Baby Update

Thought it was time for a baby update! The last few weeks have been kind of challenging for our family. I was told by the doctor to slow down, and do only what had to be done around the house. Then, on August 6th, I went in having a few problems, and they put me on the monitor for awhile. Baby's heart rate was 280, and not going down at all. They sent us to Omaha to have it checked out that day. We left at 6:00, and got there at midnight. They monitored and ran tests for 12 hours, and everything looked fine. We were very thankful, but also exhausted! I have to go in to my regular doctor each week now until the end to have an ultrasound and monitoring done. Also, we are going to Lincoln Pediatric Cardiology Clinic next week to have a more in depth ultrasound done on the baby's heart. This is the kind of thing we have been spending our hot afternoons doing. Glad we have a library to visit! :)I'll try to get a belly picture on here soon!

I still can't believe that heart rate. The number makes me jump now just as bad as it did that night! Continuing to pray for you!

I've been thinking about you and wondering how things are going. Hope you can keep finding plenty of quiet, restful things to do to fill your days. Praying for your family and a healthy new baby.
