36 Weeks

September 16: And 36 weeks now. Baby has gained another pound in the last couple weeks and looks great. The tech doing the ultrasound today showed me all of baby’s hair. What can I say, we have ‘full head of hair’ babies. 😂

There have been some unexpected *possible developments with the timing and method of our delivery, nothing of emergency but your ongoing prayers would are appreciated. 💛

34 Weeks

September 3: 34 weeks. This marks the week I would have had to return to Houston for the duration of the pregnancy if the fetal surgery for baby girl had been approved. All that worry seems ages ago now. And though being told “No” for the surgery was a bitter pill to swallow at the time I am thankful to be home with my family and resting in God’s wisdom.

At today’s appointment with the specialist baby weighed 5lbs 9oz! Up 2 pounds since last month. It was a relief to hear she’s growing. And she’s back to head down again, hooray! Wiggly thing.

So all is well for another week. We are so blessed.

August 16: The First Day of School for our Elementary kiddos. Per tradition we give a schultüte (school cone) to each baby on the first day of Kindergarten. Josephine was so excited I didn’t even get to feel all sad! One more kid in the “getting ready for school” mix is no joke though.
