July 14 Drs Appt Update

We did have a good drs appt yesterday. We had a sonogram to check on Mary Audrey's growth due to my low weight gain. I did gain 3 lbs in 2 weeks so I am up to 12 lbs total now.

John and I were amazed at the ultrasound and how much Mary Audrey had grown. Her head was turned so that she was looking at us but we could only see half of her face. We did see her move her hands and feet and of course I could feel her kick me every once and while. We weren't able to get any good pictures because she was very stubborn and wouldn't roll over for the sonogram technician (even though I think the technician tried to push that sonogram instrument through my stomach trying to get her move). Our appointment was at 3:00 p.m. and Mary Audrey is normally not active in the afternoons after I eat lunch. She normally just chills at that time ... go figure.

The technican was able to confirm that she is a girl so I don't have take anything back, thank goodness. Mary Audrey's measurements placed her in the 38.5 percentile of babies at the 30-week mark. Dr. Lott was pleased stating that he likes to see babies in the 30 - 50 percentiles at this time. So, everything is cool with Mary Audrey.

We did get a call today that the carpet actually arrived in Starkville. Hopefully we can get it installed on Wednesday, July 16 before we leave for 10 days on work related activities. Then her room will begin to take shape.

Please continue to pray for us and Mary Audrey's growth. I am feeling good but starting to feel the effects of less energy as I enter this 3rd trimester. John and I have our HUGE work related projects over the next 14 days so pray for patience and energy for us to make it through.

Next appointment: July 28 @ 8:00 a.m.
