So for a pregnancy update, since I am so good at it...
I am scheduled Nov. 23rd to be induced! Ahhh! I am not sure I am mentally ready! What have I got myself into? No...just kidding I am truly excited and feel completely blessed that things have gone the way they have. Back at around 20-24 weeks it was determined that the baby was IUGR or Fetal Growth Restricted. Which means the baby has measured small for gestational stage. He was measuring in the 13th percentile. And for some reason wasn't getting the nutrients he needed to grow as big as normal. Don't let that fool ya...I have gained the weight just didn't go to my baby...just my back end! :) The past months have been filled with 2-3 specialist and obgyn doc appointments, each week. Which has made for some busy months. I am however very grateful for the medical knowledge we have. My specialist wasn't sure I was going to carry as far as I have. Growth Restricted baby's do fine once out of the womb but the restriction is somewhere between the placenta and what not. So I am just happy that I have got this far with the baby continuing to grow as much as he has. The baby looks healthy all organs and such. We are just going to have a peanut. I keep thinking the baby is going to fool the docs and be big...better not I need to use the cute preemie clothes! No I'd rather have him big and healthy. So we will see! My specialist has advised that it is time to get the little guy out so he can grow big. So we are schedule to be induced this Monday the 23rd. Thought I would share my exciting news. I am a chicken for pain and needles and blood and ahhh...I can't wait to have our sweet baby here and healthy!!
