I had an ultrasound this morning.
The fluid went up to 10.5, which everyone was happy to see. Little guy was and is moving well. I need to continue drinking the equivalent of a small mountain lake every day and lie down several times for a good rest, but otherwise they feel I can go about my business (which entails scurrying in all directions). My next check is in a week.
But don’t let all that make you drop us from your prayer list. We still have several weeks to go before our still-nameless (just slipping that in) boy is fully ready to join all of us on the outside.
Oh what good news! Swim, swim, swim little nameless man.

I will continue to pray your fluid levels stay up.

Whooppee! Maybe he’ll be the next Michael Phelps, what with all that extra swimming he’s doing these days.
Chug-a-lug Gretchen, and we’ll keep praying that he swims his way right up to his due date.

Woot!
That is excellent news.
We didn’t have a name for our first until she’d been on the outside for a full 24 hours. We had it narrowed down to a dozen before we had the baby, then struggled pairing up first and middle names. And we wanted to meet her first, so we could pick an appropo name.
Stay healthy.

We ended up with one boy and one girl rather than the five kids I originally anticipated – but had I had another boy, he would have been Asher Wade – Asher because it means “blessed by God and full of joy” and Wade becasue we know a single female missionary with that last name, and when I looked up the meaning, it meant “ready/able to go”. And, I think “blessed by God, full of joy, and able to go” is quite a name.
A second girl would have been Ruby Belle – just because it’s pretty.
That is wonderful to hear!!!

Still praying for you! Do you think it’ll be before Christmas or after? Not being nosey, just wondering how much longer you have to go! Altho I guess you can see the end!

Great news, and I will still keep praying! It makes me feel better to know you don’t have a name yet, because we definitely don’t have any name in mind for our little one!
G – I’m so glad! That’s very good news. Merrier Christmas from me and Joshua!
The update I have been watching for! Great news, and you both will continue to be in my prayers.
Great news. Keep up the good work.
Woohoo! Thank you for the update~of course we’ll keep praying <3

Wonderful news. I’ll keep praying anyway. (Man, you are so pushy.)
I think you need a name that means “water.”
