i have written two blog entries in the past few days and both i accidentally deleted before submitting them.... very frustrating! so i am attempting again, this time in gmail where it saves everything every few seconds.

so since my last update, things have been better. thank you all so much for your prayers, God is listening and we are feeling it very much! life is even sweeter since we have our amazing special dahlia and valen keeping us busy! they are so sweet and fill us with so much joy. i did tell dahlia this week that something might be wrong with the baby inside. she asked lots of questions and is now praying for him everyday... along with lots of hugs and kisses to my belly. and valen also is into snuggling my belly now too, just randomly he will come lift up my shirt and smooch and hug gently, so precious.

we met with one of the doctors at the swedish medical center and felt really comfortable with them there. we are transfering our care from our awesome midwife to the seattle office because of our situation, but she may still be available to be at the birth. she is really awesome and we both really trust her and feel comfortable with her.

our next ultrasound is in two weeks and hopefully we will see some progress with his growth. i would like to clarify the proper term for his condition. he is not just a dwarf, he has short rib polydactyly. the lungs is the main concern with this syndrome. that is why it is a lethal condition. most babies with this problem cant live outside the womb because they cant breath on their own.

i hope summer comes soon to brighten our days even more, i am so done with this rain and cold!!!!!
