The Ricklefsens

Hello there, Rebecca here..well, a few of my other friends have blogs and I had been holding off on starting a family blog because we lost our first child, precious Ariel Lyn, at 5 months pregnant on Oct. 18, 2007 due to PPROM (see http://www.kanalen.org/prom/ for more info). I feared the same could happen again (30% chance), BUT the good Lord has kept us strong and we have come a long way since then... We are now 25 weeks preggers and are praying for a healthy full term baby! I have been on leave from work since 19 weeks and am focusing on relaxing and making a baby! I am on modified bedrest and am getting weekly progesterone injections which help prevent preterm labor. We are taking it one day at a time, giving thanks, and trusting Him completely along the way. It has been a rough road, but from what I hear..will be worth it!

Here is a pic of our little guy/gal from a 17 wk ultrasound..so cute...foot sticking out and sucking his/her thumb!
