Fetal Assessment

Still no baby.

But we got to see the little one again! On a black and white screen! I would have much preferred meeting in person, but that day will come I suppose. In the meantime, it helps to have some new pictures of the chubby little thing.

Went in for the fetal assessment this morning, was rerouted twice throughout the hospital and had to walk quite a distance to get to where I wanted to go. But finally, when I got there, they checked us out. And not only is my fluid NOT low, it's actually ridiculously high! The nurse was shocked at how much fluid there is in there! She told me to make sure I've got a mattress protector on my bed, and on the trip to the hospital to make sure I put some kind of garbage bag or something over the car seat, because of the water breaks on its own, there is going to be a LOT of water! :P What a silly trait to have.

She said that baby is totally healthy, has big chubby cheeks and long legs. Also said it's a good sized baby, around the 9 lb. range. Which she said is give or take two pounds (lets hope take!) which means it could be as small as 7, or as big as 11! Let's all pray that's NOT the case!

But baby had Matthew's nose. And Matthew's feet. And we got to see its little gums in its mouth, and see its lips suckling. 10 fingers and 10 toes as far as we can tell. So beautiful!

We have another fetal assessment ultrasound booked for Monday morning, just before going to see our OBGYN that day. And I guess if baby still hasn't come, they're going to figure out what to do with this little reluctant child. But there's no way we're going to make those appointments.

Baby is coming today, or tomorrow, or at the VERY latest, Saturday. And that's final.
