Remaining Strong at 27 Weeks

I had to include a few pictures from our trip to San Francisco.  We had a great time exploring the sites and eating at local restaurants.  Scott's high school friend, Ajay, was our tour guide one day.  We saw many great views of the city and bay that we never would have found on our own.  It was great to get away for a while and to have some FUN.

A vista point overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.  What a view!



This morning we were back at the doctor.  Today, marks 27 weeks and we're still remaining strong.  Dr. Nyholm (also known as the optimistic one!) thought things were looking good today.  The mass wraps around the heart and today it looked like that area had regressed some.  The ratio measured at 1.46 (compared to 1.9 on Friday).  The difficult part about the ratio is that different people are performing the ultrasounds and may not always use the exact same points to measure so there is an error margin.  Hopefully, we'll continue to see numbers around this (or lower!)

This picture is a cute shot of her arm and hand.  She's always awake when we have 8 am ultrasounds and moves around a lot.  She makes the technicians work to get good pictures of her.  This morning, she had the hiccups so now I know what that feels like, too.

As always, thanks for reading, thinking and praying for our little girl.  God has certainly made her a tough little one and she's blessed to have so many people in her corner.

Much love,

Scott & Sarah

  1. Glad you were able to get away for a few days of fun. You certainly deserve a break with so much on your mind.

    Also, thanks again for all the updates - you do such a beautiful job of writing Sarah. I'm looking forward to blog updates and photos twice a week until your little girl is 18 at least!!

    God Bless You Three,
    Love,
    Mary

    PS. Nice of you to let Scott borrow Babyzins bib.

  2. Hi Sarah and Scott,
    Jessie just sent the blog site and we only learned of the situation recently. What can I say except that I believe in the strength of prayer and I am a good prayer. Not to brag, but God listens to me a lot )of course I have to talk to Him a lot too). I will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers and I look forward to meeting your daughter. I just hope she is more like you and less like Scott as he was always curious and a bit devious also (haha), but you know I have always loved him like he was my son instead of my nephew. Remain strong and optimistic which I am certain is so much easier for me to say than for you to do. In life there is so little we actually have control over so "Let go, Let God".
    All our love and support,
    Terry and Denna
