So the other day we dumped out all the diapers, wipes, and linens out of this cupboard and climbed in to see just what it's like inside a cupboard. Then my little brother Lucas has been doing so good going to the bathroom, one day I thought I'd give him a little moral support and hold his hands. In the past two and a half weeks Lucas has only pooped in his diaper twice! What a big boy. My mom isn't potty training him yet, he just takes the initiative and does it himself. He gets a treat every time. Oh and the other day my mom was busy at the computer so we snuck in her room and got into the jar of buttons and bag of fiberfill and had it strung around in little tiny pieces. My mom wasn't a bit happy about that one, so there's no picture to prove it. Lucas and I sure have a lot of fun together.

I finished my last session for swim lessons. I successfully passed onto Level 2. By the time I was done I could swim half way across the pool half ways putting my face in the water more than half the time. I also beat everyone down to the deep end when Mrs. Cindy put on our little life vests and let us go. I really liked going.

I had another ultrasound to look at the anatomy of the baby and all results show that he is perfectly healthy. As I sat in there yesterday and as I've had happen numerous times throughout this pregnancy I just felt the spirit so strong witnessing to me that this baby and the fluid returning to normal is a miracle in our lives. It's been a humbling experience and I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord.

They will keep a close eye on the baby, but now will focus a little more attention on my health watching for any signs of pre-eclampsia. I'll start weekly visits at about 28 weeks to monitor my blood pressure more closely and then will be delivered a week or two early as pre-eclampsia becomes more of a concern the closer I get to being full term.
