Evie is sweet....but not TOO sweet!

We had the test yesterday at the latest appointment that checks for diabetes related to pregnancy and we passed!  So yes, she is very sweet...but thankfully not TOO sweet or we'd need to add meds/watch our diet/etc....depending on what the doc said.  We also got the wonderful news we've been praying for that according to the doctors there is "no reason to believe" I won't carry Evie to full-term!  We will deal with whatever cards we are dealt because we know that ultimately the Lord is in control and as much as we love our girl, she was His before we ever knew about her, but we are very thankful that every appointment has gone so smoothly.  Initially we were told there was an increased risk for miscarriage, increased risk for growth restriction and an increased risk for pre-term labor, so far we have passed all of our landmarks without any concerns from any of the doctors!  Thank you all so much for the prayers, please continue to pray that everything goes as smoothly as it has been, we are so thankful for all of your prayers and support and so thankful for each week our little girl grows before we get to meet her!  


Here are a few pictures from the weekend...

Andy was clearly not bothered by getting passed from one person to the next...

This is Evie's Great Grandmother Flora (on the right in the pink) and her Great, Great, Great Aunt Esther (on the left in the blue and white).  We were celebrating Aunt Esther's 97th birthday party!



Here is the official "after" picture of Katie and I....as you can tell I have definitely outgrown her now!

Our next appointment is May 3rd, we have entered our 3rd trimester now so appointments are more often, I can't believe how quickly time flies!  Next appointment is another regular checkup, we appreciate prayers for continued growth of our girl!
