I haven’t typed in here in a while and have many updates and
pictures I’d like to share with everyone!
As of March 10th we are going to the Dr every week now, and
on the 14th we went to the new Baby Glance for some 3D/4D sonograms. Of course Puff did not want to cooperate with
us, she had both of her chunky legs up in front of her face, and her arms
crossed behind them right in front of her face as well. We got a few good pictures, but not too many
that we could see her face fully, I’ll post some of them below.
We also went back and saw our high risk Dr on March 18th,
to get his opinion on when we should deliver, for those who don’t know I have a
“classical” or vertical cut on my uterus, where as a normal c-section uterine
cut goes horizontally. Because of this
every pregnancy I will deliver via c-section and I cannot have contractions due
to the increased risk of possible uterine rupture. He still suggested that we deliver anywhere
between 36 wks and 38 wks (the closer to 40 wks I get the increased chance of
labor). We also got a good scan of her,
which the sonographer said everything with her looks great, and everything has
developed perfectly! We also got some
more 3D sonograms from them, and after trying for some time got some good ones
of her chunky little face. Chris and I
agree that she def has my nose and cheeks, and she’s got daddy’s big lips. According to her measurements at that time I
was 32 wks, and she averaged 34 wks, and according to measurements could weigh
5 lbs 7 oz, which puts her in the 95th percentile for growth. When we went to see Dr Martinez on the 10th
when I was 31 wks my fundal height (the measurement from the pubic bone
to the top of the uterus) measured 34 wks as well. Which that just means that there is a big
possibility she will be a larger baby, and could be around 8 lbs at birth, which
I was 7 lbs (not sure how many ounces) and Chris was 6 lbs 11 oz at birth.
We went back to see Dr Martinez on March 27th to
discuss what Dr. Maher suggested and when we would most likely deliver. As they
both said we would shoot for the middle of 36-38 and go with 37 wks which I am
37 wks on the 19th, the day after my birthday. Dr Martinez had said most likely we will
deliver on either April 19th or April 20th, which I know
the 20th is Easter this year, and it’s also my grandma’s birthday so
that would be a pretty cool day for her to be born. She would share my grandma’s birthday, and
she would share Chris’ granny’s name for her middle name (Allie). We don’t have anything set in stone just yet,
but we are going back on April 1st and I’m guessing we will have the
day scheduled for certain by then.
With around 3 wks left, its def getting more surreal that it’s
going to be no longer be just Chris and me for the rest of our lives. We’ve been together for 8 years, going on 9
in June, and its different to think how everything’s going to change, and will
be such blessing. We never really were
able to get to have this feeling when pregnant with Chloe due to us just
enjoying her pregnancy and here being with us for as long as we could. And even though I’m nervous and know it’s
going to be tough in the beginning this journey we’ve been on, from Chloe’s
pregnancy to Puff’s pregnancy, have been such blessings for us, and something
that have helped to mold Chris and I for the better.
Puff at 32 wks, def has her daddy's lips!
