We Made It...

to full term!  Technically, a baby is considered full term if they reach 37 weeks.  We're feeling blessed that the "bun has stayed in the oven!"  Especially after thinking we were going to have to deliver at 20 some weeks.  (A doctor even told us he didn't think we'd make it past 22 weeks.)

We have no real news to report, but thought I'd do a quick update.  Baby Z continues to do well.  In the last few weeks, the mass has been stable. It doesn't appear to be getting smaller, but is staying the same.  The CRV has been measuring between 0.40 - 0.60.  (It has gotten smaller, but the ratio has gone down because her head has gotten bigger, too.) The doctors tell us the last baby to be delivered with a mass about this size came out screaming and is doing well.  That's what we're hoping for!

Every week, we see her continue to practice her breathing.  This is our biggest concern so it's reassuring.  Since our hiccup with her heart rate, that has been normal as well.

This weekend, we worked some more on her room.  It's coming together!  We've got such generous friends, family members, and co-workers that have helped us get ready for her arrival.  She's already a spoiled little girl! 

 

 We continue to pray for strong lungs and a safe arrival. 

Thank you for being part of our journey.  We're almost to the end!
