And we wait..

So we had another non stress test and baby is stress free ( I wish Mommy was too..) 

His heart rate looked awesome and they said everything was good so now we wait. 

I have an ultrasound and NST every week so we will keep you posted! 

Still looking at taking the baby from 37-38 weeks (Feb. 23 - March 1) 

Why yes, the 23rd IS my birthday. Boy you are already stealing my thunder! It's okay, you

 are worth it.

And that's life. People keep asking how I am going to have a baby in the middle of the semester. My answer - I have no idea. 

Just take it one week at a time, one day at a time, and sometimes one hour at a time! 

Can't wait! Keep the prayers coming. 

Well...

Welp, Ladies and Gents - 

Went to the doctor today. I am 32 weeks. As some of you might recall in the last post they said  that they would have to take him 36-38 weeks. 

Well I went in for a non stress test, which basically tests the babies heart and his reactions to movement - at least that's what I think it does. 

Doc said I have a stubborn baby! He wouldn't move! He kicked me the whole day before and then after they took the monitor off he kicked me forever! Dang boy. So they had to do a BPP or Biophysical profile. This tests his heart rate, fluids in the placenta, breathing, and movement in the limbs. 

Luckily, he kicked me the whole way through AND practiced his breathing! Good job, big boy! 

They didn't really see how big he was, they just eyeballed it and said that he looked fine for his age, just a tad bigger than normal. 

SOOOOOOOOO What does all this mean? Well not much, they couldn't tell too much. They said that it would be more like 37-38 weeks now so like February 23 (yes, that's MY birthday!!) - to March 1st, and a little later if he is doing really well. I wanted to narrow down the dates, but it didn't really work. 

Keep us in your prayers! 

Baby boy!

So while we were home we got some pictures taken from the one and only Patricia Howell!! She is the best and soooo talented! Thank you so much, Trica P!!

Well folks, we got an update last week from the doctor about baby Morgan.

Seems he may be coming a little earlier than we thought!

So because of my diabetes he is gaining weight pretty quickly. That's not necessarily the problem - the big problem is that the longer he stays inside his toxic mama the more likely he is to have damaged organs and all sorts of problems. 

What does this mean? 

Well, I'm glad you asked. 

That means that baby boy will be making an appearance sooner than we thought!

How soon?

Well I am 31 weeks and they said that they would take the baby between 36-38 weeks. 

Why yes, that means Between February 17 - March 1. 

His original due date was March 15th.. so yeah that's a lot sooner!!!! 

He's doing fine now, he's in the 87th percentile for weight and his heart beat was great. 

So now.. we wait. We see how things are going, and we pray.

All prayers are appreciated!
