Susan Update

Susan had the ultra sound this afternoon. The Doctor doesn't want to induce yet the baby isn't very far down yet and the amniotic fluid is at 7--something, if it was 5 or below they would have induced. The baby is fine 7 1/2 lbs and moving a lot. Susan mentioned that the babies arms and legs stopped growing----I guess the last time the baby was measured the babies arms and legs were about a week ahead--(longer that normal). But now I guess everything is on track. Susan is tall and has long legs and arms, so I thought the baby was taking after her. The Dr. told Susan to come back in Monday for another test, to keep drinking lots of water, and to stop working 12 hour days. I'm very thankful that everything looks good, I sure was looking forward to holding a sweet newborn tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers

Great news, you will be holding that sweet baby before you know it! Tell her to drink lots of water! 7 1/2 Ibs thats a great weight for three weeks left, going to be a big baby! It is a good thing that the Doctors will check her again on Monday, that way they should be able to tell any differences. Our baby is six, and sadly he will be our last grand unless someone adopts. I will keep praying! :)
