Here we are at the mall this week. We just found out that we will be expecting our baby girl within the next 3-4 weeks. She will be a few weeks early, but that is to avoid Rachel going into spontaneous labor while still on the blood thinners. Keep us in your prayers as we anxiously await this blessing!

Here is a shot of part of the baby's room...the other side is our guest bed! :o) This room used to be a dark yellow/gold....Al painted it white and green all by himself! What a dedicated husband and father!!!

Here's the latest picture of Rachel and baby. This week she weighed in at 4 1/2 lbs. She is growing as she should and still facing down. "Good girl, baby leite!"

She's up-side down!!!
....which is a good thing. We were waiting since last week to find out if our baby girl was going to move out of her breech position, otherwise the doctor's would already be considering a c-section. We went in this morning and sure enough, she was head down again. Thank you for your prayers and concerns.

Baby girl is wrong-side up.
We went in yesterday to the specialist and although she is doing fine, they were surprised at her being in breech position since she has been in the right position for weeks now. They really wanted her to stay that way and hope that she will turn back around by next week...they said they only start to worry about it then.

Other than that, we are doing great. 2 more months!!!!!!!!!

6 MONTHS - PREGNANCY UPDATE

Here I am (and she is too)! This was at about 6 months.

Attitude runs in the family!!!
It was so exciting to go to the doctor this week to check up on our baby girl via sonogram. As we were looking at her and how much she has grown (she weighed in at 3 lbs, 6 oz.) she showed us what she is made of a stuck her tongue out at us 3 times! Then she winked at us and put her hands over her face like a little drama queen. :o) We can't wait to meet this baby girl.
Grandma is back from her outings and doing good...Al is finally over the muscle tears and is woring hard. We had some actual winter weather this week with sleet and snow, or "sneet," and some very cold 20's. It was such a nice change for us.
Grace and peace to you all...stay in touch.
