I had my ultrasound today with the perinatologist.
Our little one is currently weighing in at 4 lbs 9 ounces.
Everything is still measuring around the 5th percentile but the perinatologist feels like it would be best to keep her in there a little longer.
Which could mean days or even weeks. Most likely around 38 weeks at the latest. Which is still 1.5 weeks away.
I will still have the usual 2 ultrasounds and 2 non stress tests a week.
These appointments are definitely getting old. I feel like I live at the doctor's office and like they are just waiting for her to show signs of stress.
Which I don't want to just wait, I want to get her out before she shows signs of stress!
But I do trust my doctors so I'm going to have to hang in there.
The news was a bit disappointing, mostly for selfish reasons. Like I can hardly wait to be done being pregnant and I of course am so ready to meet our little girl.
Yet on the other hand I really want what is best for her. And if staying in a little longer means no NICU and being able to stay with me and come home with me. I will do it.
There were a few tears shed today and there may be more shed in the coming days but I know that she will come when she is ready.
Which hopefully is sooner than later:)
For now I am just going to comfort myself by eating endless pieces of pie.
(I discovered Shari's Pies today and already have had 1 slice with two more waiting for me in the fridge!)
