Hi everyone! Here is the latest ultrasound photo. This time it's a silhouette and you can make out her nose, lips and hand close to her mouth. The ultrasound went well, it appears that the hydronephrosis is beginning to subside in her left kidney, though the right kidney is still affected. Lauren's heartbeat was 140 bpm and she was kicking and moving around just like a healthy baby should!We have been attending weekly birthing classes at Bartlett Hospital. They have been really fun and informative. Last week we got to take a tour of the OB ward which was recently completely remodeled. The rooms are huge and each include a jacuzzi tub and a view of the channel. We'll have plenty of room to walk around and work together during labor so that is good to know.
We're busy preparing for next weekend's garage sale. We've gotten Lauren's room all ready to go but realized we have lots of other spring cleaning to do.
Other than that, not much exciting going on. B.J. passed the online arctic engineering course he needed before he can take his P.E. test in October. B.J. and Nate are heading down to Seattle for a Dave Matthews concert in two weeks and are really excited to get out of town for a weekend. Don't worry, Ashley will have plenty of baby preparation (nesting) to keep her busy!
Love,
Ashley, B.J. & Lauren
