We're in Texas!

I realized how much I dislike moving, which could be an issue - Skylar being in the military and all. Moving is something that just comes with this lifestyle. It does feel good to be pretty much done with everything though. All of our boxes are unpacked and everything is pretty much put in its place. All that is left to do is hang things on the walls and really make this house a home. Brinlee's room still needs a lot of work but not much more we can do until we receive her crib and dresser/changing table. I am very anxious about that. I am ready to have her room decorated and be her space :) I already have her hospital bag packed and ready to go. I'm ready for her to be here with us.

On the subject of Brinlee - Skylar and I recently went for another ultrasound. During this ultrasound we were informed that Brinlee has a 2-vessel cord. This is rare and only found within 1% of women. Most umbilical cords have 3 vessels (2 blood vessels & a vein). Brinlee is missing 1 of those blood vessels. These vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to and from her. We were told that everything else looked fine on the ultrasound, she's just measuring in a little small in some areas. The doctor told us that usually as long as everything comes out normal in the ultrasound then she should be just fine. However; there are some serious risks that are associated with this. Most babies with this issue are just born small (this is what I am hoping for). To be on the safe side I will be going to the doctors 3 days a week until she is born. The doctor discussed with us inducing me early, but this has yet to be further discussed. I will be going in for lots of blood work this week and more ultrasounds to make sure everything else is on track with her.

I just wanted to let everyone know what all is going on with us here. I'm hoping everyone will please keep us in your prayers. We both just want a healthy, beautiful baby girl.
