Well, Its finally coming to the end. I will be 36
weeks on Sunday. We went to the u/s again on
Tuesday and things are doing well. He is still
passing the biophysical exam and his doppler for his cord is good flow. He is breathing still and
growing great. Measuring about a week behind
but that isn't too bad. One of his kidney's did move up though which is wierd but its ok. I am not
letting that get me down. I guess if they have to pull the other organs down they might as well do this one too. The liver and bladder are still down so we are thankful for that.
I am torn though, because for the past however long I had been set on getting induced at about 38 39 weeks but something is pricking me to
just wait. I was induced with my son and I
didn't really know what it was like to just
naturally have him, water breaking unexpectedly etc. so I don't know. The docs have said that
the longer he is in there its better because it stil giving him time to grow and better for his lung. The hospital is like 35 minutes away and that is with no traffic. I worry that if there is traffic it might be bad but it could be ok. My due date is Dec. 11. So, Do I wait or not? I do believe that the doctors probably will prefer me to wait, so I will ask him when I have my doctors apt. on
Thursday. I really do think its probably the best. As far as how I have been feeling, I am ok.
Not feeling great but just normal stuff. Can't
sleep good, can't breathe, pressure, braxton
hicks etc. But, feeling overall good.
Anyone have any thoughts on me being induced as opposed to just waiting for him to come naturally?
Let me know your thoughts...
thanks,
Julie

    My Julie,
    It's so hard to say whether or not you should wait. I will say, that when we were at Children's Hospital- Boston, I put all of my faith in Liam, God and Liam's doctors. I put my hands up as it to say, "Jesus, take the wheel and Liam, take the reigns." I'm very much a control-oriented person, but in this case, I know it was best for me to surrender all control and leave it up to the powers that be- God, Liam and his doctors.
    I continue to think of you and pray for you every second of the day. Please take comfort in knowing that my Liam is watching over Bryson and keeping him safe!
    Take care, be well, keep you chin up and your faith in God and Bryson!
    With much love and hugs,
    Jade
