Baby Update

I had another baby check up this week. Things are going good so far. The ultrasound showed that the baby was growing right on for the due date and didn't indicate any concerns. All the lab work done at my last appt came back negative. Yeah!!! The baby is starting to get more active now, especially in the afternoon-evening time. Jon has felt the baby move now and is so excited.

At the appt we scheduled another ultrasound for the next time since the baby's face was turned away from the monitor and we couldn't get a good look. Then we scheduled another appt with the high risk doctor to get another look at the cervical length. The cervical length can be an indicator of preterm labor. The last one was very good and if this one looks good as well then we can give a sigh of relief that things are staying snug and should be okay as far as that goes.

The kids are getting excited about this new sibling that is coming. I finally had to tell Katie that the baby won't be here until after Halloween so please don't ask anymore. She glued figures of her family onto a sheet of paper in primary a couple of weeks ago and then had her teachers give her a baby that she can glue on after Halloween. She keeps the paper close to her and had to show it off for some people we had over at the house the other day. In all the boys sweet little prayers they ask Heavenly Father to bless the baby to come in time. I think that is in all our prayers. In a little less then 4 weeks the baby will be viable- meaning the baby will have a chance of living if born- and I will feel much better when we get past that date.
