Pregnancy Update, Week 16 and Some Change

It’s been a while since I’ve updated on the pregnancy…

Things continue to go well. We had to go to a cardiologist recently, because of Shannon’s elevated blood pressure and some periodic heart racing. Her BP is back to something more reasonable, praise God, and the heart racing they called a “nuisance palpitation.” In other words, it’s annoying, but ignore it because it’s nothing serious.

On the plus side, at the cardiologist, I got to see an echo cardiogram of Shannon’s heart. It was huge, warm, and beautiful, just as I always suspected…

As far as the baby, he/she (no, I’m not switching to the TNIV) has been pretty active. We bought a fetal monitor, but it’s a little early to tell if that sound is the baby, dinner, or that thing from Alien.

Shannon is also back to work now that the preschool has started back up for the year. Unfortunately, this means that she is more tired than she was before.

Please keep us in your prayers for Shannon’s health and the health of the baby. God bless!
