Today was the day of reckoning. At our appointment today, the doctor was going to determine if Samantha was back on track growth-wise, or if we would have to plan for an early delivery.
The prognosis was excellent! Samantha has moved from the 18th percentile to the mid 40s. At the 20 week ultrasound, she was in the 30s. So after a serious dip, she caught back up! Go baby!
Here are some of the measurement comparisons.
24 and 28 week abdomen. The abdomen measurement was never a problem.
24 and 28 week femur. It was almost 5 days off before.
24 and 28 week head circumference. This measurement was the most concerning as it was 12 days off. The diameter was only 7 days off. The new measurements are only a couple of days off.
So cheers to high protein, baby aspirin and folic acid supplements!
Unlike her previous appointments, baby felt like posing. Here’s one of the 3-D ultrasounds that Chris and I liked. Baby is curled up with both legs crossed in front of her face and feet above her head. Were we all this flexible?
Go, Baby Samantha! I'm glad your measurements are looking so much healthier!
ReplyDeleteOh, you're probably breathing a little easier now. Yay!
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteNice! Due date's getting closer and closer, huh? So stoked! Let's betroth her to Luke...that is if Desi hasn't already proposed. Keep us informed! Love you guys!

I've wondered about that bro. I need to see if Desi and Luke grow up right before I can decide on anything.
