Jessica & Baby Update

This past Monday Jessica started feeling sharp pains in her lower chest region just above where the baby is positioned. She was in pain on and off all day long. Then on Tuesday it got a little worse as she was sick and in pain all day long. Wednesday morning she was in extensive pain so we called the doctor to see what the problem may be. He said to bring her in as soon as possible for a check-up, so we did just that. After checking Jessica and the baby, the doctor said everything looks normal with the baby but Jessica has acid reflux which is the cause for the sharp pains in the lower chest area and high blood pressure. He prescribed her medications for both and she seems to be doing a little better. Please continue to keep Mom and Baby both in your prayers.

On another note:
Originally the doctor said he was 75% sure that we were having a little girl. Because the umbilical cord was stretched between the legs he could not be 100% sure. However, during the check-up he double checked to assure us the sex of the baby and he said, "I am as sure as I can be." You are having a boy! So this time it is a boy...LOL! (We really won't know until delivery because he likes playing hide n' seek.) We will keep you updated as more information becomes available to us.

May God Bless You ALL!
