Baby Update

Yesterday morning I went in for my Non-Stress Test, and then to see my doctor in the afternoon. The NST went well as usual - his heart looks great. When I went to see my Doctor, she measured me, and I'm measuring between 25 and 25 1/2, which is a good 4 cm smaller than I should be. There is a little bit of growth since last week, but not as much as she wanted. I see the specialist for another ultrasound tomorrow, and based on that we need to start talking about where I'm going to deliver. She really wants to see some significant growth on Friday, or they'll consider giving me steriod shots to help his lungs develop, and probably deliver me early, which means I'll deliver over where I've been seeing the specialist since their nursery there is better equipped for things like this. I'll be 30 weeks on Sunday. We'll know more on Friday after the ultrasound.

Shiloh is MORE than welcome to come anytime and play in our snow. How are you doing? I bet you're about ready to pull your hair out. I was trying to imagine what on earth I'd do each day in bed, and it makes my head spin with frustration. We have lots of people here praying for you guys and for your sweet baby. I'm anxious to hear about the ultrasound on Friday. I know Auntie Sue and Auntie Bethany are excited to help you guys out with Shiloh for awhile. I'm sure it's hard for you to have to depend on so many people. But remember how much everybody cares about you guys! Wish we were there so I could help! Have a great afternoon!

Thank you for the update--we look forward to hearing about the ultrasound. We are praying for you! Victoria is sad that Shiloh is going to miss her party--maybe we can come take Shiloh for a play date one day :)

I will be eagerly awaiting to hear the results of the ultrasound! I am praying for you and your sweet family and am so glad to know everything is going according to God's plan...even though I can't imagine how frustrating bed rest must be at times! We are doing great and would love to help if there is anything we can do. Thanks for the update!
