EIGHT WEEKS, AND COUNTING!

Well, we are only eight weeks away from getting to see our little Jesstine. We had an appointment today. We actually went in last Wednesday as well because she wasn't moving much. It turns out, she was moving. She was just laying in a position where I couldn't feel most of the movements. Today all of my measurements were great. I had even gained a little over two more pounds! I told the nurse that this is the one and only time that a woman is glad to see the weight go up! Some women may not like to see it go up, but I know it needs too so the baby is healthy! I have been having a lot of BH contractions today, so the doctor went ahead and checked my cervix. He said that it was still closed tight, but that he could feel the baby's head pushing up against it. He said that this is the time he would expect to feel that. So, she is head down (from what we can tell) and growing well! I can tell she is bigger because I feel feet in my ribs a lot more often and I now have the waddle! So, so far Jesstine is doing well and I am doing well. We are still taking it a day at a time. We are also slowly getting her room ready for when she comes back. I have picked up a few things here and there that I know will be essential. Thanks for your prayers! Please continue to pray for this little one and for my anxiety! I had a pretty good week this week, but I still have my good days and bad days! There are days where I check her heartbeat 3 times a day. There are other days where I check it 20! The doctor thinks it is harmless and is glad that I can find some solice.

We love you all!
Lacie, Stephen, and Jesstine
