We had our first appointment today in four months, and Lily is doing perfectly! She's head down in the perfect position for a normal delivery, and she's 5 pounds 12 ounces, putting this little one in the 60th percentile for weight! 5 months ago she was underweight and I was underweight, and now, four months of rice, beans and corn mush later, she's just a round little thing with chubby thighs :) Our doctor was pleased with my health and hers, and it was a nice relief to hear and see that everything is just fine and right on schedule: due date...still December 26th, and predicted birth weight: right around 8 pounds.
Personally, I thought her head looked a little big, but that is probably just because I'm the one getting ready to deliver!
The secretary mentioned that her cousins worked in Haiti, only to discover that her cousins are our good friends in Port-au-Prince that just visited us last month, whom I lived with for seven months in college, Greg and Cathie! It's such a small world :)
Thank you all for your prayers these past months that Lily and I have had no medical...anything! The Lord's been taking care of us, and we know so many of you have been faithful in praying for our little family. 5 weeks!

Praise God for such a wonderful medical report. I know it was reassuring to see a medical professional and hear that all is AOK!!
It won't be long now, and I am SURE it is just your imagination that her head look a little big :)
Keep up the good job, take it easy, relax and do just a little extra sleeping - you are going to need it!
Love to all - Lori
