29 Weeks!

What a crazy and stressful last four weeks it has been! About two weeks ago Chris and I went in for our second ultra-sound to see what was causing me to be measuring big...luckily everything seemed fine and I was measuring on schedule again. The bad news was that our little girl wasn't quite measuring where she needed to be. Her abdomen was measuring about two weeks behind everything else. Our doctor was concerned that my placenta wasn't healthy and wasn't giving her the nutrients she needed causing her to lose weight. Of course this made us extremely nervous and unsure of what was going to happen. Our doctor set up an appointment for another ultra-sound with a specialist from Salt Lake and said if things hadn't changed in those two weeks, I would have to be monitored each week and would more than likely have to be induced early. This really made me upset...I knew if she came early she would have to be NICU for awhile and could be very sick, which was the las thing I wanted for our little girl.
So today my mom and I went up to the hospital to meet with the specialist(unfortunatly Chris had to work today and couldn't get it off). I was extremely anxious! We had the ultra-sound done and the specialist looked over all the measurements. We were extremely excited to find out that everything looked great! She had caught up on all her measurements and looked healthier than ever. He said she could have just caught up or that the measurements two weeks before were just a mistake. I felt so blessed that everything had turned out okay. She was weighing in at about 2 lbs 14 oz, which is great for this point in the pregnancy. I can't believe she is almost 3 lbs!! I couldn't be happier or more relieved to know that she healthy. Only 11 more weeks til we get to meet her and I'm so excited!
