All is well in the world...

Yesterday we met with Dr. Tabor, the specialist,  for a repeat sonogram.  It has been almost a month since we saw him last.  It was a good, uncomplicated, easy going appointment.  No drama, no bad news.  Hallelujah! I am now 24 weeks pregnant (6 months).  Hallie is growing at the perfect rate. She is measuring 23weeks and 6days which is pretty spot on.  Those measurements will fluctuate, they typically expect the baby to measure within a week on either side of the due date (May 12, 2014).  She is weighing in at 1.6 lbs which is exactly where she should be.  All bones and structures are growing at the appropriate rate.  All is well in her world, thus is well in ours!


We will continue to see Dr. Tabor once a month to measure Hallie's growth. At least we get to see her on the sono once a month! That's always nice.  I will still have my regular monthly OB appointments with Dr. Robbins, in fact I go tomorrow for that.  Dr. Robbins will be the one to do the delivery.  Dr. Tabor's staff will be present at the delivery and in Intensive Care with Hallie throughout her stay. 


So, next on the agenda... we will have our regular monthly appointments with Dr. Tabor & Dr. Robbins in February.  Then in March we meet Dr. Tam, the Cardiothoracic Surgeon, and have a follow up Echocardiogram with the Pediatric Cardiologist, Dr. Roten, to make sure there are not any concerning changes with Hallie's heart.  I feel April will prove to be a very busy month, filled with doctor appointments... as we get closer to the due date, we will  monitor her growth progress more closely.


In the mean time, we will be nesting, resting and being as still as possible, listening intently as God works in our lives.  Appreciating our daily blessings, those things we have in our lives already. 

"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him..." 

Psalm 37:4-7

      

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Thank you God for the many angels you surround us with on a daily basis, in our everyday lives.  Sometimes we do not see their impact on our lives until we are in a time of need.  When we do finally see the ways in which we are intertwined with each other, we realize that you have been there all along, paving our road, filling our path with these angels, so that our journey then becomes a little easier and your works become greater than we ever knew possible.  Amen.


It helps to know that so many of you have us in your thoughts and prayers.  Thank you for being Hallie's prayer warriors and loving our family.
