Hello everyone!
I have some updates on our darling Kara. Pretty nerve-wrecking stuff, but Trevor and I are confident that everything is going to be ok. I had a doctor's appointment last friday and we found out that Kara is measuring very small - about 4 weeks behind, to be exact. This was determined by the ultrasound that my doctor gave me after the fundal measurement [length of baby, but taken from the size of mommy's belly] came out to be smaller than expected. Just after this ultrasound the doctor administered a non-stress test on Kara, which she then passed "with flying colors" and the doctor said she looks "fabulous". We also then went on to family history; and knowing that smaller babies run on my side seemed to solidify the doctor's confidence that everything was going to be fine. "Some women just make small babies" - this made me feel a *little* better, but the doctor still wants me to see a specialist, to ensure everything's relatively on track. Fortunately that appointment is tomorrow afternoon so our minds won't be wondering for too much longer!
That's all I have for now. Tonight we're hosting Kyle, Terri and Leon as they make their trek to Seattle and this weekend we're celebrating Zachary's birthday. Lots of things going on, we'll keep you up to speed with how the appointment goes tomorrow!

We know a little something something about small babies. I remember Nathan showing up 6 weeks early and barely around four pounds - now, just 15 years later, he's threatening to tower over me. Love, B Lynn
