Hello Everyone,


Here are a couple photos from our most recent ultrasound on February 20th. The sonographer was unable to get good facial/body images as it's getting a little crowded in there. Baby Schutte appears to be growing beautifully and weighs approximately 3lb 4oz, and has turned to the head-down position. The doctor was able to see the baby's little arm in a 3D image. The right elbow joint is present along with a small portion of a forearm. There appears to be a sufficient amount of tissue covering the tiny bones in the forearm at this point. We are hoping that tissue continues to develop; avoiding the need for surgery after the birth. It is still unknown whether the elbow joint is a functioning joint or not. So, it seems like we basically wait and see.


Springtime is busy. Jay is getting his basketball team ready for the National Lutheran Basketball Tournament at Valparaiso University March 26th -29th. Baseball season begins this Saturday adding to his busy schedule. We are excited to begin decorating the baby's room in the next couple weeks!!

Oh Kim, your baby is beautiful!! Glad to hear all is going well. Now it's just a waiting game. Try and enjoy these last few months cuz he will never be in there again. You can send a kid to their room... but you can't ever send them back to the womb!!
Remember getting bigger and bigger is just all part of the package and fun. =)
