Quick update on Makenley!

Had our ultrasound today. So far, no dilation or signs of preterm labor. She's head down, which is a good thing. Lots of practice breathing was seen. She's doing everything she's supposed to do, and weighs about 3 lbs 10 oz so far. She's perfect! We think she's going to look a lot like Phoenix. <3

Hi there! It's been a while since I've posted any updates. Not a whole lot has been going on that has been 'post worthy', but here's a little update on our family.

Bryce's health continues to be on and off again. He's been sick quite a few times over the past few months, but we're still seeing progress with the severity and the length of it. He's not getting nearly as sick as he was a year ago, and it's not taking him so dang long to recover. So, even though he's been sick more often than we want these past couple months, we're still counting it as progress and praying for even more progress.

We're now at 31 weeks with the pregnancy, which is typically the week where our babies like to make their grand appearances. So far, Makenley is showing no signs of coming right away, and all is going well. We are in the process of giving her steroid injections to help with her lung maturity if she does happen to come early. We get our last dose Tuesday morning. Wednesday we'll have an ultrasound, and a fetal fibronectin done (The test to determine risk of delivering in the next couple weeks). This pregnancy has flown by so quickly, and everyone is getting pretty excited to meet this little girl. We just want her healthy, and would love for her to wait long enough to come right home.

Here are some recent pictures of the family. Hope everyone is doing well!

 
Sierra threw us a surprise baby shower, and did an excellent job!
