Sleep and a Movie
Hello and greetings to you all.
Not much to report today. Rebecca spent the morning sleeping to catch up on the sleep she did not get last night. She slept deeply and had no idea I left for a couple of hours to run errands, nor did the incessant clacking of the dog's nails as she paced over the wood floors or her random barking disturb her sleep. When she did wake, she organized her closets and dresser drawers. To get a change of scenery, we went to a late matinee (Olympus Has Fallen) and were two of six people in the theater. Leaving the theater, Rebecca suggested steak instead of our planned smoked salmon, so we stopped at the grocer on the way home. As I type, Rebecca is sleeping soundly while a news special about Margaret Thatcher plays in the background.
Xavier has been moving quite a bit today. We are greatly encouraged by this and by the growth of mom's belly. No notable weight gain for mom, but we see impressive growth in the shape of mom's tummy. We look forward to week 27 for Xavier!
Tomorrow Rebecca and Xavier have one of their weekly perinatal checkups. The appointment is early in the morning. We are watching a spring storm move into the metro area which is expected to be in full swing Tuesday morning, so that may cause our schedule to change.
The first weekly ultrasound is scheduled for Friday morning. This will not be a "growth" check because of the margin of error in the equipment, but will be looking at Xavier's overall health.
Always, thank you all for your prayers. Strong is our God!
