Baby Update

Well, we still don't know anything more!

The ultrasound today went well, considering. My fluid levels are in the same range as they were the last two times. They have not really increased much. So that is good news. I really wish they would start to decrease, but I'll take what I can get.

The baby's stomach bubble is still about the same size as it has been. It has not grown significantly, but it is still present. So that is good news. I really wish it would just get bigger, but I'll take what I can get with that too.

There were some other positives to the appointment. Baby was very active and the doctor said he is not concerned at all about movement. Of course we are not sure if this means anything or not, as we have no way to objectively know how much Ellie was moving in the womb, but I can tell you she moved less than this baby. He also saw her practicing her breathing. The doctor said that if he had been doing a biophysical profile of the baby (checking her health), she would have passed 8 out of 8 markers (movement, oxygen levels, tone, etc). So that was pleasing news to us.

So, we keep on praying and being patient. Please continue to pray for God's mercy on our family and a healthy blessing.

  7. I was praying for you this morning...for God's great mercy to bring a healthy child into your lovely family.

    I'm enjoying getting to know Noah in Sunday School. He seems to be opening up more and more.
