Hello Dottie

Alisha and I have some good news to share: Alisha is 16 weeks pregnant. We didn't let anyone know until this week, because we wanted to make sure that everything was progressing normally. We received great news during her 16-week ultrasound on Wednesday: the baby is measuring normally and all blood tests are looking good.

We found out that the baby is a GIRL (allegedly), so we're planning on naming her "Dottie Monroe". Alisha will have follow-up appointments with the specialist every 2 weeks until they no longer consider her high-risk (which might be never).

God has been answering many prayers so far, with hopefully more to come. We wanted to especially give thanks that he has answered prayers for physical healing through the help of acupuncture and natural medicine at Vitality Primary Care. The help we've gotten from Barbara Ferrero has helped Alisha avoid taking blood-thinning medication (Lovenox), yet still avoid blood clots that made Roscoe's placenta malformed, which caused his growth issues.
