Today we had the excitement of going in for a detailed ultrasound of the new baby. It was confirmed that we have another GIRL entering our family :)
The ultrasound went really well. Baby girl looks really healthy so far! The doctor seems really optimistic that the baby does not have the same symptoms as Eleanor. He thinks at this point the risk for the baby is really low.
She was moving a round quite a bit and we saw the mouth open and close a couple of times. We also saw her stomach which showed she has been swallowing. That was the most exciting part for me and Adam. We also saw the ankles which look really normal, as opposed to Ellie's "foot drop" which requires her to wear special foot braces.
The only thing to report was a very slight enlargement near her kidneys but it could be a result of an underdeveloped ureter system or something like that that a lot of babies have at this gestation. Doc was not too concerned, and I'm thinking it is one of those things that make people worry that really don't mean anything. We will pray for that issue to resolve.
Thank you for all of your prayers and encouraging comments so far. It really feels great to have the support of our family and friends. We put our trust in the Lord and in his goodness. We are so happy for the gift of another baby girl. We will keep updating as we learn more :)

ReplyDeleteYou guys, we are Sooooooooo excited, and we praise God for this precious gift He has planted beneath your heart. We're praying that she continues to grow strong and healthy over the next several months until we can finally kiss those rosy cheeks and hear that lusty cry <3 We love all SIX of you so very much!

ReplyDeleteSo happy for you!! I'm so encouraged by your faithfulness and acceptance of God's perfect will for your lives! Love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHooray! Another princess! I'll be continuing to pray throughout your pregnancy. Two of my babies have had that enlargement, one did have an issue that was corrected after birth but the other turned to be nothing... praying for nothing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you! So happy to hear the good news of another baby coming. So happy to hear it's another girl, too. I still think of you often and Ethan and Seth pray for Ellie in their prayers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You continue to be in our prayers daily!

I don’t mean to be too in your face, but I’m not sure I agree with this. Anyhow, thanks for sharing and I think I’ll come to this blog more often…. By the way, I found the post searching for Family . Not bad!
