Monday was another good day. We went for the NST, that went well, baby girl was buzzed only once, and that was near the end so its getting easier just like Nurse Bonnie said it would. Then we went for our AFI, my fluid levels were good it was 18.6 so its hanging steady! PRAISE GOD! Here's our pictures from Monday, they are a little hard to see because Emma wasn't looking at the camera. Doesn't she know that her momma is a sucker for pictures, and MANY will be taken once she arrives!!!
This is her face, she is squishing her hand to her chunky little cheeks! EEEKKKS!
Here is her sweet foot!! LOVE IT!
And that brings us to today. GUESS WHAT... Emma hit her mark today on her NST without ANY buzzing!! WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!! Milestone met!!!!!!!!!! YAY BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact she did it 3 times when it was only required that she hit it twice! Today was also a growth scan day! So we got an extra long look at our sweet girl! My fluid level was good, 16.9, which is the LOWEST its ever been. We were taking bets as to how much Emma weighs.. (not real bets dont worry) just a little pool shall we say. Anyways, Peter guessed she'd weigh 5.8, I said 4.10, mom and a friend said 5 on the nose. So imagine our excitement when the tech told us that Emma weighs 5.8 pounds. HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!!! We were told to expect her to gain a half a pound a week which is another 3.5 pounds! Watch out world we have a chunker on our hands! But we're ok with that. We need her as chunky as possible for her surgery! Her vents measured larger then I would have liked to have seen, they were both in the 30's. I pray that they don't get any larger, although none of the doctors seemed to concerned seeing as her head has also grown comparably. We had a follow up with the doctor which was good. It was the same doc that is going to deliver our sweet girl so that was good. All in all a good day, alot of UPs and just one down. We have so many blessings in our lives and I just have to keep my faith steadfast that God is the ultimate one in control! Just a few prayer requests..a) that she stays put until March 25 and b) That her vents don't get any larger. I leave you with a few pictures from today!
Here is her sweet little face, looking at the camera
This is her beautiful profile
And again, her sweet foot!!!
at the end of the day this is what matters
Thank you all for your continued thoughts, and prayers. It is much appreciated!!!
