Baby Dahmer

We thought we'd send out a little update with our 20-week ultrasound pictures. As most of you know, this pregnancy has had some rough spots in it with some placental abruption (part of my placenta pulled away from the uterus wall, causing bleeding) and placenta previa (where the placenta is covering part of the cervix. This could result in a c-section because the baby needs to come out before the placenta.) We are happy to say that at this last ultrasound the placenta was no longer covering the cervix (no placenta previa) and there were no signs of my placental abruption. The baby is measuring great, has a great heartbeat, and is very active. I'm doing great now, too, especially knowing that he is doing so well. Yes, they cofirmed at least 5 more times that we are definitely having a boy. Thanks for everyone's prayers, concerns and help. The greatest blessings that have come through this experience is knowing that miracles do happen, that our Heavenly Father loves us and will always be there for us, and that he sends angels (all of you) to give us aid when we need it most.

Hey there! I saw the link to your blog on Jason and Bergen's blog. Congratulations on your new little one on the way. How exciting! It's kind of crazy that we live so close together, yet never see each other. I hope all is well. Feel free to give me a call if you need an emergency babysitter! :)
