It is Wednesday. I have been here since Sunday now. I never quite know what’s happening with me from day to day. I talk to one resident and hear one thing, then an hour later the plan is completely changed. I could go crazy if I think about it too much. I think God is trying (again!) to teach me to give him my plans and my control on my life, and just follow His will moment by moment.
This morning, we had another ultrasound of Little Q around 10:15. He looks great! They say he’s measuring around 4 lbs., 6 ozs. (That sounds high!!! I take all those estimates with a grain of salt, knowing that friends have had ultrasounds “measuring” 2-3 lbs off the actual birthweight!!) But I’m encouraged–he will probably not be too terribly tiny! 🙂
She measured and measured as they always do, and said most of his measurements are at the end of week 31, but Little Q’s head is measuring at 33 weeks. I was not surprised. Mara’s head has always been in the 95th percentile.
The ultrasound tech gave me a little false hope at first, saying it looked like he might have turned. I was very disappointed, but the hope lasted only a few seconds, so I recovered quickly from my disappointment. 🙂 Unfortunately, his feet are still down and his head is still on the left hip and his rear end still on the right hip. (This is the “oblique” position, from which it is physically impossible to deliver vaginally.) We are praying he will turn and we can avoid a C-section.
Because of his position, she couldn’t get a good look at the face. But she gave me another picture of our Little Q. . . I keep wondering how soon we will meet him and how the timing of when we meet him will affect his little life. Then I wonder what we will name him! There are SOO many questions!
