3 Weeks: From Hillary

Three weeks ago, I was admitted into the hospital. I remember balking at the idea of staying overnight that first night... How bizarre to think that I haven't been home since May 3rd! But, the good news is that there is an end in sight... even if it is many weeks away.

I had another ultrasound this morning and baby Luke is growing steadily! He continues to measure larger than his gestational age which is a blessing. The doc thinks he is about 4.5/5lbs. We got a quick glimpse of his stomach and the doctor even concluded that it looked the biggest it's been as of yet. So... it is very possible that the extra amniotic fluid is not due to any complication with regards to Luke. We ask you to keep praying that this is the case! My amniotic fluid has increased a little bit, but that was expected. It may naturally stop increasing at this point in the pregnancy, although we will just have to wait and see.

I am supposed to get a more formal ultrasound next week by my high risk doc. My prayer is that everything will be completely normal and the results will be classified as yet another medical mystery (i.e. miracle from God).

I've had a rough couple of days since they've taken me off of the indocin, which included a sleepless night full of anxiety and an increased heart rate (due to the new meds I was on). I think they have finally ironed it all out now and I feel a bit more normal.

Danny came to watch another movie and have lunch on Friday.

Here he is upset that he has to eat his quesadilla

before enjoying the cupcakes that he brought for us.

He couldn't even glance at me while I took the

photo because he was so excited to get his treat.

He kindly left me his buddies to

"keep me company and cheer me up."

Of course Bob had fun making me

pretend they were babies.
