Tests & Such

Thank you all for your prayers! My lab results came back today (via the nice nurse at Maternal Fetal Medicine who got them faxed), and everything looked good! I was a little elevated in one area concerning my kidneys (?) but protein and blood was good.

My NST Test was also excellent. I hung out with my Mom and Dad, and my blood pressure looked great and Baby is super healthy. Praise God! Now Baby just needs to come...soon...:). I have a Doctor's appointment on Thursday afternoon, and I will post an update.

Yay!!!! So are you still bed-resting it? Or are you allowed out and about?

I totally remember the feeling of wanting that baby OUT, *NOW*. Just hang in there and picture the little lungs maturing so that Baby Bowers can scream as loud as Calvin. This is a much better option than them not working very well...just buy earplugs.

We love you guys!

Thanks Mo :). I am still on bedrest - but I can do some things around the house and go out for thirty minutes or an hour, but it must be followed by rest and reading. I just started Austen's "Persuasion" and loving it - I've never read it! I'm also reading Ted Dekker's "Black," trying to finish D.A. Carson's book on prayer, and reading Swindoll's book on parenting. Good times. I might also start scrapbooking...

The only reason my numbers are good, I think, is because I've been taking care of myself and not being stressed by my students :).

Our child will not scream, developed lungs or no ;o).

I miss you Leila, I really do and I am so rejoicing with you that you and baby are doing well. PRAISE GOD!
Grant would love to share his birthday, May 10th with the wee little Bower baby, wouldn't that be cool!
Be good!
Love you, Teresa
