First post



Hello everyone and welcome to our blog. We decided to make a blog about our family since so many people live far away and this has been a good way for us to keep in touch with other family members through their blogs.


Right now I am 32 weeks pregnant and let me tell you I feel like I've grown a lot in the last week. If you didn't think I was pregnant before now you can definitely tell now. So far the pregnancy has gone... well okay I would say. Once you're through the morning sickness, aversions to food, and freaking out over every pain, it's not that bad to be pregnant. Now I'm just left with continued heartburn and a low platelet count. Now that I'm in the home stretch, as some call the third trimester, the doctors are monitoring my platelet counts 1-2 times a month now but will increase in frequency they tell me when I'm closer to delivering. We're not worried about the low platelet count as of now because it is still above the magic number of 70,000 where they tell me that interventions would be needed if it were to drop below. Please pray for us that it stays around 100,000 where it is now. I can't believe that I'm posting a picture of me on here pregnant but for those who haven't seen me in the last 2 weeks, I've grown.

  1. If you have grown, you must have been extremely small before! Looking good! Now, post some pics of the nursery....
