Gratitude

I had another lengthy perinatal ultrasound this morning. This kid is already on track to be more photographed than Bella and I never thought that possible, especially with the traditional exponential drop in photo taking that happens with subsequent children.

What's the good word, you say? The word is GREAT.

Our boy is right on track size wise for his big 28 week marker tomorrow. His weight is estimated at 2, yes 2 and 1/2 lbs. That is the 50th percentile, right in line with his previous growth, right in the middle of the pack for all fetuses. There were no irregularities that would suggest he isn't getting what he's needing. His growth is nice and even all over.

My dopplers were also in the 3's like they were 2 weeks ago. Perfectly normal for the 27th and 28th week. Perfectly normal.

The doctor this morning even went so far as to suggest that perhaps I was a bit dehydrated on 2/7/07. As much as the rational part of my brain wants to go with that, I've got other feelings on the subject.

My thanks go out again to everyone who is pulling for us and praying for us.

Oh, and you want to talk about optimism? I've got appointments now through May. Wahoo!
