Everything looks great! Bennett is measuring around 28 weeks except for his femur bones which have always been about 2 weeks behind-this is common in babies with DS. We got more 3D shots of him and this time Ainsley got to see her baby brother on the ultra sound screen so she really liked that. I guess that's the one perk you get when you're carrying a baby that requires special attention-free 3D shots and a lot of them! At least the ladies in the office I go to do that for me. This time we got the actual print out not through email ( I didn't want to push it) so hopefully I can get them scanned and put them on here. Not much change from last time, he still looks sweet as ever! I can't wait to see him on the outside!!
We then discussed delivery time and the MFM specialist does not see any need to deliver Bennett any earlier than 39 weeks at this time. They will be monitoring him closely to check his growth and any placental problems but they do not foresee any problems that would require an early delivery, unless I started going into labor. So if all goes as planned-he should be here right around my sister's birthday, May 22nd or 23rd! I'm thinking Monday I will be able to schedule the c-section. It's kind of weird to pick your child's birthday!
Thank you everyone for your continued prayers for us! We really appreciate it!
So glad to hear everything went well with the ultrasound...My birthday is May 28th and so is my daughter's ...great time of year! Can't wait to see the pics of the ultrasound....I too loved the perks of all those pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad everything went well. It is so nice to see your baby isn't it? You sound so positive and I think that is so great! What a gift to be able to love your baby so much already!
ReplyDeleteFabulous news. We had 3D scans of Luke and they still had no clue!
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog and will continue to keep Bennett and you in my prayers. I am glad that everything is going well so far. What a precious little gift!!
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear that all is well with the little guy!! May will be here before we know it! : )
ReplyDeleteWe got to pick our second son's birthday, and it was SO cool!! Our first son was born on March 24, so two years later, for our second, we picked April 24. We're *really* hoping for another shot at a 24th with the next couple of kids. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the ultrasound went well! :)
I'm so glad for you Adrienne. I can't wait to see your little guy.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne,
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog....connected to you thru Libby/Charlie and it's great to meet you!! Check my blog out sometime....I have an 8 1/2 yr. old with Down Syndrome...JEB. I'll be praying for Bennett to be healthy, which we were blessed with health at JEB's birth. While he was in the NICU for two weeks because he had a little trouble breathing, he was never intubated or anything serious....PRAISE GOD! We didn't know beforehand that he was DS, but have been so blessed by having him in our lives!!! GOD knew we needed him.....every day he shows us something special!! Stop and visit us. Can't wait to hear from you!
