Appointment Update...

Well I wanted to post right away because I know many of you have been praying for us and little Libby. My doc appointment was FABULOUS. I went in for the ultrasound and the first thing she said was how low down her head was. (She's been breech and that's been a concern of mine...) She struggled to get the wand low enough to get a clear picture of her head. Then she did a growth scan and measured everything (while she continued to say, "She is REALLY big.") Although, I've looked huge with my kids, they usually come out small, but unless she comes out right now, she might break the trend. She measured 2.5 weeks ahead and according to her measurements - is already 5 lbs 10 oz. (ultrasounds are not always accurate on the exact weight but it was clear that she was bigger than a typical 32 weeker.) She checked her bowel and said ..........."It looks exactly like what I would expect to see with a baby at this age." The bright spot was completely missing. Although I have felt peace about things for a few months, I expected to still see the brightness and for her to just come out normal. I didn't expect it to be gone and the docs be surprised. I was so happy. I was grateful. I was smiling at God for doing such a blatant miracle that we had been praying for for so long. When I met with the doctor, she was ecstatic. She tried to give possible reasons for its absence, but seemed just as awed as me, with no clear answers. She's a Christian too, and I told her, "I don't care why it was there, or why it's gone. I just know it's not there any more." She knew exactly what I meant. So things are great! She's in position, if I do go early. She's looks great and obviously a healthy eater, (she'll fit right in with this fam...) and the kicker to the appointment.......? I stood up on the scale, prepared to meet my doom, and I had LOST 1 pound. :)
It's doesn't get any better than that.

Thank you for all your encouraging words and prayers. We know God has a hand in our lives and continues to bless us in new ways every day. Today it was just a very crystal clear way.
God is good.
