Getting Close

Leah and I went to the doctor on Tuesday and things seem to be progressing quickly.  The fluid build-up continues at the same pace, and his body is measuring very small (about the 8th percentile).  All of his organs seem to be developing as planned, which is good news because the doctors could be performing the C-Section as early as tomorrow (Friday).  They are monitoring Leah for preeclampsia and we will get the results tomorrow morning when we head down to the med center.  Dr. Ivey told us to pack our bags and be prepared to stay for a while if they decide to do the procedure after our appointment.  If they don't take him this week, we will have a firm date by Tuesday of next week.  We have scheduled appointments at Baylor down town every Tuesday and Friday from now until Parker is born.

Leah is on bed rest now, which is a huge relief!  She feels much better now that she is rested and not near as swollen.  I hope to have another update on Friday if they don't do the procedure.

In the mean time, here are before and after pictures of the almost completed nursery (it's done now, but I haven't had time to go take new pictures).

  1. Love the nursery! The both of you have been so strong thru this pregnancy and we are so proud of you. You are an adorable couple with so much to give, an inspiration to us all. The next few weeks will be challenging, but I have no doubt that you will both come thru this even stronger and closer in love and faith. I feel like I already know Parker, actually I do know him. He is a remarkable baby boy with the same determination, adaptability, trust and will that you both have. He is in Gods hands, our heart and our prayers. Love, Mom & Danny

  2. You are all in our prayers and tonight especially as Parker goes thru his surgery. We were so happy to hear that Leah came thru her surgery good and that Parker is strong. We will be praying for you, your families and the doctors and nurses taking care of you. You are in two great hospitals. God will be right there with you and our prayer for you is to feel peace that comes from trusting him. Love to you all, Charles and Justine Huselton
