Pregnancy Update:
Next week I will be entering my last trimester, although I think I have already officially entered the world of going to the bathroom half a dozen times during the night. Note to self: do not drink anything after 6 p.m.! Anyways, I am also now in the stage of having to go to the dr. every week. No, not my ob, but a perinatologist, better known as a maternal fetal specialist. They assure me everything is fine(for which I am SO thankful), but since I had an exposure to Fifth's disease in May, and my blood work came back positive beginning of June, I have to go in every week for 10 weeks for ultrasounds. Their office is close to my ob's, so I'm trying to do the appointments back-to-back the weeks I have to go in for both. To be honest, it is kind of a major pain b/c I've got to drive 35 minutes each way into N'vill each week, but I AM so thankful that the technology is there to be able to detect if the virus starts affecting the baby, and that in the unlikely event that happens, they would be able to treat him. Also, God is soo good that my mom now lives ten minutes from us, and is available to keep our children for me during all these appointments...definitely a relief not to have to worry about that! And the up-side to having so many ultrasounds is that this baby will probably have more pictures of him taken before he's born than after he's born, although I don't know if he'll see that as a positive when he's older!

thank goodness for technology! prayers on your little one and enjoy the photos :)...
Thanks, Sarah! Yes, very thankful for the technology...hoping it stays rather boring, although seeing his little face and jaw moving up and down week after week is making me antsy to see what this little guy looks like!
ok, just have to say... LOVE the deathgrip Caroline seems to have on Andrew in your new pic! that is hysterical. I wish I had someone to hold Emory down while I took her picture :).
deathgrip? hmmm..I hadn't noticed that. It is handy to have someone older in the photos, though.
When are you due? How nice to not have to take the kids with you every time! I'm having to get a lot of ultra sounds too for placenta previa and its good to look on the positive side. I am loving being able to check on her a lot. Hope everything continues to go well!
Thanks, Dolly! I am due Sept. 23, so I think I'm slightly ahead of you? Hope everything continues to go well for you..how fun to have another girl! Do y'all have a name picked out?
