SO THIS IS THE STORY ALL ABOUT HOW TODAY TWISTED EVERYTHING UPSIDE DOWN:
So ever since December 23, when we first met Dr. Adair and found out about the mass Levi has, we have always knew it was best to deliver in Chattanooga. Well today when we went the ultrasound tech lady could not find the mass. As soon as Dr. Adair came in he found it but it is very hard to find. The measurements were about .95cmx2.4cm. I am not sure why the length is longer. Anyways, it is hard to find and measure so he said he was okay with me delivering in Cookeville which immediately through my brain for a loop. We immediately jumped to…we would like it better if it was in Chattanooga. He said that would be fine and then he said he would like to schedule it at 38 weeks which will be March 30….(WOAH WAIT IN THREE WEEKS?!?!?) So we went with it and he said the nurse would call and get it scheduled.
As soon as we walked out, Joel knows me well enough that he knows I was in freak out mode…
1. Cookeville or Chattanooga?
2. How does that affect everything?
3. If Cookeville, who would deliver….we do not want a certain dr to even step foot in the room!
4. A week earlier, means go back to school for sure…
5. THREE WEEKS AHHHHHHH! (It makes it more real when a doctor tells you that!)
So for now it is scheduled for Chattanooga March 30 at midnight eastern to start the induction. However I have a book of questions for Dr. Cole on Wednesday to possibly change it to Cookeville. It will be so much easier in Cookeville but my greatest fear is that something will go wrong and they will have to take him to Chattanooga and I will be stuck in Cookeville…...
SO LIKE IT HAS BEEN IT IS A HURRY AND WAIT GAME!
MEASUREMENTS:
So they measure the head and SERIOUSLY 34 cm in circumference which was off the chart in weeks of greater than 37 weeks! They measure the femur and it is measuring about 38 weeks (I didn't look at exact cm.) and then they measure his stomach and POOF….that comes up with the estimate of 6 lbs and 14 oz ALREADY! When the Dr. came in he said look at those measurements….are you giving him miracle grow???? OH MY, not what I need to hear! I am hoping they are wrong! The Dr. also bragged about (and we have heard it at least 3 other times) how beautiful his heart is. I like hearing that!
Total amount of weight gained….25 lbs YUK but the last time I get to be fat and happy and not worry about it!
Well that's the update, so we will HURRY UP AND WAIT and see how it all plays out but in a month we will be a family of 4! (minor panic attack ensues and I constantly reassure myself, God owes me an easy delivery!) :)
I know all will go well and you will deliver a beautiful baby boy wherever you are. I am so glad to hear good news about him. Been praying for him!
