38 Week Check up~
Yesterday I had yet another weekly Biophysical Profile done to check up on our little guy.
He passed once again with flying colors. The doctor has no concerns at this point! Myles is continuing to do his practice breathing, and moving around in there like crazy!
My fluid level is still high. No wonder I'm so big, and uncomfortable.
We also found that Myles has moved again. Rather than being head down, he is transverse, or, laying crosswise in my belly.
So, all things considered, he is doing well. The end of the pregnancy is very much in sight.
We are praying fervently that Myles will go head down, and stay put so that a csection will not be necessary.
They did a weight estimate as well, and are guessing him to be at about 8# 2oz right now. 87th percentile.
I just don't make small babies, folks.
I know these reports are always upbeat, and all seems well. But we need to be mindful that Myles still very much has his CDH birth defect. It will not heal on its own prior to birth, or without surgery. We are still facing a very stressful and scary few months or so following his birth. We have so much peace about what the Lord has brought our way. We know this is partially from the prayers of His people. Thank you for that! Please continue to pray that God works greatly in and through this trial, and He is glorified. We know God can do amazing things, and are expectantly waiting to see what He does.
Please be praying for our kids Maelyn and Levi who will have a very crazy time of upheaval in their own little lives while Mommy and Daddy will be needing to be with their baby brother until he is well enough to come home. They will need LOTS of love from people!
"Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.

On you was I cast from my birth,
and from my mother's womb you have been my God."
Psalm 22:9-10
Such a great picture.....We continue with our prayers for the medical team that will be caring for him throughout his surgery and for the family to be able to have the strength to handle all of the stress, etc.
