Bed rest again :(

Sweet baby face

Tiny hands

So I'm on complete bedrest for the next two weeks! I went to my specialist today and he discovered that the umbilical cord has only two blood vessels when it should have three. This is a rare problem- about 1 in 100. ( It's called SUA) This opens up the door for lots of different complications- growth restriction being one of the main ones. About 1 in 5 babies develop some sort of abnormality either chromosomal ( like downs syndrome) or in the heart, lungs and other internal organs etc. The good news is that the Dr. looked at all baby #2's parts and they seem just fine! The only thing is that his abdomen is measuring smaller than it should right now. So that is why the bedrest for the next two weeks, in hopes that increased blood flow will bump back up the growth.

Please pray for us and the little guy- that he would grow as he should and that bedrest would not be needed the rest of my pregnancy. We have a lot to figure out as far as help with Weston during the day if I should need to be on bedrest longer- but God knows what we need and He always is so faithful!
