Todays Doctor's Appt, 10 Weeks

Today I had another appointment and ultrasound. I went back to my regular OBGYN today, Dr. Conrad. Let me just say, I LOVE that man! He's a great doctor!!! I know that I have been in good hands with Dr. Harper, but it feels really good to be back under Dr. Conrad's care. Anyway, today's report was good again! Our little bun is still awful little but is measuring exactly as he/she should be! Actually the specific measurement is 2.65 cm which if I'm correct is just over an inch. We could see good fetal movement and good development of the baby's arms and legs. Baby's heart rate was 172 bpm.

Today I had a little bit of a wait which is common with Dr. Conrad, but I don't mind. He's worth the wait. The wait wasn't bad especially considering I think that my appointment was a work-in. I also don't mind the wait, because it gives me some time to myself and time to read.

While in the waiting room, I noticed a young lady and something about her stood out to me. I didn't really give it much thought. I just noticed her and went back to my book. I sometimes fail to remember or realize that I should take notice to those little kind of moments. In retrospect, I think that I noticed her because of a prompting of the Holy Spirit.

After I had completed my appointment and was on my way out of the office, Dr. Conrad came out and caught me. He asked me if I had a minute to speak to a young lady who had just lost a second baby through miscarriage. Of course, I said yes, but I was thinking what should I say to this person. He led me back to the room where the young lady I had noticed in the waiting room was sitting alone crying. Oh, do I ever know her pain. We shared a few minutes together. I hadn't known what I would say, but as I began to speak to her the Holy Spirit gave me the words. I pray now that He used me to provide some measure of comfort to her today. She and I exchanged information before I left. I'm hoping to keep in touch with her and be of some support while she continues to grieve a second difficult loss.

I'm sharing this, because I'm would like to ask for your prayers for her. We will call her "Mrs. R". I know that it was not coincidence that placed Mrs. R and me at the same doctor at the same time. My heart is breaking for her. My second miscarriage sent me spiralling hard! But, I know that God has used that for my good. Today is a prime example of that. I was only able to sit and cry with Mrs. R, because I genuinely share her grief.

Also would you do me a favor? Mrs. R shared she doesn't really feel like she has a lot of people to talk with right now as she is walking this dark road. She and I exchanged information, and I also shared this blog with her so that she might go back and read through some of our experiences. So she might just be reading here. I know that several of my family members and good friends drop by here from time to time. I know that I would not have made it through my dark times without the love and support of family and friends. You all have been His hands and feet in my life. Would you please leave a comment to this post offering your prayers and encouragement to Mrs. R. Will you be His hands and feet to her? If you would like to do something more private, you can send me an email and I can forward it to her. Mrs. R. if you are reading here know that I am praying for you and now several others are also.
