One more week…
Angela had another appointment today with her doctors. Everything turned out as well as possible. They’ve given her one more week at home with Meredith and me. During today’s ultrasound they checked for heart tones (they look at the heart, watch it pump blood and measure the heart rate). All five of them looked as good as can be. They didn’t do any measurements today, but we anticipate that they will do that at our next appointment next week. They did measure Angela’s cervix today. It is a little shorter than it was two weeks ago at her last appointment, but it is still measures similar to that of a normal ranges.
One more piece of news from today’s appointment, we think that we know the sexes of all five now. Unless they missed something, it looks like it’s gonna be 4 girls and 1 boy. The poor little guy isn’t gonna have a chance. He’ll be wearing a dress and singing show tunes by the time he’s five. That’s ok though…I like show tunes and I’ve worn a skirt before too. Heck, I was in an all men’s glee club for cripes sake.
So…what’s this all mean? We’re gonna try to enjoy as much time with momma this week as Meredith is at home all week with us. We’ll also try to do a little planning for her time at ANW. I have a feeling that a conversation about names will pop up once or twice as well. Our friends from UNI, the Riley’s, are gonna come and visit this weekend. Adam’s gonna give me a hand with a few projects that will likely include tipping a few “cows.” Jessica has volunteered to watch the kids (Meredith, 17 mos; McKenzie, 22 mos; and Carter, 8 weeks). God Bless her. The kids will have a great time playing together.
Thank you so much to everyone for your continued support, prayers, and interest in how we’re doing!
Until next time…
