Life as we know it.

Tomorrow we go up to Piedmont for another ultrasound. Since Kimberly has high blood pressure her pregnancy is now considered high risk. This means, among other things, that they will give another ultrasound during late pregnancy. She is now around 36 weeks. At the last check up the doctor said that Ethan was head down and about 6 pounds!

This ultrasound is bittersweet really. The sweet part is that we get to see little Ethan again!! The bitter part is that they are doing this ultrasound to check for side effects of the high blood pressure. They will check out the baby and the placenta. IF all doesn't look well than they will induce her tomorrow. That's kind of weird. We go to the hospital for an ultrasound and could come home with a baby. Life as we know it is about to change.

Kimberly is feeling great! Thanks a million to those that have brought us food! Also thanks to all of you that have called her to keep her company or check up on her. She definitely appreciates the phone calls. She can do small things around the house for short periods of time so she's not totally confined to the bed. She doesn't go anywhere though. Just to doctor's appointments.

Below are some pic's of Ethan's room. Enjoy!
