Jim and I went to our monthly doctor appointment this afternoon (Jim's flight got in at 2:50, he picked me up and we still make it to my 4:20 appointment!). Pretty routine appointment. She said my weight gain is right on track (right at 10 pounds) and my tummy is looking good. Baby's hear rate was 138...a little lower than before, but still within the norm. We discussed the family heart problems on the Thomas side (DeAnn emailed me a description of it all, which I gave to my doctor). She said there is probably nothing to be concerned about since Jim and John were fine, but it is good to be aware of any potential problems. She will know more after she sees the heart from the ultrasound (she hasn't received them yet from the ultrasound last week). Our next appointment will be in 4 weeks, at which time we will go over the ultrasound results and I will take the diabetes test.
Oh and due to the many suggestions I received, I bought a Bella Band today after the appointment at Target. It was a little more expensive then I thought they would be, but if it makes wearing pants comfortable and possible...it will be well worth it! I'll let you know.

Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.
