Good baby news

The doctor appt's all went well this week. Yeah! The baby is now measuring a little ahead of the due date and weighs a little over 3 lbs now. They say this is good since the baby will be born early. The stitches are still holding so we're hoping to keep going at least another month and get baby even bigger and healthier. The doctor says that at this point if the baby were born there is a 95% survival rate (good) and a 15% chance of long term health problems (not so good). Much better then even a week ago though and the stats only get better from here on out. I am doing alright so far. The doctor has given the okay to go on an outing to the movie theater every now and again. That sounds divine to get out of the house for something other than doctor's appts. Simple blessings.
