Exciting News!We had the 16 week ultra sound today. The baby was moving all over the place. The nurse was laughing because Baby Schenk would not sit still for her to take pictures and measure. The legs and arms were constantly busy moving around. Baby Schenk was all over the place in some of the most uncomfortable positions I have ever seen and of course would not allow us to get a look to find out if it was a boy or a girl.
Prayerful News!
Troy and I went to the doctors this morning for the 16 Week check up and to see how my cyst was doing which is really the reason for the continuous ultrasounds. Hoping the the cyst is a functional cyst and it will begin to shrink like it is suppose too. Unfortunately, for us this was not the case. We meet with the doctor who gave us our option to have surgery or not. The whole thing gets rather complicated. It turns out that the cyst does not want to go away and in this situation it is best to have the surgery now. It becomes harder if we wait and it could rupture or twist during the third trimester. Which can lead into large amounts of pain that can cause me to go into labor, way to early or even miscarriage. Because the cyst is considered a growth because it does nothing but grow in my ovary they would actually have to take out my right ovary that contains the cyst. They would then test the cyst once it has been removed for any cancer cells.
After meet with my doctors this morning we then were sent to Aultman Hospital to meet with a hi-risk pregnancy doctor that would be doing the surgery to see what he thought and get his full opinion of what we should do. He does not believe we should wait because it would only cause more harm later. One of those things where as a doctors he can not tell me 100% that everything will be fine. We just have to decide what we think is best and pray, pray, pray from there. So, after much consideration and listening to the concerns of the doctor if we do not do this, Troy and I decided to do the surgery. My surgery will be sometime next week. We will keep you posted!
Prayers:
1)That they baby remains safe and unharmed.
2)That we will be able to have kids in the future.
3)That the surgery goes will with no complications.

Candace, I'm praying for you. Saw your status on facebook and then noticed your website link. May God guide the doctors and cover you and your precious baby with His protective hand.
The ultrasounds are so cool - you're going to have a little thumb sucker! :)
