Ultrasound #2

Well, we've reached the goal for the month: Sophia is up above the 10th percentile now. She moved from the 8th to the 14th in 3.5 weeks! She is still on the smaller side, though, and since they discovered some uterine artery notching (small gaps in the pulse of the arteries connected to the uterus), I am being referred to the specialists at the maternal-fetal medicine center. They are going to do some special Doppler test to make sure that the baby is getting sufficient nutrients despite the notching. I'm not sure what happens if she's not, but since she was able to grow so effectively with relatively minor dietary changes, I'm hopeful. Please pray that the tests all go well and that Sophia continues to grow healthfully.

Some other interesting pregnancy news: my OBGYN is getting married and moving to Montana! So, I'm being transfered to a different doctor in the same practice. I do like my current doctor a lot, but I'm not too concerned about the transfer since there are only 6 doctors in the practice, all of them female, and I have heard excellent reports of all of them. Besides, there's no guarantee who will be delivering Sophia, anyway.

Brian has been extremely busy at work, and with all the rennovating we're doing on the house--and will continue doing over the next couple of months--it's been quite a time here. Please pray that his work schedule would lighten up some and that he will be able to work more efficiently with what's on his plate.

Love to all!
