Update for This Week

Well...We finally got to see Dr. Stewart today. The reason I didn't update this by Week is because he is pretty sure that my due date is wrong. He thinks that I am further along than we previously thought. Her head and bones are measuring bigger (which have nothing to do with the way Gestational Diabetes babies are bigger, that usually affects the stomach region making the abdomen bigger than the head leading to the heavier weight and the chances to get stuck), and there is a calcium deposit that babies don't get until 35 to 36 weeks in their knees, and she has them. He said she weighs 7lbs 7oz. and since she has had a consistent incline with no sudden jumps in weight that she most likely won't have that now. He is pretty sure we won't have to worry about c-sections or inductions because she is going to come on her own, and he thinks before Thanksgiving. She has dropped down and moved into position and is fitting just fine in my pelvis, and he doesn't think she'll be more than 10lbs for me to have her naturally. She turned a bit, no longer face up, and is facing my right hip so there is a good chance she'll turn more into position in a couple more weeks.

My new goal is to try to get her to stay in at least two more weeks, because then according to St. John Owasso I'll be 36 weeks and can have her in Owasso. Dr. Stewart told me to go to Owasso anyways because she is healthy, won't need a NICU and will be fine. He told me to take it easy, and to really listen to my body and what it's telling me. So if I'm up and walking and having contractions, then I need to not walk that much.

So, we are back to the big unknown of when baby is coming! We are pretty sure it won't be in December unfortunately, but she is healthy, ready to come out and will do so all on her own. All good news! This is what we've been waiting 3 weeks for, to have this information from the High Risk Doctor. My next appointment is next Thursday with Dr.S. and we'll be able to discuss what he said with her and what she thinks about it. We will also check my cervix to see how that's looking and do a Strep B test.

We may have a baby in a few weeks!
