Update

We are back at home, barely, packing up again for a Bible study retreat this weekend in Anaheim! I am excited for our group and the "family time" we will be having together. Andrew and 2 other leaders will be preaching on things specifically related to our group and it should be very encouraging.

Andrew's mom is here with us this week and will be coming as well to the retreat and we have been so blessed by her and her service to us, Weston and our home. She drove us down from Manteca on Monday, and I will hopefully posting some pics from our trip up there soon.

On Tuesday I had an appointment with my regular OB and we found out that the baby has turned around in the "head-down" position! I am so excited since Weston was breech...this is one thing on the list of many that needs to happen for me to even possibly dream of having a natural delivery. We are praying he stays happy upside down for the remaining weeks!

Today I went into the specialist for the detailed sonogram checking his growth. My poor little guy has declined a bit ( by 15%) in his growth rate so that means I need to do more resting than I have in the last three weeks. I am feeling like a bad mommy today, since I know that I have not been trying as hard to get a solid 6 hours/day of bedrest. It is so easy to just keep popping up off the couch to get this, or do that! Please pray for me and my self-discipline. I also do not want to frustrate our dear family who are working so hard to help us right now. I need to do my part! But the baby is still in a safe range with his growth, the doctor would just like to see it go up a little higher. I go back in 2 weeks and will update then! Only 9 more weeks to go...yay!
