Update on baby boy

As of yesterday, I am now 32 weeks along, which means I get to start going to the doctor twice a week. I had an ultrasound yesterday to check growth and fluid and got a good report. They like the fluid to at least be at a 10 and we are at a 14, so that is awesome. Also, our little guy is measuring 2 days ahead, and is estimated to weigh 4 lbs. 4 oz., which is exactly what Addie weighed when she was born at 35 weeks! So, it looks like whenever we have this little boy, he will definitely be bigger than Addie was! That is definitely good news. I go back to the doctor on Thursday to go on the non-stress fetal monitor to make sure everything still looks good. I was told yesterday that at this point, if anything goes wrong (there is low fluid or the baby shows any signs of stress at all) they will just send me to the hospital to deliver. They said there is no reason to risk anything and the baby would be safer on the outside than the inside if there is any problem. We are all hoping that there will be no problems and we will make it to our scheduled c-section (which is Thursday, August 12th), but would at least like to be able to make it to 34 weeks, in hopes to avoid the NICU. Anyways, thank you to everyone who has been praying for this pregnancy-obviously everything looks great at this point, but we never know what is in store for the future! I will keep everyone updated.
