First Haircut & Baby Update

Atley's hair was getting a bit shaggy around the ears, so I got brave and gave it a snip!

It's pretty good for my first baby haircut and he looks less like a girl, too!

As for Sorensen baby #2 (yes, she still remains nameless) we probably ought to give an update. I've been seeing the specialist for a little over a month to track her growth. It's been determined that she has IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction). The cause is unknown to us and the doctors. In the meantime, they're going to continue to track her progress in case things change. When I spoke to the doctor this morning, he said the #1 cause is that these babies are just small. There is a risk of prematurity, but since everything still looks good, Ian and I fully expect her to be born at term. The doctor also said this morning that the only reason they would bring her early is if her growth drops of significantly from where it is now so then they could help her grow from the outside. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for the baby and for our family. We feel very blessed and are confident that the Lord is watching over us no matter the outcome.

So, we're now making all the preparations as if nothing has changed because so far, nothing has! Our due date is still December 25, so we've still got well over two months. Though I must say, all these ultrasounds are really helping me get to know her before she's born. That's a privilege I didn't have with Atley. Needless to say, we're very excited to welcome her home, but we'll be happy to wait the two months until it's the right time!
