Baby Update

Still feeling great. Baby number two is a very active little on. It seem that he/she really wants to be awake right when I'm ready to go to bed. It's so funny, and I'm not kidding as soon as I hit the pillow little one is on the move. Connor was the same way. I just sleep right through it. I'll try to post some pics of a couple belly shots. I'm almost 23 weeks, and my belly is starting to poke out. I still haven't put on any weight, but the doc assured me that it was fine. My last appointment I was told that the baby might have a clubbed foot. Which is OK very treatable, but I have to wait to see a specialist. My appointment is May 14th. I have done a lot of research. I found out that it is almost 1 out of every 1,000 births a child has some kind of clubbed foot. Wow I just was shocked when I read that. The type that can be seen on a ultrasound is the most common kind, and is usually treated by cast and not surgery which definitely gives me a peace of mind. I would hate to see my little baby undergoing surgery. I guess they start treatment a week or two after the baby is born. I have put it in God's hands and I know that know matter what he will see us through anything. I really am praying if it is a clubbed foot that just casting it will be able to treat it. So that's about it on the baby front.

Connor is doing very well. We just got him a twin bed which he loves. The baby room is almost done. Evelyn just really needs to paint. He HE :-) Ryan wont let me do any painting, but I sure can rake and shovel my little heart out when he is at work. We are getting out backyard ready for a privacy fence. i am soooooo HAPPY about it because Con sometimes wants to play outside, and I can't always be out with him, so this way I can open the back door and let him play when i can't be out with him....I'm gonna love it. We are having a fencing party for those who want to attend, and YES you do have to work. Payment will be in the form of FOOD...and maybe some pop or kool-aid. Yummie..:-) Well that's about all in the Schenk household.
