30 week Update

Good Morning!  I can't even begin to believe that I'm at 30 weeks...almost 31.  This pregnancy continues to go faster than I would like!  I look at Tenley sometimes and think "oh sweet girl, your world is about to be rocked."  But I know she'll handle the change with ease.  She's already handled several moves so well.  I know she adapts well.  We've been asking her if she wants a brother or sister and up until yesterday she said "No." to both.  But yesterday she smiled big and said "a sister!"  So that's her vote.  Of course Daddy is still holding out for a boy, but really we're just happy to add a healthy child to our family.  Whatever gender that might be!  Do you have any guesses?

I had an appointment and ultrasound yesterday.  I had to have another ultrasound, because I continue to lose weight.  They wanted to make sure that baby was growing appropriately.  I was never concerned until I sat in the waiting room thinking about all the possibilities.  But God's will prevails - always.  Everything checked out great.  Baby is approximately 3 lbs. which is slightly above average for this point in my pregnancy.  The Dr. said if she had to guess she would say we are NOT going to have another 9 lb. baby!  That was music to my ears.  But I know that there is no way of really knowing that.  So I won't hold my breath!  It was amazing to see our little one moving around during the ultrasound while feeling every movement and kick.  I'd never had an ultrasound this late in a pregnancy before, so it was so interesting.  We could even see some hair!  Tenley wasn't born with much hair, but from the looks of it this baby has more!

We're still looking at a due date of December 16th.  So this Christmas baby will be here before we know it! Thank you for your continued prayers as our family grows!
