Update March 3

We are sooooo proud of our little sweetheart! She gained approx. 9 oz. this past month! She now weighs approx. 1lb 14oz. Addi is almost at the 2lb. mark! We really wanted her to reach at least 2lbs. before she was born and it looks like she is going to make it! Our ultra-sound was also much better than the last one. We were able to see her face a little better and we saw one leg and one arm. Her heart was just beating away in the 130's. The technician held the wand still on my stomach and let us watch her move for a few minutes as well. That was precious time because we do not get to feel her very much. She is still very very low and still very small. She should weigh around 4 pounds at this gestation. Her abdomen is around 8-10 weeks behind in growth. She is just an amazingly precious baby, and we love her soooo much! Something must be going right in there, because she is still lighting up our lives daily!

Hey!
I watch for your updates and am always anxious to hear how things are going. I must tell you that you have been an encouragement to me. Though I know you have difficult and hard days, you are always finding the positive in every obstacle. Your faith in our Heavenly Father has also been uplifting. We sometimes never know why we go through certain things in life but please know this; Through your trials you have been a light and encouragement for others. God can use us in every situation if we let him and you have allowed him to shine. The love you have shown for your little one and for our Savior....and showing the world that every ounce she gains and every strong heart beat is something to be thankful for...those are daily miracles happening within you. Keep being positive and we'll all keep praying. I always ask for God to warp his loving arms around you and let you feel his love and comfort. Love all three of you!
