Patrick and I saw the doctor this past Thursday. Our little girl weighs 3 pounds! She is so petite. We had all good news. Doctor checked all of her organs, blood flow, heart rate, brain, diaphragm, and breathing pattern. He says she is a very healthy baby of what we can see through the tests. She is just very small, and I am carrying her very low.
Thankfully, even with her smallness, I am very glad she is healthy of what we can see. The Lord is in control.
We will be induced the first week of April, possibly as soon as April 3. Wow, that is 3 weeks early. Her approximate weight will be 5 1/2 - no bigger than 6 pounds. Since we are traveling 1 hour and 30 minutes to the hospital, due to me being a high risk patient, Doctor and us have agreed it best for inducement, so we don't have the baby in our kitchen. With how low I am carrying her, signs are strong for me to go into early labor. Doctor believes she will not hesitate to slide right out (was his exact words).
We are very excited about having our little blessing a bit early and I am just in awe and thankful for her health.
I have been exercising faithfully, taking my vitamins/herbs, and eating healthy. Most importantly praying for good health. The hope that I have is good health from good daily habits. As long as the Lord wills it to be.
Praise the Lord for all He does and the wisdom only He can provide.

Baby :) & more
Hello everyone, still preparing for baby number four and only 11 weeks to go. Time goes by fast these days.
The children are looking forward to meeting their new baby sister, now that I am starting to look like I am pregnant. Colin keeps giving me little hugs here and there and the girls keep asking "when is she going to come out". In due time, hopefully not for at least 10 more weeks.
I put together a baby registry at www.babysrus.com . It is under Michelle and Patrick Seymoure. There are only 18 items on the registry and only 16 of those items we need. The last 2 are just baby Mozart DVDs. So if anyone would like to bless our family with a welcome baby gift, check out our registry so you know what we are needing. Even if it is just a gift card of a small amount, every little bit helps out a big bit.
Other than having baby on every one's mind, we all have been doing good. Patrick has been working hard at work and at home. He has been doing a great job taking care of my Dad's animals, feeding the dog, chickens, and peacock, then he collects the eggs from the chickens. He also has been on cat litter duty and him and I both have been making sure the wood burner stays full and hot. Every other week Patrick chops about 3 loads of wood, sometimes I help load and unload the wood, since I am not allowed to chop wood right now. The children have been taking turns to help Patrick with the animals. Kelsie and Lillian like to get the mail and the newspaper. Kelsie is doing well in school and Lillian is still working with her speech and bits of learning at a time. Colin is not wanting to be potty trained. Which has been a bummer for me and the rest of the family. He just does not mind being dirty. Ewe.
We are just living one day at a time, moment by moment. Trying to honor the Lord with our life and actions. Allowing lifes challenges to strengthen us in Him.
