Updates...

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on the prayer requests I had. David's recovery went very well and now he is getting back normal... just in time for school to start! Tessa's surgery went well... just praying that she will have a speedy and healthy recovery. Thank you all for your prayers!

My doctors appt. last week went well. The nurse had a hard time counting the heartbeats because the baby would not stay still. :) The baby has been very active this past week, so active that I can see my belly move up and down... really cool!

Prayer Request...

Please keep my new little niece Tessa in your prayers. She is only 2 weeks old and is in ICU because she is having problems with a vein that is too narrow to pump oxygen to her heart. She will need surgery but they do not know when. She has been transported to a hospital in L.A. where she will have the surgery.

25 Weeks

I'm 25 weeks along now and feeling Baby E kick a lot! Last night it felt like the baby was doing aerobics or something. It made me laugh thinking about what the baby could possibly be doing in there with all the movement that was going on. I go in next week for another appointment.

Welcome Tessa Rose Eveland!

Matt's brother Jay and his wife Paula, had their little baby girl on August 2nd. I believe she weighed 7lbs. Congrats to both of you and we can't wait to meet her someday!

22 Weeks

I had another ultrasound today because they wanted to make sure that my placenta had "migrated." Last time I went in the doctor said my placenta was low lying, which means it was down by my cervix. They did not seem to concerned at the time because they said the placenta will usually migrate away from the cervix on it's own. So, they did another ultrasound today to make sure that it moved and it did. I'm so thankful that it did move because it could cause problems in the third trimester. They said everything looked good and I got to see Baby E again, so that was a plus! :) They also gave me more pictures of the baby. The pictures are of the baby's face and the feet. It was so cool to see those little feet on the screen!

19 Weeks

I am 19 weeks along now and almost half way done! I could feel Baby E "kick" (or whatever he/she may be doing in there) for the first time last night. It feels like a little flutter, something I have definitely never felt before. Baby E was definitely more active today. It is fun to think about what is really going on in there. :)

Prayer Request...

Please keep my brother David in your prayers. He had to undergo an extensive jaw surgery yesterday to correct his bite. It's going to be a long recovery and probably painful recovery for him, so if you could keep him in your prayers, it would be greatly appreciated! Get well soon David... we wish you the best!!
