Thankful for...

1. Family! Mike's Mom and sister (Terri, who is from Mississippi) came and spent a few days with us. They were so much help. This trip couldn't have had better timing, they watched the boys for me while I went to a Doctors appt. The perinataltoloigist (high-risk specialist)... TWICE! So three appointments in three days. Which I don't know what I would have done if they weren't here because I could NOT take anyone with me under the age of 14. So this trip was perfect! Thanks guys!!! On Wednesday we went to Newport Beach and it was a beautiful day. Carter LOVED chasing the seagulls and Ammon loved playing in the ocean. Right when I went to take this picture this guy who was skimming the water just happened to be in the picture. It honestly startled me a bit, but I think it's so funny. He looks like he's going to put his hand on Ammon's head.

2. A HEALTHY BABY! After going to the perinataltologist twice it's safe to say her heart is perfectly healthy. Her heart rate is NORMAL. (I told you the nurse didn't know how to use the monitor). They checked all of her valves and if they were functioning correctly and they were. I'M SO , SO , GRATEFUL. Even though I had a very calm feeling about it all, it was so nice to be reassured. I also found out that she loves her hands by her face, and that on Wednesday, November 11th she weighed 4 lbs 10 ozs. The ultrasound was so awesome. I got to see her cute little face with her hands covering her lips (in 3-D). I think she looks like Carters newborn pictures. I guess we will see pretty soon since today I am 33 weeks.
