Week 31 - Good

Jack is doing well, really well in fact. His heart, lungs, blood flow, brain activity, everything is normal. This is good. TH is flattening out some more, and Jack continues to outgrow it, and Doctors C. & K. are very happy with how things are progressing. This is good. We got confirmation today that yes indeed my beautiful wife will be delivering our little man by c-section, on or near Week 39, so this will put the big day at somewhere around May 18th. This is very good. We finally get to see our boy. This is very very good. Soon after that (very soon, we hope and pray) TH will be removed and we won't have to think about it anymore. This is the goodest of all (I know it's not proper grammar, but I have to keep the theme going).

Thanks for being a part of this with us, you've helped us so much. We owe you one, all of you.

Addendum (Jack's mom here): Incidentally, he now weighs 4 pounds. 4 pounds! Isn't that crazy? And, as we've been told the last few weeks: He has a whole lotta hair. Which, for those of you who saw his sister as a newborn, should not come as a shock. I just wonder if it's purple and yellow and brown like Abby seems to think it will be.

Good news! Very good indeed.

And May is a great month...I happen to know a fabulous little curly haired wonder whose birthday is in May, and she will be very excited to hear that she and Jack will share the same birthday month (she prays for Jack too!).

Middle of May is a great time to have a baby. You'll be able to enjoy the most beautiful time of year in Manitoba.

This is all very, very good.
