Growing Like a weed....

Off to the Hi Risk OB again today. Max grew to 4.5 pounds and is measuring 33 weeks!!! He was moving like crazy today and had his pouty lip stuck out the whole time. With Heather's internal inflammation and pain going on, Dr. Shubert has decided to do an amino on December 3rd. (Less than 3 weeks away!) At that time he feels Max should be weighing in at upper 5's low 6 pounds and with luck his lungs will be mature to come out that day. If his lungs are not okay, Heather will stay in the hospital to receive 24/7 monitoring along with shots of steroids for Max's lungs, then checked again on the 4th to see if he is able to come out and so on until his lungs are okay. Dr. Shubert feels he will be okay on the 3rd as we have just completed 10 days of steroids and that is 20 days away for him to get even stronger and should be measuring 35/36 weeks! It is a great relief to have a plan and now we are able to work with Heather's Rheumatologist and Neurologist to create an after birth recovery plan for her. Seems so surreal today to know we are at the end of one very long journey and about to begin such a beautiful new one all together.
