Baby Update

Hello everyone,

I wanted to give you the latest update on the baby. We went to see the doctor on May 19. He did another ultrasound exam. Right now, the baby is already over 5 pounds. He still says that the due date is July 14. He predicts that the baby could weigh between 9 and 10 pounds!

At first the doctor seemed a little concerned. He thought that Melanie might have gestational diabetes, but the blood work indicated that everything is normal. He wants to check her every 10 days from here on out.

Melanie still has periodic contractions, but they seem to be within the range of normal. She is swelling quite a bit, which is bothersome.

We are hoping that she will be able to take things a little easier after next week, which is when school will be out.

Thanks you for your prayers. Blessings to all,
----Greg
