Melanie Update

Melanie was taken to the "big city" (Ft Worth) and had some tests done. The baby is perfect. Everything looks great. Melanie does NOT have too much fluid, just a big baby. Mei-Ling is about 3 1/2 pounds at nearly 29 weeks. Melanie is home now and resting.
If she can hold off delivery until 34 weeks, she can have the baby locally. Anything before 34 weeks, she will deliver at a bigger city hospital.
Now, we need to find a way to keep this girl in bed...that should be fun. She is all worried about packing and moving etc. We have just told her not to worry, we will all pitch in as a family and do it all for her.
Our prayers are being heard.

Glad to hear that the baby is fine - every week that goes by now is a small triumph. We went through this also with Francesca from the 26 week stage, she made it to 35 weeks though none of us thought she would. I'm sure that emphasis on 'for the baby's sake' will encourage her to take all the rest she needs - plus a large pile of books,knitting supplies and embroidery silks etc. I feel sure that both your daughters can knit and embroider:)
