Other news

Seems like when you just start to get into a groove and feel like everything is going well and in control, change happens.
We were going along just fine, decided to shake things up a bit and add a new member to our family. Everything still okay so we decide Randy should go back to school for another degree.
As soon as he started his class, we find out that this pregnancy is high risk.
This Sunday brought another new change. Randy is now the 1st councilor in the Elder's Quorum. And for now, still 11 year old scout leader.
Then I come home from my Doctor's appointment today and I find out that a big company in Japan is having fax issues and Randy is renewing his passport to be ready to head to Japan! He has never had to travel with work before. We still don't know if he will be going or not. He said only 25% chance that he will go.

Goodness! Lots of adventures. My advice would be whatever you do, don't try to understand Isaiah - you may get more blessings than you are ready for! :)

It's a boy!

I just got back from my visit with the doctor at Maternal Fetal Medicine. We are definitely having a boy.
The ultrasound agreed with my due date of June 27th.
The MCA scan to check anemia indicates mild anemia possible. Not too great, but the scan doesn't indicate any further treatment - only more monitoring.
Also the umbilical cord only has one artery instead of two. Not a problem yet, but could be later as the baby may not get the nutrients it needs and may need to be induced early.
I did have an amnio while I was there to check blood type. If the baby is RH- then I can go back to the Baby Place and have a happy pregnancy. If the baby is Rh+, then I will remain in high risk. My gut feeling says the baby is RH+. I decided it would be best to find out for sure, I would hate to stress for the rest of the pregnancy and inflict unnecessary interventions on an Rh- baby. The amnio went fine. I am just supposed to take it a little easy for a few days to avoid contractions and such. The results will be back from the lab in two weeks. More waiting - UGGH!
I was nervous about going to the specialist. I do not like the front office girls in Doctors' offices. I only talked to one front desk girl and she is very new and not too impersonal. The ultrasound tech, the nurse, and the doctor were all very nice and the Dr. made me feel like I was part of the team not just a patient. I think everything will be okay. Whew.

The Happy News of the day is that Katie had a baby girl this morning. Her name is Ella. That is all I know for now. Yeah, Katie!
