Baby update

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.

I won't actually get to see you showing! :( You were barely starting to show when I left. When I get back there will be a baby to hold! Yay!
