NST

I had another NST today. Everything went fine! I got all my NST's and OB appointment scheduled until March 1st. Still need to schedule the ultrasounds, but it's a start :)

I also started my new position at work this week. It's going good so far. I don't have the access to the systems I need, but I've been sitting with other people and learning what and how to do the job, and it seems fairly simple. The management is extremely understanding and nice about everything. I let then know in my interview that I have doctor appointments constantly, and will be out for a while after Anabelle is born, and they still gave me the job! :) 

We also told Amelia and Allison awhile back that Anabelle is going to be sick for a bit after she's born, and she will need to stay in the hospital while the doctors try to make her better. Amelia asked if she was 'sick because she was throwing up?' I think that's the only kind of sick they know. 

It was hard. It is hard. They obviously don't fully understand what this means for our family or for Anabelle. Allison keeps saying that she wants to hold her, and when I try to explain that she won't be able to for awhile after she's born, she doesn't understand. And Amelia says how she's Anabelle's big sister and she loves her. :) It's sweet to see how they care and want to meet Anabelle, it melts my heart! 

As always, thank you everyone for your love, support and prayers! We are truly grateful! 

With love,
