Good Reports!

We (Adalynn and I) just got back from the doctor, and my, has she grown! My mom came with me this time and just had a blast watching Adalynn up on the big screen. She was wiggling a little... I think we might have woke her from a nap.

After this past weekend, I called the doctor Monday to voice a few concerns... I had mentioned in my last post that I was feeling kinda rough over the weekend. I was having quite a bit of unexplainable pain. She reassured that I wasn't a high maintenance patient...it was just my situation that was high maintenance! She did want to see me that day.

So I went in both Monday and Tuesday of this week. I have a feeling that I will be on a first name basis with everyone down there before long! Both checkups were great. Monday, she listened to the heart beat--healthy and strong! And we talked through some of the symptons. Looks like it was a combination of cramps, gastro stuff, a little bit of bloody mucous that wasn't concerning, and the fact that I'm 38 pushing 39 years old! She also scolded me for pushing it too hard. She said I wasn't being put on bed rest, but I had to slow down. (I still haven't quite figured out what "slow down" means).

Today, we got to see the baby in action and measured everything. She is 11 ounces! She's grown 4 ounces in just two weeks! That is phenomenol! Remember that they are really tracking her progress because of the not-so-optimal environment that she is in. But her quote was that I was progressing like a normal pregnancy of a 25-year-old! Ugh, that made me feel a little old...but I didn't care! I'm just SO happy that this baby is getting enough nourishment!

Thank you to all for praying for the growth of this baby! Prayers are being answered! Our Noble Miracle is mighty and strong. In fact, my doctor said she's a little "porker"! Love that...

Next appointments:
March 31st - Level 2 ultrasound (live look-in with specialist in Little Rock)
April 7th - follow up appt. with my doctor in NWA

Prayer requests:
...that Adalynn keeps growing and growing and growing
...that Momma slows down (kinda hard with 3 active boys and a full time job!)

I cannot tell you how much we appreciate all of you... we really, really do!
