Another visit!

We've just come back from another of our weekly visits to Addenbrookes. It's starting to feel like part of our normal routine now! They were just looking at Clare's fluid levels this time which have gone down again slightly. She's had a quieter week and I think this helps with the fluid/pain levels. We have a growth scan next week so we'll let you know how that progresses.

Our consultant in Cambridge is excellent and very friendly. He's been most accommodating about appointment times because I'm trying to minimise time off work. We feel very blessed to have this level of care. He seems to think that Clare could well go to full-term. He has said he will induce her at about 39 weeks if she makes it that long.

Clare also spoke to a lady called Jan today, who lives very near to us and goes to a local Baptist church. Her daughter, Kara, has Achondroplasia as well and we're going round to see them next week. Kara was delivered at Ipswich hospital so that should give us some more insight into how the whole process works.

So overall, we've had a very positive day! All these things continually convince us that, despite adversity and problems, God is in control of all situations.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8 v28
