Answered prayers

So I had another ultrasound this past Friday and we received some very good news. This was the second time that I went to a specialist. They usually have an assistant or nurse do an ultrasound first and then the doctor does one right after. The assistant looked at everything and said the baby was healthy and doing good and of course she checked the kidneys last. She said that they were normal. Well they actually hadn't changed in size since the last time I went in which was about 2 months ago. So the size that they are now is the normal size. There was just an overwhelming feeling of relief that swept over me. I started to cry. I just kept thanking Heavenly Father over and over again in my mind. It's been so difficult to think that something that I couldn't control was wrong with the baby and now that he's perfectly fine, I feel so happy and so grateful. I know a lot of people were praying for us, especially our families and we wanted to thank you all.
On the funnier side of things, the doctor pointed out the baby's hair to me and said that he already has a lot of hair. I still have 8 more weeks to go so she said that the hair would probably grow even more. Well at least we know that the baby won't be bald. Also he weighed in at about 4 lbs. 13 oz. and I'm measuring a week ahead. I'm not sure if that changes the date of my c-section or not but we'll see when I have my doctor's appointment this week.
Well I just wanted to update all of you with that. I hope that everyone is doing fine. Take care and we love you all.
