Lacey had her last appointment with her "high risk" specialist (which just meant there was a small deficiency in progesterone), and has moved on to her second trimester. I think we should throw a party. Anyway, she got to see the baby again yesterday, and taped it, so Dad got to see it too. It has increased in size from 9 mm to 68 mm in only about 8 weeks. That's a 750% increase! I know, I know, I'm a math geek, but if you stop and think about it for a second, it's pretty amazing what a miracle from God this covenant child really is. And for anyone that would even CONSIDER killing one of these precious children, I just wish they could see an ultrasound of the HEARTBEAT, or the baby sucking its thumb (which I got to see, even at only 13 weeks), before they made their horrifying decision. Please continue to pray for Lacey's health, and of course the health of the baby. She'll be having an appointment with her normal OB when we get back from Funroe (we'll be there from December 24th until January 3rd, so get your party hats on!), and then another about 3 weeks after that to determine the sex of the baby!
