We had another ultrasound today to measure how big our Reagan is getting , I would say our little Reagan but that is clearly not the case!!! We came in and Dr. Moore started with her head - which she is still head down - so that was a good thing - HOWEVER, as soon as the size of her head was on the screen - I thought my eyes might pop out of my head. I am technically 33 weeks - well her head is measuring at 37 weeks !! Then he went to her stomach which again is measuring at 37 weeks - so at least she is proportioned. He then checked again to make sure it was a girl (only because I ask him to do this every single time we do an ultrasound) and he said yup .. 100% a girl - no doubts! He then measured her femur which is measuring at 35 weeks. He said that everything looked good - she is just a BIG girl !!! He went over somethings about having her "naturally" - and how because she is so big she might get her shoulders stuck some how - and sometimes when they are measuring this big, that it's better to have a C-Section.
So - after the ultrasound - we went over and talked to the midwife (Lisa.. who I love) and she just went over some of the same things that Dr. Moore did - how C-Sections can be better on such large babies. She seemed kinda relieved when we both were OK with the idea. She had said how some women get so hung up on the "experience". I just wants best for her and myself... but mostly for her. The recovery off a c-section tends to be a little longer she said - but I'm sure that can vary from case to case. I have known people that are just fine afterwards.. so we will see. We have pretty much said it's going to be May 11th - but will know for sure on April 27th.... we go AGAIN for another ultrasound - and as long as she is measuring big still (which I don't see why she wouldn't be) - they will go ahead and set a date up. But, it really sounded like a C-section is in store for us !
I go again on the 15th of April - just for a regular visit - check her heart and measure my stomach again.. and like I said - we will go again on the 27th for a ultrasound! But, looks like everything is going good there -- she is just baking away and getting plump for her arrival.
Other then that - there is really nothing new to report. Mine and Dustins work are going good - Dustin will start softball next Tuesday the 7th!!! I'm sure I can post some pictures!! Thanks for reading - and hope everyone is doing good !!!!!
Reagan is a BIG girl!!!! Wish she hadn't kept her hands in front of her cute little face. Dustin, she has our little ears. Just think in less than 2 months we can hug and kiss her! I can not wait!!!!! Grandma Cookie bought Reagan a couple of dresses and some cute pj's (one of the pj's says Mommy and Me). Sometimes I am not sure who is more excited Mom or me-Okay it would have to be me! Let me know as soon as they confirm the date for the C-Section and Grandma Cookie and I will plan our girls roadtrip! Katie I will cook some things for you while I am there so you can rest. I am sooo in love with Reagan already. Don't worry Gizmo Grandma loves you too! Well gotta go-Love you three bunches and bunches!
ReplyDeleteOK I think I have finally figured it out. I hope this works, I am not going to post much since I will be talking to you and seeing Reagan all the time. We are all excited for the baby to come. I think we have everything ready, the house, the yard, the nursery. Only one bathroom to paint (if we are going to) and cushions to make for the outside patio. We want to see how much guam has grown by the end of the summer along with Reagan. I think her first summer picture should be in front of Miss Huff.
