Last MFM Appointment....We hope :-)

Her scalp is still forming
Her little eyes, nose & mouth are too cute
Look at those tiny fingers

We hopefully had our last MFM (Maternal Fetal Medicine) appointment this past Monday, June 15th. We had another cervical length ultrasound & the length is 3.5 :-) Which is wonderful!!!!! We were worried that it would be lower since I have been back to work, but I have still been "taking it easy" after work. Doing a lot of sitting, laying on the couch & pretty much being a bum. For those of you that know me...I'm not good at sitting still & I hate not doing things around the house, but the baby is worth all of this :-)

So, the appointment was great...we are at 3.5, the doctor we met this time was Dr. Melone. She was really great & helpful. She said to continue working, taking it easy, no lifting, housework, running or standing up for long periods of time. The doctor does want us to have cervical length ultrasounds until 26 weeks along. We are now 22 weeks along (time is sure flying). The great part is that I can have the ultrasounds done at my work place. Saves me time off work & all I have to do is clock out & get an ultrasound. We like going to my work, because we get more pictures & get to take longer in the ultrasound to get just the right pic of Jordan. The benefits of working at an OB/GYN office during pregnancy. Love it!!!

Not a whole lot else is new with us...Nate's been on vacation this past week. He was supposed to go to Lake Chetek, WI w/ his family for a week of boating & fishing, but his parents decided to cancel the trip due to our stuff going on & Nate's grandfather. For those of you who do not know, Nate's grandfather has stage 4 cancer. Nate is extremely close to his grandfather, we are just enjoying the time we get to spend with him. We are praying things turn out in our favor. All of your prayers would be appreciated.

Well, we hope you enjoy the pics of little Jordan :-) We are calling her our little monkey, because I think she looks like a monkey w/ her small hands & fingers. Plus, I love monkeys. Haha. We have our next ultrasounds every Monday until July 13th....so, I'll be informing you all every week. Thanks for all the prayers!!! They definitely helped ;-)

Love xoxoxox,
The Helgerson's
