This Week...No Baby

This past week was a busy one for us, but "baby K" did not decide to make his way into the world. He decided that the wants to spend at least a few more days in mommy's belly. Who can blame him? He will have a lot to get used to once he outstays his welcome. He did, though, get his two week eviction notice!

Dana had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday - which she will now have weekly until the baby comes. Her doctor, Dr. TT (Jennifer Tessmer-Tuck) is fantastic by the way (her picture is to the left...). There was not a whole lot of news to report - but here are the highlights:

• He is very healthy - at least from what the doctor can tell. His heart rate was normal, and Dana got to see him practice his breathing during an ultrasound.



• He weighs over 7 pounds! He is up to birth weight. If he stays in there much longer, he could be one heavy baby!



• He is positioned correctly now with his back to Dana's stomach, and like he has been for about two weeks. He is sitting "head-down."

We are very anxious for him to come. These last two weeks will be difficult since both mommy and daddy lack a whole lot of patience. (I think that we might have inherited that from our parents!)

Dana goes in for another doctor's appointment on Wednesday - if she makes it that long! Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. It might help if you pray for our patience!
