A New Estimated Date of Arrival

Our doctor's appointment yesterday went well! Baby is estimated to be 6lbs 2oz and amniotic fluid levels are at 11, which is within the normal range. We had a last minute substitution as our specialist is still evacuated to Houston and will be there until her home's power is restored, so we may be continuing to see the new doctor.

Our surprise for the day was this ... we have an appointment for an amnio next thursday morning and will have the results within the day. If baby shows any distress during the amnio, they will do the c-section right there and then. If not, we will have the results within the day. If baby's lungs are developed, she will arrive by c-section the following day!!!!!!

I assume all of this still needs to be approved by my regular doctor who I will see on monday morning. But if she agrees with the specialist, it looks like we will be parents within the week!

Exciting, but scary.... very, very scary!

  1. Yea! I can't wait to meet your baby girl! But make sure to have her the following day so your baby doesn't have Sept 11th as her birthday! ha! (This coming from the girl who got married on friday the 13th!)Congrats!
