35 weeks and counting!!!

I am now 35 weeks pregnant and had an appointment today with the OB at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. First off.. little hoss is now graduated to just hoss as he weighs.. drum roll please.... 8.2 pounds!!! seeing as how he could be in there another 4 weeks, I can't imagine what he will weigh at birth! We have set up an induction date of March 2nd. I am really doubting I will get there, but we are hoping to not have to do a C section, so if I go into labor earlier, it's okay. My amniotic fluid was still high, at 33, but they weren't overly concerned. The cool thing today was that Maxton had the hiccups. I assumed that since he hadn't had them yet, that his diaphragm was probably not big enough to have them (since that is what causes hiccups). During my ultrasound I could see him moving and feel it and was told that indeed- he had hiccups. :-)

Now on to the MRI results- Maxton's liver is completely down. The OB said that she had never read an MRI reports that said "entire liver is down". She said that this was very good news and from my research, I already knew this. I almost cried when she told me because I had prepared myself to hear at least part of it was up. :-) His small intestines, large intestines, and I think she said part of his stomach, not all, are in his chest. Thanks for all the prayers for Max. :-) I am still going to for BPPs and to see my primary OB but I will not be going back to the OB at Children's.

One last note- another CDH baby has been born, Joseph. Please keep his family in your prayers. His page is listed on the right.
