Okay, so I guess it’s exciting news to me but not so much to Heath. We had our growth scan today and had hoped that he’d have the same growth pattern as before and be at 5lbs. Not the case. He’s at 4lbs 6oz and we are at the 35 week mark. The doctor said he’s still showing 2 weeks behind in growth and since this has been an existing problem it would be in his best interest to deliver him at 37 weeks. The risks outweigh the benefits of leaving him in there longer just to gain a few ounces. The plan is for me to go to the hospital June 21st and they will induce on June 22nd. I’m so excited!!! I literally can’t wait to meet my little man and be able to hold him and know he’s ok. With that said, I understand Heaths concerns and why he would rather wait. Ideally everything will work out fine, and Addison will come in weighing 5lbs or more. The reason I say that is b/c if he’s at 5lbs or more and everything else checks out ok then he can come home with us. If not, he will have to stay at the hospital for a week or so to put on some weight. I’m sure all of you can imagine that you’d rather have your baby come home with you than leave him in the hospital. SO, fingers crossed Addison can have another growth spurt where he eats his Wheaties and we bring home a fat healthy baby boy!!
