We went to the perinatologist bright and early yesterday morning. He wasn't giving me the best vibes when he was looking at the measurements of the baby. He looked concerned and like he was thinking a lot. He ended up saying that there was growth. The baby gained between 7 and 9 ounces. She was measuring approximately 28 weeks. He said he just hopes for us to get to 32 weeks (I am 31 weeks today), and if we make it to 32 weeks then he'll hope for 33. So, that is the perspective I have taken as well. Duke, the eternal optimist, is hoping we make it to 37 weeks (which is the farthest the dr said he would let us go). Obviously, he sent us home. He said he wants me to start seeing my o.b. every week as well. So I go see her tomorrow (Wednesday) for a non-stress test. Then I go back to the perinatologist on Monday 10/26. Every morning when I wake up and I am still pregnant I am so thankful. Every day counts for the baby, and it's one less day in the NICU.
I know that was great news, but I have some more... Cate's first tooth has broken through. I was checking her gums this morning and there was one broken through and you can see it. I guess she 's been working on it just in time for her first birthday. She's gonna need it to eat her cake. I can' believe she has a tooth. My little baby is growing up. By the way, if Cate had a cold and it wasn't just teething, she is on the mend. I hope we have more good news for you all next week. Thanks for thinking of us.

Okay, guys - I have a plan!! Since Cate was not able to make her own choice in the college football team she would cheer for (I know this to be true - or she would have had a husker uniform on), I am going to put it out there that perfect baby #2 be a HUSKER FAN!! If the Huskers win Saturday - then Duke HAS to agree to this. Cate, luckily, looks adorable in anything!! I still love her - despite her dad's faults!
Oh, by the way - GREAT news this week!!!! =)

I have been thinking about you guys and praying so hard for good news. This is wonderful! Every week, every day, you can stay pregnant is great!
Jayne, I remember doing the same thing. Every morning I would wake up and be so thankful for another day.
You all are doing great!
p.s. Dan is my eternal optimist, too. He always shoots for the moon and I'm always saying, hmmmm, well I hope you are right! :)
