entering the final stretch

on friday, debbie and i went to the doctor to get another sonogram of caitlyn to see how she is doing. i'm happy to report that she is growing on schedule and is completely healthy! we were initially worried because we were referred to this dr because he is a specialist in the area of fetal abnormalities. when we had a sono of caitlyn at 20 weeks, our regular dr found a "bright spot" on her heart - indicating a possible problem. however, when we went to the specialist, he did not find the "spot" on 2 separate occasions!

as we enter the final 10 weeks of our first pregnancy, the nervousness and the anxiety level has increased tremendously at our house. we often fear that we will not be ready in time or that she will come early and have to stay in the hospital for a while (luckily not a baylor hospital!).

debbie is having her shower in a few weeks and i am sure that from that point on our home will never be clear of "baby stuff" - much like this bedding that will grace caitlyn's crib once she arrives. i know her aunts and friends from san antonio are looking forward to seeing a "pregnant debbie" at the shower, but i am a little worried about her traveling on an airplane at 32 weeks - i will be praying for her safe arrival and return the entire time she is gone.
