Just a quick update.

This is just a quick update to let everyone know that things are going fine.  We return to the doctor March 15th and may make a decision then about when we'll induce labor.  The baby is almost here and we have no idea what to name him...

I find this blog and all of the reader comments very interesting, as I was diagnosed with homozygous MTHFR after having a miscarriage 1.5 years ago. I have since given birth to a full-term, healthy baby and during that pregnancy, they had me, like your wife, on folic acid. This was a "just in case" measure, as my homocysteine levels were found to be normal. I don't know if you've mentioned it before, but I was wondering if your wife had elevated or normal homocysteine levels? So much is said about MTHFR in relation to miscarriages when in fact it is the heightened homocysteine levels in the blood that seem to contribute to it. I'm just curious because you don't really hear people talking about homocysteine.

I also want to say congratulations on the second pregnancy. Hopefully you come up with a name soon!
