We Have A Date - Countdown to Landry

Today was a most exciting day. We had appointments with both the OB and the Peri. First up, was our OB. First thing in the room she tells us that she was running a little late because she had to call the hospital and get us on the schedule for our C-Section. And there it was, the date our little Landry will actually be here. I was a little blown away. As if the monstrous belly wasn't enough - this is all becoming very very real (and exciting!). Our scheduled date is Tuesday, March 30th at noon. Hopefully she won't try and come any earlier.

After leaving there, we headed to the perinatologists office. We've been seeing them every 2 weeks since week 12 (I'm at 32 weeks now). Each visit they measure for signs of preterm labor and every other visit they measure her growth. Today was the last with Drs. Magee and Yost - we have graduated from the specialists. This is bittersweet. We have loved visiting them every 2 weeks and getting the opportunity to see Landry each time. The great news is that they are no longer concerned with preterm labor. Now we just have to make sure that she has enough room to grow. They can't tell how long she is but today her femur measured about 2.5 weeks ahead and she already weighs 5lbs and 3oz. She's going to be a big girl. For those of you who don't know, her father weighed 10.5 pounds and was 24 inches long when he was born.

So, it was another day of great doctor visits. We will see our OB again in 2 weeks and she'll measure the growth 4 weeks from now. We'll have to wait another month to see baby girl on the sonogram but we've been blessed to see her as often as we have so far. March 30th - let the countdown begin.
