Good News

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and learned the results of my most recent bloodwork. Praise God the antibody levels have remained exactly the same and are very low. I go for another ultrasound with the specialists next week, but it would appear at this point that the baby is not being affected adversely by my anti-e antibodies. If all continues well and she doesn't make an early appearance (unlikely given my track record), she will arrive the first week of March thanks to my obliging doctor's willingness to induce. I would like to avoid another precipitous labor and delivery, and after birthing two large babies without one, I would very much like an epidural that lasts to the very end this time. Although I have slowed down considerably and have had to curtail many of my household activities, I generally feel pretty good, better than I remember feeling at this point with Davis, and am still sleeping quite comfortably. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. I'll continue to keep you posted on the situation as things progress.
