Well... I got home, then the next morning they called me and decided to put me on a airplane to Germany for more treatment... It's now her size they are REALLy worried about. She is less than the 3rd percentile. I don't know exactly what is going on other than I am re admitted in a hospital and waiting for my husband and son to get here :(

Sorry about how long it took to update... On June 15, we went to get the second scan to see why Josie seemed small... well...it's a mess. Fluid levels were really low, head was growing narrow, lungs probably not developed, she is breech and probably won't turn due to lack of room... ect. I was admitted to the hospital there on the 15, given steroid shots to help speed up her development for the fact the believe she will be preterm (I don't think so) and just got out yesterday... She is still breech, and her fluid levels are just barely in the range of normal. I will still have to deliver where there is a NICU via C section (unless she turns) because of the matter of wether or not her lungs did develop properly. That was the short version of everything.

A doctor from my OB clinic called me today and talked to me about yesterdays ultrasound. The tech talked to her about our baby being small for how many weeks I am so the Doc looked into it and I am still dated right, but the baby is just growing small. She put a referal in for me to go to a speacialist to have another ultrasound done to get a second opinion and then we will go from there. She says not to worry just yet, let's get the next scan done and see what they say. I am sure things will work out.

Well... still no luck with the ttc thing. I took a test and it was a BFN. Well, on a brighter note, Xander started sitting real well on Christmas Day. He is starting to try and pull himself up now and stand on his own. He sort of acts like he is thinking about crawling as well. It has been the biggest joy to watch him grow and figure things out. He is starting table foods and loves it! It is so much fun being a mommy!

We recently had a beautiful little baby boy and he is more than anyone could ever ask for. He is such a mellow baby who loves to smile and play. He eats and sleeps great. I haven't lost one night sleep! It's great. We decided that we would like to try again for another one... Yes it's soon, as our son is about to turn six months old in a few days... but I am so excited. I hope that we can have a little girl, but I would be equally as happy with another boy. I am excited for our hopefully soon to be new addition. We just moved to England so we are still adjusting to the changes, so what's one more@@!!!!

Hello My name is Christina Benedict. This is my first pregnancy and I am so excited. We are having a boy and we are planning on naming him Alexander Scott Benedict. Currently, my husband Scott is in Texas for the Air Force, some schooling that he has to do. He will not be back home until some time in October and he has been gone since March 4. He gets to come home for the 4th of July weekend, and we are praying that our son will be born early while he is here, but of course by this point aren't we all hoping for a little earlier delivery!
