Update on Nez's Progress

First off, Thank you so much to Lindy and Heather for such an awesome baby shower! The games were hilarious, the food was DELICIOUS, the decorations were, of course, very appropriate, and the gifts were fantastic! We had a great time with all our family and friends who came to show their love and support for our little Jordan. You can view the photos from the shower in our online gallery.

Also, we recently had a great shower hosted by our friends, Brittany Dunlap and Loren Roberts, from Chamblee First United Methodist Church. Several ladies came out to celebrate with Nez and got us a lot of nice goodies. To see the photos from that shower, click here.

Ok, for the baby progress report. So, Nez went back to the OB yesterday (11/17) for another ultrasound after a week back at work after bed rest. Amniotic fluids are still within "normal range" but on the very low end. So, she was allowed to continue working, with the stipulation that she sit and do as little standing and moving as possible and when at home, she is basically on bed rest. Another ultrasound and OB appointment are scheduled for next Wednesday (day before Turkey Day) to see how things are progressing. The goal at this point is to keep fluids within a safe zone so Nez can make it to 37 weeks. We hit that benchmark on December 11, and the docs are not ruling out a possible early delivery at 37 weeks if the fluids don't go up significantly before then. We'll see how things go, but for now, Nez is relaxing comfortably, while poor Andy has to do all the shopping, cooking, cleaning and puppy-care duty.

Bed rest was temporary...we hope

Nez was on bed rest for what we hoped was only a week. When we went back to the doctor, they said she could return to work and just take it easy. They did another ultrasound and therefore we now have another baby picture to add to the collection. (The picture above is not it.) We've added it to the online gallery for Jordan.

We are very excited for the baby shower today for Jordan. Lindy and Heather have been planning like crazy and we can't wait to find out what they have planned.

32 weeks down...long way to go

Well, we've made it 32 weeks and are anxiously awaiting Jordan's arrival in less than 8 weeks. Nez has been put on what is hopefully only temporary bed rest for a week. We are heading back to the doctor on Monday so they can tell us whether Nez can return to work or will need to stay on permanent bed rest. Cross your fingers and keep us in your thoughts and prayers while we wait to hear what the next couple of months will be like.
