praise the Lord

well we made it to the doctor this morning despite the snow and power outages everywhere.
they monitored the baby for 5 minutes to check the heartbeat and her movement.
she did exactly what they wanted- strong heartbeat and was moving around plenty.
then they did a sonogram and checked the placenta, umbilical cord and the amniotic fluid to make sure everything was working properly which it was.
they checked the anatomy, measuring the head, stomach and femur.
everything came out perfect.
her measurements were right at 5lbs.
the doctor said it just seems that i am going to have a smaller baby but that there was abosultely nothing to worry about at this point- that everything was still considered normal.
praise the Lord!

we also confirmed that she is head down and in perfect position for delivery!
i am so relieved that the appointment is over and all is ok!
i know there were lots of family and friends praying for our baby.
thank you thank you!

we are officially 35 weeks now so only 5 more weeks until we meet our baby girl!
can't wait!

happy snowy friday to you!
