Ultrasound Results!

[benshelpmeet]

Hello Ladies,

Here is an update...Last Thursday Oct 15th I had my ultrasound and he did not find twins. Which we were all hoping for...We know the Lord knows all things and His will is best, we rest in Him and are happy.

He asked us what we thought the baby might be. Ben said a girl, because Darlene always gets very sick with her girl pregnancies. He said your right... ''It's a girl!'' ;D How neat 7 girls! It's great having alot of one sex whether all boys or all girls. It's a blessing watching them all play together and interact. On the other hand we have two boys one in the beginning and one in the end that have to be raised without a brother to relate to. But they love their sisters and are more understanding about girls and more sensitive to girls. That is a plus.

[glow=red,2,300]It's a healthy baby girl! [/glow]

The doctor says she is healthy and everything looks good. Praise the Lord!

He says I'm measuring a week or two further along. ;D Yippee!

For years before I got pregnant my periods started coming every three weeks instead of every 4 weeks. This makes sense. I do not mind being due a week or two early.

Mama wants to hold her baby. We all do! She is already so special to us all.

We think (but are not sure yet) we will name her [glow=red,2,300]'' Melody Joy ''[/glow]

I am still sick...not as sick, I'm dizzy, I have other pregnancy related problems. Thank you for your continued prayers...Pragnancy has never been easy for me. The Doctor said I should not have more after my 4th...but thats Gods business not mine, 6 pregnancies later the Lords grace and healing is sufficient, I put my trust in the might God who can do all things. I am so very thankful to be carrying another child.

Please pray I can find girl material for a good price, we want to make some little girl things for her. I am in need of new born, to three months, (and beyond...) dress patterns. Anyone have any to copy and share? Also I'm trying to find thick new born cable knit type knee highs for her,... 8 years ago I could find them at the store, but now I can't.


Does anyone have any name suggestions?

Love, ~ sister Darlene ~

Dearest Sister Darlene, Did I ever tell you that is my mothers name btw....Ok, I am so excited for you. 7 GIRLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I ask for your address??/I would really like to send the baby a little something.

God Bless You, Vanessa

Seven Girls...wow...How blessed you are!! I got my tubes tied after my third girl. I regret it. I listen to man instead of God. I had always felt that I should not take birth control because God knows what He is doing. But I let people beat me down and I gave in to what everyone else thought was good for my life. BIG MISTAKE, but I think I have learned my lesson. When is the due date?

Dear sister Vanessa,

That's neat that your mother name is Darlene! I haven't met but a handful of people with my name in my whole life. I think it's an old fashioned name. I know the Micky Mouse Club when I was a child had a Darlene on that program. ;D

My address is...

Darlene Smith
Po Box 100792
Nashville Tn, 37224

That is so sweet of you ... I'm excited!


Dear sister Rena Kay,

That is so sad what you went through, I know alot of ladies that tied their tubes against there own conscious, because of the ungodly pressure, and counsel of others.

I am going through, and have gone through rejection, and unkind words, and pressure from my mother, and grandmother (not her mother ), and even people I thought were my friends.

I have not told my mother, and grandmother that I'm even pregnant, we haven't told Ben's brothers. We have no support from relatives at all. It is extremely hard on me. I think I will drop the bomb on them 6 weeks after our precious baby arrives, that way my hormones will be settled, at least I hope so. That way they wont be able to say there worried about my health. They never are concerned about my health any other time. I think they are secular minded, with a godless, humanistic view. They both claim to be christians.

Oh Well...

We love the baby.

May the Lord bless you dear sisters.

Love, ~ sister Darlene ~

My mother was pretty supportive, but my dad was worried about me. My husband is 17 years older than me and my dad was afraid of me having a large family and maybe having to raise them alone down the line, but my hubby just turned fifty and is as healthy has a horse. My older brother had also talked with me. I told him that when I asked him to raise one of my kids then he could talk to me about how many to have....I was told by others that I was cruel for having the ones I have so close together. I love them being close together. They have alot in common. They sing together beautifully. Our last name is McGuire and everyone calls them the McGuire sisters. Maybe I can do some recordings and post them. I am thankful, just wish I had been wiser.

Congratulations! How fun to be having another little girl! We were for sure to be having a girl and ended up with a boy We had 2 names picked out, either Kezia Grace or Mary Faith. I like Sarah Grace as well, but Billy likes the less common names better.

[Sister Penny]

Dear Sister Darlene,
I am rejoicing with you and Brother Ben & your family!!!! 7 girls!! This is truly another blessing from Him :-)

Girl Names, I am like you I prefer the Old Fashioned names, I have both of my girls named Biblical names: Elizabeth & Raechel, (the spelling of Raechel is different as she was supposed to be Victoria Rae).

I love the names and these too...Keturah, Grace, Faith, Sibbohan, Victoria, to just name a few :-)

God bless you during these final weeks of your pregnancy! Do you want just dress patterns or little girl jumper dress patterns?? Email me privately as I don't always check the boards ok?

Love,
Sister Penny

Dear Rena Kay,

Family can be cruel and nosey. We can't worry about the future. Easier said than done sometimes. My husband suffers severely with crippling arthritis and it is painful for me to watch him grow worse and I do worry about his health and the future, but I have to just give it to God. We live our lives like everything is normal and just trust God. It's amazing to us all how the Lord provides and we get through life, happy, blessed, and with much joy.

Blessings to you and your precious family!


Dear Lisa,

How have you been? I sure have missed you. You should call or write me.

''Melody Ruth'' keeps coming in my mind but I already have a ''Katy Ruth''. ;D Maybe I'll use it again. We might choose a different name all together but we do like ''Melody Joy'' alot.

I am so excited about the patterns. We want to sew for her real bad, the only hang up is finding little girl cloth. Our Wal Mart does not have any little floral cloth.

Thank You.


Dear Naomi,

A boy would be a special blessing too. Caleb sure wants a brother...do you blame him. ;D ;D 7 sisters! ;D

Good to see your smiling face. I hope you got all moved in and settled.


Dear Penny,

Thank you for the name suggestions!

I will e- mail you soon.

I'm praying for your feet dear sister.
