Baby Shower - Saturday, April 21st. We were showered with blessings for our new little girl... arriving very soon... Of course, if "she" turns out to be a "he", we'll be totally thrilled, exchanging some outfits and re-decorating the nursery in a hurry!
Yes, this is really "Us"... Baby and I waiting patiently for her arrival! I’ll be 36 weeks tomorrow. I’ve already carried this baby longer than any others, which is HUGE to me. Speaking of huge, I feel huge as I’m already measuring full-term and baby is already estimated at weighing over 8 lbs… we’ll see. I am scheduled to go into the hospital on Friday for an amniocentesis to check on Baby’s lungs for maturity. If her lungs are mature (surfactant is present in the fluid) then we will promptly go into the OR for a repeat C-section. If her lungs are not mature then we’ll still be waiting: a) to go into labor on my own – in which case a C-section will still happen upon arrival at the hospital or b) for Dr. Logen to return from his week off (May 14th) in order to repeat Friday’s process… My prayer requests are for:
- Peace and safety through all procedures. (I’m very nervous about the amnio – big long needle – and all that the C-section involves too.)
- Lung maturity, feeding/swallowing maturity, and temperature control for Baby.
- Obviously - safe and healthy delivery for Baby and me, with no complications for either.
- His perfect timing in all!
Thank you all so much for your prayers on our behalf! We’ll keep you updated as to her safe arrival and the answers to your prayers!
Stay tuned for all the details coming soon to this "blog-channel" right here, just for you!
