Still Waiting...

We just left the specialist. Allie's fluid was still up. It measured a 12 which is great. Her dopplers are starting to decrease. They are still good enough to keep her in but they are showing signs of decreasing over the past few weeks. We have at least one more week of keeping her in. Dr. Gonzalez said he thinks we have just a few more weeks max. He does not expect her to go the distance.
We had a very uncomfortable weekend. My body is starting to show signs of her getting ready to come and it is not the best feeling. Dr. Gonzalez said everything is normal and she is just getting ready to come.
We go to my doctor on Thursday. He watches my weight, blood pressure, etc while the specialist watches Allie so there should not be any big developments on Thursday. I'll post on thevafter the appointment.
Next Tuesday at the specialist is Allie's big appointment. She will get measured on Tuesday and we will get to see how she is growing. We are now 32 weeks so here is to another week of growth for Allie.

Following Allie

Why Create a Blog: Each week we would send out an email about Allie's progress to our friends, family, and prayer warriors. Many times in the midst of everyday life we would leave someone out of the loop and forget to forward the email to them. Also, many of the people we were sending the email to also forwarded the email to other prayer warriors that were keeping up with us and Allie. We hope this blog will allow everyone to keep up with the Allie's progress and our journey as expectant and new parents.


What to Expect: We will post each week the updates on our doctor's visits as well as information regarding Allie's health and progress after she is born. We may also post a little about our every day lives and events...although besides work there is often very little to post.


Who: We would love if each of you that follow Allie's blog would pass this on to others that you know are praying for her or are interested in her eventful life. We hope this allows everyone to follow without depending on someone else to forward the information to them. We also hope this keeps the information passed out accurate.
