Break out the PINK!!!!!!!

Need I say more? BabyGirl will be beside herself. I cannot wait to go get her from school!

There is a 2 mm. hole in the baby's heart, but this is VERY common at this stage in pregnancy. The ultrasound tech said almost 9 out of 10 babies have it. They don't see the need for a follow up, so I am not going to stress about it. B.B. had the same thing, and his healed well before birth. Worst Case Scenario is a slight murmur after the baby is born, but even that is unlikely.

Husband is sick again. I feel so bad for him...and was just thinking how nice it was to have everyone healthy again.

I got an email from my aunt this morning. She said she spoke with Jr.'s grandmother and the doctor did not put Jill on bed rest. They do want her to carry 4 more weeks, but as far as we know, things are going well with her.

In other news, I got an email from another friend of mine today. She lurks here to keep up with us and has been following all the pregnancy issues. I used to baby sit for her and her brother and sister when I was in high school. She lived across the street from us. As her name is also Lauren, I'll call her Lauren B. to keep her distinct from our "wandering" Lauren.

At any rate, Lauren B. is expecting her second baby (a girl) a few weeks before I'm due. At her last ultrasound, they found a solid mass on her uterus. She goes to have a level II ultrasound done at a specialist in St.Louis on Feb 12th. Right now they're hoping this is nothing that could be life threatening to her or the baby. Her doctor & the radiologist weren't sure what to make of the mass. She and her husband wish they could get in to the specialist sooner, but no such luck. She asked if I'd keep them in my prayers and I said yes. I asked if I could post about it here as the more prayer the better and she said please do. I know you all will be praying for her just as you have been for the rest of us.

And Happy Gotcha' Day to Brando & Yin! Congrats!
