Appointment Update

We are back with an appointment update!  Things are looking good.  My fluid is holding steady at 14-15 cm.  it's getting harder to measure with the office ultrasound, because he's getting so big!!  Yay!  Grow, baby, grow!  He was awfully darn cute in there.  One minute, he'd be cuddled up with his legs bent underneath him.  The next minute, he'd stretch them all the way out...long and skinny.  We could see his little kneecaps, and he showed us his hands several times.  Five long fingers on each hand.  His heartrate continues to be high, comsistently debunking the "Fast Heartrate = Girl" myth.  :)

Anyway, we had a pleasant visit with Dr. Harrison.  I just love her.  I remarked that the ultrasound machine looked like Wall-E, and she said, "Oh!  Have you seen the movie?"  I looked at her with a perplexed face and said, "Have I been in any theaters for the past five weeks?"  She started laughing and said, "That was a stupid question, huh?"  :)  We both laughed, and I apologized for my smart alleck answer.  She just laughed.

I hope you have all been having a great day, and I hope it continues!  Keep the prayers coming for Burke.  I found out that we actually won't get the steroid shots until around 26 weeks, instead of 24 weeks.  So let's pray for that, okay?  Pray that the next three weeks and some odd days go quickly, quickly, quickly!  Also, pray that my emotions and stress stay in a positive range.  My blood pressure was higher than normal today, and that's very odd for me.  It was still well within the normal and healthy range, just a little high for me.  I might have just been anxious about this appointment.  I was expecting a decrease.

So, anyway...that's the update!  We love you all!  Until next time...
