WE MADE IT!! I'm now "to term"!! Lily won't be born premature:):):)
That is the answer to soo many prayers! And to make it even better... I had my final Perinatologist appointment today and was cleared by this new doctor!! She scanned Lily and said that she didn't see any need to be worried about the pregnancy and all of the other issues the other specialist had mentioned before! So she gave me the option of knocking my None Stress Testing from twice a week to once a week and even stopping them all together if I was comfortable! But I think we'll just back down to once a week and be thankful for that! They measured her today and there was no doubt that she is growing great! She's measuring 7 pounds 6 ounces!!! And babies usually gain about half a pound a week at this stage! So we are looking at a chunker:)
I was so happy to be cleared this morning! I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to know that my little girl is doing ok! I can't wait to meet her!
There really isn't much to report besides that! I got few u/s pictures from the scan today so I'll post those for you:)
WEEK THIRTY-EIGHT
Your child's intestines are accumulating lots of meconium. Meconium takes on the role of being your baby's first bowel movement -- removing the waste that has accumulated.
She may have a full head of hair now -- an inch or more long! Don't be surprised if it's an unexpected color. Some blond couples have dark haired babies; some dark haired couples have red-haired babies; some couples have babies with only peach fuzz! It may just persuade you to take a closer look at your family tree!
Circumference of head and abdomen are about the same size for your baby. No wonder it's so hard to get a t-shirt over a newborn's head!
