We went to the doctor yesterday (Thursday, November 20th) for our big ultrasound to see how Baby Emmel is doing. Everything looks great!!! The baby is 11 ounces and developing right on schedule. The doctor confirmed that we are still looking at an April 10th due date.
As for bed rest... I am still making a permanent dent in our couch!! The doctor wants me to continue to rest until the first week of December. We go back to see him on Tuesday, December 2nd, when he will make the decision to either keep me on bed rest or send me back to work.
Today starts Baby Emmel's 20th week... according to the baby books, permanent teeth are forming under the baby teeth that will eventually break through the baby's gums. The eyebrows are also beginning to grow. Baby Emmel has been moving more and more. Brad has even been able to feel the baby move!

Bed Rest.....
A lot has been happening since our doctor's visit on Monday, November 3rd. The doctor put me on bed rest for a week because he is worried about my body being able to hold the baby in for the length of the pregnancy. So, we went back to the doctor on Monday, November 10th. The condition did not worsen, but he would like to continue to take it easy.
Now, we are on bed rest on a week to week basis for about a month. The doctor would like to see us make it week 22 without any negative changes. Brad, Baby Emmel, and I will go to the doctor weekly for check-ups so that he can monitor our progress.
The good news is, as far as we know right now, Baby E seems to be just fine! Whew!! We are going for our full sonogram on Thursday, November 20th!! Yippeee!!!
Keep your fingers crossed that my condition improves! Again, Baby Emmel is just fine, we are just working on keeping he or she inside the belly for as long as possible!!
Right now, the baby is at 18 1/2 weeks.

Boy or Girl????
Many of you have heard that Brad and I are probably not going to find out the sex of the baby... but, here's a little info to keep you thinking...
I've had three dreams now that show we are having a baby girl. And what they say about pregnant dreams is true! They are VERY realistic!!
However, the famous Chinese Birth Calendar tells us we are having a boy!
Time will tell................ until then, have fun predicting!!
(As of today, Baby Emmel is 18 weeks!)
