We have had an eventful last few days! It started when I went to my normal 37 week checkup and was still measuring quite small for how far along I was. The Dr. sent me for an ultrasound to check the baby as well as the amount of amniotic fluid (the stuff that cushions the baby while in utero). That ultrasound revealed a very low amount of fluid, yet a very healthy baby...so we decided to check it again in another 2 days to see if it would improve or at least hold stable so the baby could stay inside and grow a little more. Since I was almost 38 weeks it was a hard decision to make- the baby would be fine if she were born and we would eliminate the risks of low fluid...at the same time she was doing so well despite the low fluid that it was also possible to just keep an eye on things and hope she grew. Anyway all of that was decided for us when on Thursday morning I definitely felt a loss of more fluid and felt prompted to get it checked out ASAP...after another ultrasound confirming further fluid loss and a LONG day being monitored in L&D my Dr. and the Perinatologist decided it would be best to get Mia out safe and sound.
So at 6:03pm on Thursday the 14th she was born- 5lbs15oz and 18.5inches! Here are some pictures...
Happy Sleep

She just found out mom doesn't make chocolate milk. She is one feisty girl.

Congrats! She is so sweet and little! I wonder when mine start getting huge--AJ was born at 37 1/2weeks and weighed 8 lbs 10 oz. I fear for a full term little boy:) Have fun dressing her up!
