    We have a tradition. Dad stays home from work. We fix the birthday child's favorite meal and cake and ice cream.
    So that is what we did. Grilled beef  hotdogs and angus burgers, had his favorite chips and I made homemade chocolate cake and homemade chocolate icing.

  • Jesse's Dr Visit

    He's growing well. Jesse weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces when we left the hospital Friday morning.
    Today he weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces and he is 21.5 inches long.
    He is healthy and plumping up very well.
    He does have a severe case of baby acne and the beginnings of cradle cap.

  • My Lucid Update:

    Jesse has completely turned into proper position after prayer on
    Sunday, it took a couple of hours, he tucked his head and chin down and
    now has his spine on my left side.
    We went in Monday for our ultrasound and nonstress test. The ultrasound
    indicated that the amniotic fluid surrounding him is getting low and
    the placenta is aging. Baby looks well and he makes breathing movements
    like normal for fullterm baby. His heart rate is a little faster than
    it has been, but they are not concerned.
    My blood pressure is high for me, but still "normal".

    We have been scheduled for an induction Wednesday morning at 7am at
    Presbyterian Hospital main downtown. The doctor said I could wait and
    be monitored 3 times a week with more stress test and ultrasound to be
    sure baby is okay, but Ronnie and I have decided to go ahead with
    induction especially since we are overdue  and we don't want to take
    chances of Jesse's health being compromised waiting on natural labor.
    Our prayer is for a speedy uneventful delivery. We pray for the
    induction to work so that surgical delivery is unnecessary. We pray for
    God's hand on my and Jesse's health. We want to make it through the
    induction without event.

    I will try to update everyone as soon as possible. I will accept text
    messages to my cellphone or calls if anyone feels God wants them to
    pray with me or my husband Ronnie.

    Please keep us in your prayers as the Lord leads and pray for peace and
    good rest for me, as currently I am a miniature(haha) bundle of nerves.
    I'd like to rest well tonight and go into hospital well rested.
