baby update

Hey all! We had our 21 week ultrasound yesterday. Everything initially looks good, but our baby is on the small side. They want to do a fetal echo on tuesday to rule out any heart defects being the cause of his/her small size. It could be that we are just making a small baby. It could be the stress I was under. It could be the baby's heart. It could be another defect. Or it could be an inuterine growth restriction. We are hoping and believing that it's just a small baby. After the fetal echo, we will have another u/s (in 4 weeks) to remeasure him/her to make sure the growth is on track. Please keep baby Urban in your prayers as we go through this testing. We want him/her to be big and strong and healthy. Here's some new pics :)

Look at that face! Great straight on pic! And cutie profile too!

  2. Baby sure is cute! Gotta love all the pictures before they are even born. I am praying baby grows and the echo reveals nothing. All three of mine had IUGR and the boys are doing great with growing. Hope will probably always have growth issues, but I don't think the IUGR was a cause for that...it is her heart. You are all in my prayers every day!
