Praise the LORD!!!

Well let me just say it has been a rough few months... with Josie's SUA problem and all the possibilities of things that could go wrong. Then when we went to our ultrasound on the 2nd and found out that her belly was only in the 2nd percentile.. that was hard to swallow. Then my doctor telling me that it is a sign of Downs.. and all the other things that could be going on.. It has been a very stressful 2 1/2 weeks.

We went yesterday for our follow-up ultrasound and found out that her belly has caught up and she is as healthy as can be. She is 4lbs and 1oz and I still have 8.5 weeks to go. My mom says we are going to have a moose.. I am praying not.. if so knock me out and wake me when she is out.. LOL Both Dan and I were only 6lbs 9ozs and Noah was only 7lbs 4ozs.. I could handle that. I guess only time will tell.

We saw that she has hair. Starting Monday I will go for weekly testing that I will have to pass. If I fail then they will take her early. The ultrasound lady said that we will be able to watch her hair grow from week to week and that is pretty neat to see. I go back on Oct 20th for another full ultrasound. I think that may be the last one.. I guess we will find out then.

Anyway thank you to all of you who have been praying for us. I am soo glad that she is FINALLY healthy. I can only believe that God healed Josie. She is going to be and is living proof of the miracles that God can do!!

Please don't stop praying. Now we just need to keep her in for 3 more weeks. I must say that is a bit scary, exciting, nerve wrecking that she could be here in as little as 3 weeks..

I can't wait to see her, but also want to be able to bring her home when I come home from the hospital!!

Thanks Again for all the wonderful thoughts and prayers!

Dan, Stephanie, and Noah
