It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Baby Parker Week 30 Update

Well, we've made it to week 30 (yeah)! We had our appointment with our specialist late this afternoon. Overall, it went pretty well, from the standpoint that Baby Parker grew another 5oz. He is now 2lb 4oz. And while the growth is positive, it was not as much as we all hoped and on the growth chart, the little munchkin is back down to the 9th percentile in size. My amniotic fluid has also decreased (but this can change hour-by-hour). My vitals, along with the baby's continue to be strong.

The doctor did stick to the plan of admitting me to the hospital for constant monitoring. So I am at Northside Women's Center and pretty well settled in. Currently, they are monitoring our little guy, 24 hours a day. Now, not only can I feel his kicks, I can hear them as well!! So for now, we will continue to take things day by day and see how things go. It is too early to predict when we will deliver. Of course we hope to hold out as long as possible. Reece and I feel good about being in one of Georgia's best hospitals for maternity services and have already been impressed with the doctors (Neonatal Specialist) that we met with. But most importantly we take comfort in knowing that Baby Parker is in God's great hands!

I'll try to send another update if things change or when we know more. In the meantime, we continue to thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
