Edith & Ham Baby #2 Update

Hello Family!

I just wanted to fill everyone in on the latest with Edith & Ham Baby #2.

Edith went to see the doctor last week. She is healthy in all regards and the doctor is happy with her growth. Her stats are; height - 28 5/8", weight - 19# 8oz, head circumference - 17 1/4". Edith is crawling around quite easily now and has started to pull herself up to a standing position. She jabbers a lot and still has a ready smile. The front, top two & front, bottom two teeth are still where she is at for teeth. We continue to introduce her to more and more "adult" foods at lunch & dinner and she seems to like everything we give her. She's a lot of fun and we thank God for her.

The same doctor appointment for Edith was for Stacy & baby #2. Stacy has been healthy and sickness-free for this pregnancy, as she was with Edith. Praise God! Baby #2 appears to be healthy and growing well. The doctor, when trying to listen for the heartbeat, was having a hard time keeping it in one spot. When checking Stacy's uterus, she said that it seemed a little high. These two things may end up meaning nothing, but she said there is a possibility that we may have twins. We're not getting too worked up just yet. We will have another appointment in 3-4 weeks, with an ultrasound shortly thereafter. So, we'll wait and see what that reveals. ;) Needless to say, we're eager to get to that ultrasound! :)

We're so thankful that God has blessed us with a healthy, happy family! Without His love and guideance, we would be lost and unhappy. We are amazed at how He continues to work in us and through us and pray that He will continue to look favorably on our family and give us peace. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Love,

Joel, Stacy, Edith, and Baby #2
