Burke is putting on the weight and we got some really awesome ultrasound pictures. He loves the camera already. -Sarah

So this week started our 2 a week doctor's appointments. One day we go to Freeway to see Dr. Wendel. They are doing a big ultrasound where they are checking my amnionic fluid. This past week I had plenty of cushion. My amnionic fluid was at a 16 which is really good. After the ultrasound they hook me up to the fetal stress monitor where they monitor for contractions, Burke's heartbeat and his kicks. I was having contractions on Monday but Burke was responding just the way he was suppose to. YEA! The doctors are wanting me to slow down since I am having contractions and for my mental health. I am totally fine with that. Thursday I went to see Dr. Sellers where I was hooked up to the fetal stress monitor again. All looked good. We will repeat every week till he decides to come. Since I have slowed down on work I feel so much better. I have been getting lots of rest

A few weeks ago Jyl called and said she wanted to do an ultrasound for us. Taylor and I were very excited but I was a little nervous. This whole pregnancy with Burke is following right along with my pregnancy with Mamie. As the days pass by I feel like I am starting to go crazy. Being due a week off from Mamie's due date just blows my mind. I know God has a wonderful plan for us but it is still so hard to keep your thoughts from wondering. We decided since our last ultrasound we did with Jyl for Mamie was 30 weeks we would switch it up a bit and go in on our 29th week. It was so great to see that little guy. He has grown so much and we couldn't believe how much he looks like Mamie did. He was so active during the ultrasound. At one point when we were looking at his little legs he bent them both and then kicked at the same time. Taylor said, "Wow babe did you fill that?" I had to laugh. It feels like he is trying to kick through my stomach at times. It was...

We had our big ultrasound the other week and I have been meaning to update you all. Sorry for the delay. First off I did pass my glucose test which is great news. To celebrate Taylor bought me a big snickers :) ha! just what I needed after drinking pure sugar water all morning on an empty stomach. I did have a total melt down at Cornerstone that morning. After drinking the sugar water I figured Burke would be bouncing around in my belly. I couldn't get him to move at all. I can't even begin to tell you all how scared I was. I rushed back to my nurse in tears begging for them to get the doppler out. Within seconds I was on the table as they rubbed the doppler across by belly. I was a total wreck. I just keep thinking in my head "I have lost another baby!" The nurse quickly found his heartbeat and everything looked and sounded great. I was SO relieved but couldn't pull it together. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry my heart out. Why? Why did I ha...

I love this precious photo of Burke at 21 weeks. He was blowing Taylor and I a kiss. Sweet baby boy. - Sarah

Sweet side profile. Look at him doing a front roll in my belly. His foot. A hand It's a boy :)
