Here is Aubyn on Sept 2nd, at 16 weeks 4 days. She is defenitely showing with a tight shirt. Baggy clothes, you can miss it pretty easily. I'll post an updated pic although it seems like at 16 weeks it was over night that she changed to that size and since then its been slower. She's been feeling alot better lately. We've been praying that it continue that way. At week 20 we went for our ultrasound in Sioux Falls. It went great, everything looks good, heart beat was at 156 bpm again. The one down side to the trip was that b/c of Aubyn's auto-immune tendancies and roe anti-bodies in her blood, there is a slight increased chance(2%) that those anti-bodies passing through the baby could cause congenital heart block. They tested for it and it passed with flying colors but they want to keep an eye on it. They know that if they caught it early they could help it significantly with medication. At worst case scenario the baby would have to have a pace maker installed. So far each following appointment has gone perfectly though. They test the baby's heart valve each time and its looked good every time. We are praying every night that God will watch over the little one and keep it from developing this heart block. Every day we thank God for the blessing of pregnancy and are humbled by this opportunity. It is all an incredible miracle. Thank you all for your prayers. More to come later.
