The latest on Selah

Selah is now 33 weeks along, and seems to be fattening up nicely. Today's ultrasound estimated her weight at 5.1 pounds, about a pound ahead of schedule. (I personally do not think that their estimates are at all accurate, but i am glad to see that she is not terribly small.) She measured about a half week big this time -as opposed to a week small last time (see what i mean? Unless she hit a major growth spurt....)

Top: 29 weeks

Bottom: 33 weeks

She definitely looks cuter, but that nose is STILL there! Anyone know where it came from?

Boring 2D pictures, sad to think this is all I have of the boys... and that most of us don't even have that of ourselves! you come to expect things after a while!

I refuse to move my hand- they really tried, but i was comfortable just like this! And then the tech went to get the doctor and I decided to wake up and party! (When they needed me still for the Doppler of the vessels in my brain. Ahh, I LOVE being in control!)

Mommy and Daddy's favorite picture. I look like an angel, sleeping peacefully. Just wait until I come out and want to eat ALL night long!

We have no real news from this ultrasound. (I go to a perinatologist, aka maternal-fetal specialist, high risk ob, all the same, for the ultrasounds). We thought that things were going well enough that this would be the last one. However, they instead decided to change them to weekly from monthly. (Major pain, can't take the boys without another adult, and Bryan can't take off every week to come with me... or he won't have any vacation when she gets here. So I have to find someone to watch the boys while I go...scary, I don't' know anyone here!) The doctor did not give any info on why they want them so frequently. The numbers came back at 50- I have NO idea what that means. He and the tech left to check on the numbers (kind of a red flag) and I was in the bathroom when he came back. All he told Bryan was that they were happy with the results but he wanted to see me every week now. (Bet the insurance company is REALLY going to love me!) This is in addition to my bi-weekly check-ups with my OB.

We hope that this doesn't really mean anything, there was some talk of maybe her breathing messing with her blood flow but that was between the doctor and the tech and not directed toward us. We are just going to keep praying, and be grateful that they are keeping an eye on her! I think it may have been enough motivation to get ourselves moving and get ready for her, in case she comes early! Weird thought as I have never packed my bags until they scheduled my inductions! (I hope she waits until after Noah's birthday at least, or that Elmo cake I promised him will probably turn into an ice cream snowman!) We appreciate your prayers, and we will let you know what they say next week.
