Another day another update...

Hello world,

So here is another update. We had a NST and Growth Scan on Thursday January 10th. Her NST went well although she still had to be buzzed a few times to get her moving, but after a while she did cooperate and they got what they were looking for. Her growth scan was good. We got to see her fantastic face! It looks so cute and I can't wait to kiss her!! Peter and I have decided that she has his nose and my cheeks. She weighs 3 pounds which is in the 60th percentile. Peter and I are delighted with this news. We need her as chunky as she can be for her surgery. The fluid on Thursday was at 23.5. We were told that it shouldn't exceed 24. When we talked with the doctor after everything they said that they start to monitor it more closely if it exceeds 24 because it could cause contractions however this amount fluctuates day to day even ultrasound tech to ultrasound tech. They drew my blood for the glucose test (praying that comes back good), and we are waiting for those results!

Here's her chunky cheeks

Today, Monday January 14th we went in for another NST and AFI. Again Ms. Emma decided to play hard ball and got buzzed, I think she is becoming immune to this and hears it and continues about with her growing and just hanging out. However we did learn that this test was really intended for babies of a gestational age of 32 weeks. They said that once we hit that mark these test will be easier and she shouldn't have to get buzzed as frequently. Then we went for her AFI, which was quick and painless, I got to see her cute little foot, and we found out that the fluid was at 20! Praise God! It went down!!!

Thank you all for being faithful readers and prayers, Peter, myself and our families appreciate your thoughts and your prayers for us and our baby girl! We are so in love with her. We often remark about how much love we have for the little person growing inside of me and how she isn't even here yet and we are head over heels for her!

At the end of the day this is what matters...
