Welcome to our site. This is Day 1 of our new blog. Just to get everyone up to speed this is where we stand. As of this coming Sunday ( July 4th ) Hilary will be 17 weeks along. She had a doctors appointment on June 25th where we heard our babys heart beat for the first time. Well we wont be sure of the sex until sometime mid to late July. According to my Aunt Becky if its fast...its a boy. The heart beat sounded fast to me but, the only thing i care about is 10 fingers, 10 toes, and healthy. Hilary also had to do a glucose test. The results came in by email and we found out her sugar levels are high. Because her levels are high she has to go next week and do a 3 hour glucose test. I need everyone to please pray that we get good results. I will post updates about this as soon as new developments come in.
As some of you know by now our first child ( the 4 legged one ) Roxy has been diagnosed with a liver shunt. We wont find out any new information until sometime this week when I talk back to the doctor. We dont know much about it other than its a condition she has had since birth. From what we understand they are formed in the womb and its part of the puppys growth and when they are born it slowly goes away. Hers has not closed up and gone anywhere. Some cases of these have been fixed by diet and surgery is out of the question due to the cost and risks. A typical Surgery can cost between $3000 - $5000 and are not guaranteed to cure it. Our little girl is only 5 and way to young to deal with this. so please pray for her as well.
