned that my hematoma has actually grown. This means that the bleed is still active rather than being "old blood" that is working its way toward resorption. Thus we are still at risk for losing our baby. To complicate matters, my perinatologist no longer feels that I can continue my pregnancy without going on blood thinners. He feels that I have a life-threatening risk and I must begin heparin. Heparin will help to keep me from developing another clot, but it may also cause the hematoma to begin hemorrhaging. If I hemorrhage, the baby could be aborted. This is such a two-edged sword and its extremely difficult for me to do something to myself that I know can harm my baby. Please keep us in your prayers and ask that the problem of my hematoma will end soon. I have faith in our Heavenly Father and believe this is all in His mighty hands. I also believe that prayers will help to bring comfort, solace and healing when He deems it necessary.
