2 months to go
I'm hoping anyone checking in to the blog is working under the "no news is good news" assumption. Sorry I have been so slack in updating this. We were at the hospital yesterday and all is well. The little guy's heart rate was great and all reports continue to be good.
The doctor asked Robyn if there were any things she was dealing with. She gave him the list... fatigue, nausea, discomfort... and he said "Yep. You sound pregnant" and we all had a good laugh. Oddly, it was nice to have our trials and tribulations dismissed as normal.
Baby's due date is Feb 3, so we are inside two months. He is 32 weeks gestation now. He was measured at 4 pounds last week, which is in the top half of normal.

Baby brother is doing well
We got the news we wanted to hear on Tuesday. The baby's heart rate continues to be normal (123 for those keeping a chart) and he continues to look good despite the reduction in the dose that Robyn is taking. They are going to reduce the monitoring to once a week from here on in. This is the best-case scenario and we are so thankful and happy.
His favourite trick is pulling his feet up by his head. He is a very active (and apparently flexible) baby. We got to see him suck his thumb and have a couple of big yawns in the 3D ultrasound on Tuesday. It is so incredible.

Through the window
These are some adorable pictures that Bamma Markle got one afternoon when she was here.
Dedication
Finley's dedication went well today. He did not seem at all phased by being up in front of all those people. It was a special time. It was great to have Grandma Hannah here for it.
Baby brother continues to do well. His heart rate was 126 at Friday's appointment and everything looks good. The OB on duty on Friday said that we are very fortunate... that in her experience, most SVT babies do not respond to digoxin alone. We are very, very thankful to be among the lucky.
Robyn has had a good few days. The reduction in the dose of the drug seems to have made the difference. We will find out this week if the reduction has been fine with the baby, too. We hope and pray that it is and that we can just cruise in this mode through the next 2+ months.
Below are two pictures from today's service, 2 others from Grandma's camera, and another 3D ultrasound of the baby's hand... the mind boggles.
