Well, the good news is I will *not* be having a baby today. That means (a) I can go to a campus event tonight, (b) I can see LG in her Halloween costume, and (c) unless I go into labor spontaneously in the next two days, I will have made it to 36 weeks (yahoo!).
The other good news is that The Boy is still growing, albeit sl-o-w-ly (about 11 ounces in the past 2 weeks), bringing him to a slightly more respectable 4 lbs 8 oz. But...that places him at exactly the 10th percentile, which is the official cutoff for IUGR and the point at which my doctor uses the word concerned.
So...it seems pretty likely I'll have a ~ 5 lb baby at 37 weeks. Maybe it's time to get the crib out of the basement and pack a bag...
How awesome is it that you've made it this far. Hoping the babe " bulks up" for you in the next coming weeks, but even if he doesn't it sounds like you'll have a healthy, albeit, tiny baby boy! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh that is good (the growing, that is, and the 35 weeks and change). I know that early is scary, but you are well out of the scary zone now and just at small. And that is AWESOME. Very happy for you.
ReplyDeleteGwinne,
ReplyDeleteso glad you've made it this far and your little boy is still trucking along, growing, albeit at his own pace : ) so glad to see this post - you're gonna be a momx2...soon! (but not today - phew!)
