Well, it has been an interesting couple of days here in KY. Yesterday they sent me to the hospital because my Bile Acids and Liver Enzymes had shot up. I am feeling good, and even more importantly Baby Girl is doing very well, but we are in the Louisville Hospital. So glad that Baby Girl is doing good. They did another U/S and she is looking great. They say that I do have Cholestasis and have given the medicine for it. The Doctor seemed to indicate that if all is still good tomorrow, then we may get to go home tomorrow. Please keep us in your prayers, thanks!

Hey everyone, if you look on the sidebar you'll see I put a new gallery that has a couple of 4D ultrasound pictures we got on Thursday. We weren't planning on doing 4D, but ended up needing an extra ultrasound and the tech did the 4D for us.
The reason we had the extra ultrasound is that I've been having some issues with itching, which caused the dr. to run a few blood tests that came back elevated. Baby girl is doing just fine, and on track with her weight (estimated at 1 lb 12 oz)! The tech also did an u/s of my gall bladder and saw that I have gallstones, but they aren't bothering me at the moment. I'm not sure if its the gallstones causing the levated liver ensymes or something else, so if you could, could you keep us in your prayers. I don't think it's anything serious right now, but it will be something that will have to be watched. We'll probably be going to a liver specialist sometime soon just to figure out what's going on.
Hope everything is going well for everyone out there!

Wow! It's hard to believe that it's only 100 days till Little Girl's due date. I'm getting excited about getting the nursery done...my mom is coming up next week, Lord willing, to help us paint, and then preparations will begin in earnest.
The kids market at the beginning of the month was LOTS of fun, and I found LOTS and LOTS of great deals on baby stuff. I got a crib (thanks Linda for paying for it, WOW!), one of those fancy cradle/swings ($170 new for only $20!), an exercaucer ($75 new for $10) two great diaper bags, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Thanks mom and dad for working so that Marie and I could go!
Well, I think I've begun the first stages of nesting. Monday night about 10:00 I just had to finish cleaning out the craft stuff, going through the Bible Class stuff that needed to be taken care of, and cleaning up the future baby's room. Both rooms look pretty empty of "stuff" right now, and I'm ready to move furniture, but Jacob, wisely, won't let me help him. I think I may start taping the walls in the future baby's room to get ready to paint. :)
In other news, it has really snowed here...not really a lot at a time, just 2 or 3 days a week for the last couple of weeks. As much as I think snow is pretty, I'm ready for some warmer weather (And not having to worry about messy roads). Thankfully, Jacob has driven me anywhere I want to go, which is really really nice.
The next few weeks are pretty busy. Friday night, we are going to try to go to the singing in Bowling Green, Saturday is our Evangelism Class, then next weekend is our anniversary. We were wanting to go somewhere, but guess what....they're already calling for more snow. Maybe it will only rain. The next week is the Kid's Market in Huntsville. Mom and Dad volunteered to work so that Marie and I could get in on the first day of the sale and get some super good bargains. I'm hoping to find a crib there, and maybe a baby swing. Then we'll probably start our birthing class near the end of the week.
Speaking of baby stuff (haha when am I not, lately). I just wanted to say how wonderfully blessed we have been. Everyone here has so kindly passed down all their baby stuff to us, so that there are very few big items that we actually need to buy. WOW! We are so grateful!
Hum...this seems to be a pretty boring post, sorry!
I'm glad that baby girl is doing well. I hope you get to go home tomorrow!
praying for you!
Wow Anna! I'm sorry. Will definitely be keeping you in my prayers. Glad to hear that baby girl is doing well and that you are being treated. Take care!
So happy to hear that all should be fine! Thinking of you.
Going to stay one more night so that I can see a GI Dr. tomorrow (instead of waiting longer to see one outside the hospital) but the Dr. here is pretty sure we are on the right track. I'm still feeling great and the baby's doing great too! Probably will have some extra doctor's visits the next several weeks, but Lord willing that will be all that's necessary unless things change. Thanks for the prayers and the encouragements!
