Wow - we have made it a month since we were at the Sanford Hospital ER. We are now officially 5 months along and our baby is definitely still growing! We had another appointment in Orange City today and to be honest I don't have a lot to tell you. We did not do an ultrasound as we had expected since they got so many good pictures of anatomy last week in Sioux Falls. My blood count does continue to creep up. We were at 12.1 today and if we get to 14/15 points that is when the doctors get concerned. So in the last month I went up .8 points. If we can keep that pace we will at least make it to a point in the pregnancy where the baby is viable. Additional good news is that we are not going to do an appointment next week Friday. As long as things remain the same we are planning to go to our Sanford appointment in two weeks.
Once again - thanks for your continued prayers, support, phone calls, meals, visits, etc. Every aspect is greatly appreciated. We have a long road ahead but in an ideal situation we are 1/4 of the way done in our waiting period. We are 4 weeks away from the crucial stage of 24 weeks which at this point is our first goal. Our doctor in Orange City did make the comment today that if things keep progressing like this he would maybe even suggest staying at home longer instead of being admitted to Sanford at 24 weeks like they are suggesting at this time. We will just continue to take things one day at a time, thankful that each day we are one day closer, and make those decisions as the time comes.
