Well, we had both an ultrasound as well as a regular OB appointment last Thursday. I’m happy to report that there is nothing new!!! Whew, feels good to say that. I’ve gained about 8-10 pounds so far, and the baby weighs 4 pounds as of now. Next time I post here, I’ll include a picture!
Next week we meet with the pediatric “plastic surgeon”. From everything we’ve heard he is a fantastic doctor. He does amazing work and does work for kids in other countries - maybe even with Doctors Without Borders. We’re both looking forward to meeting him so we can get some of our questions about the cleft lip procedure and implications answered. With the doctor we’ll also get to meet the orthodontist who works right along with him.
So far, our team is GREAT and they seem to be in constant communication with each other after each of our visits. We go back to the OB next week and have another ultrasound at the end of the month. They’re still trying to determine whether or not I’ll need to have a c-section. The concern is that the little one may not have the necessary flexibility to ease on out of the birth canal without getting stuck! Stay tuned for more details on that.
We appreciate and are VERY thankful for all the great thoughts, prayers and everything else you’ve all been sending our way!
