Wonderful News…
We had our third ultrasound of the pregnancy to find out why Melissa was measuring weeks behind and by the grace of God the ultrasound was completely normal!! By ultrasound our baby is measuring about 31-32 weeks and that is just about where we should be based on dates (32 weeks and 4 days). When you measure Melissa's belly she still measures several weeks behind but its is wonderful to know that the ultrasound shows that the baby is growing well. Right now our baby is 3 lbs 14 oz! We got to see our baby's feet, hands and face to give us another preview of who will be joining us on February 19th, 2009. Thank you for all your prayers...we felt them when we got to the appointment because we knew that whatever we found out God was in control and orchestrating everything.

We've gotten to enjoy our first Christmas as a family with me away at work...not the most fun way to spend Christmas but Melissa and the kids were super flexible to accomidate my schedule. I'm now half way done with my internal medicine rotation and have got about a week and a half left to go. I was post call on Christmas eve but managed to get about three hours of sleep before we all went out to my mom and dad's house and celebrated Christmas a day early since I was working on Christmas day.
Christmas Wishes…
Merry Christmas wishes to everyone early since I'm not sure if I'll get another opportunity to post another message before Christmas because I'm on call the night before. I've been busy at work the last few weeks and thus very little time to devote to working on pictures or posting an update. I finished another rotation in the ER (my second month there this year) and have started three weeks of internal medicine.
