June 19 Dr.'s Visit

Today we went for our 3rd Dr.'s visit. We did not have an ultrasound done today. We will have to wait another 4 weeks for that test. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to see what our little bundle of joy looked like in 3d. We were able to hear the heart beat again. It was between 145 and 149 beats per minute. I could notice this time that the beat had a distinguishable gallop to it. It is amazing to hear another heart beat inside of Mel. My mom and sister were in town for Father's Day and they were able to be there with Mel and I. It was sure a joy for my mom to hear her 1st grandchild's heart beat.

I am beginning to feel the pressure of wanting to make sure everything is just right come this December. It seems so far off, but when I start thinking of all that has to be bought, arranged and set up before then it's a little overwhelming. As of today we have a little over 23 weeks to get all of that done. Not only that but we are looking for a new car as well as a new house. So, there is a lot going on in our world.

However, with all of the balls that we are juggling we would not trade any of it. We feel extremely blessed and we thank God for everything that has taken place thus far. Please continue to remember Mel as she goes through this pregnancy. She has done well. She will be flying to Alaska with her family this Saturday, June 24, and will not be back for 10 days. I am not sure what I am going to do with myself while she is gone, but I am sure I will have my list of "to dos."

Thanks again for your prayers!
