Thank God for the many answered prayers!

If you try really hard, you can see the left side of Logan's face and his left arm in the air.
We (William and I) believe this is his left leg and left foot with the arrow pointing to his parts (why they keep pointing those parts out, I don't know, but am thankful they are there!)

Our visit today (25 weeks 2 days) was very successful! Well first we got there WAY early (appointment at 8:30am and we got there around 7:30). William came straight from work and I left at my normal time, allowing for traffic... Guess we were way too eager and prepared... so, we met at McDonald's for breakfast (the fanciest McDonald's I have ever seen!) and then went over to the office around 8am. After getting there, appt at 830, we waited and were not seen until 930am! (He is usually not late but the admin forgot to schedule me for an ultrasound so besides the normal being behind, I had to wait on one of the other doctors to be finished with the ultrasound room. I have come to the conclusion that they let you wait as long as possible because they know you won't be upset when you get to see your bundle of joy for 3 seconds. So, wait one hour and get rewarded with the 3 second peek inside your belly!) But it was good, Logan looks good, and the amniotic band is gone! He said they are so rare that there has not been much research on them, but since mine was near the edge it is possible that he could have kicked it enough and it randomly got out of the way... so that is really good news and goes to show that God really does answer prayers (if you had doubts about that before)... So, here we are not quite as far along as I had thought (they keep changing days it seems) so my next visit will be the 29 of July and I will be around 29 weeks ... they are doing yet another glucose/ gestational diabetes test so that will be fun! (they did one at 20 weeks and I failed the 1hr and passed the 3hr) I get to drink yummy syrup that makes you feel yucky and wait an hour! YEA! I had originally thought that I would at least have some leave built up for maternity leave (as opposed to having to take my short term disability like I am going to have to which means I get 60% of my pay instead of 100%... but I will definitely take 60% over 0%!!!) but I didn't realize how many doctor appointments there would be! They are at least once a month and I am about to start twice a month, then once a week then (if I go that far) twice a week! So, I am definitely having to take leave a lot more than I had thought... but I am just thankful that I have it and guess we will deal with paying bills on 60% pay once that bridge gets here! I know God will not only take care of William, Logan and I, but he will also provide and never gives us anything we cannot handle...
