Well, the visit with the high-risk specialist went well. Great actually. Little boy, though small, is perfectly healthy.
Yes, he will be skinny, but he is getting enough nutrients and actually put on a few ounces between last Tuesday and last Thursday. His head is measuring right on track and his belly and femurs are about a week and a half behind. He might just take after me in the height department! Poor thing ;)
It is just a huge relief and although we didn't have all this drama and second opinions with Clara, she was tiny, too. And now is thriving incredibly.
I would love for him to be closer to 6 pounds so I am doing my darnedest to eat and drink as many calories as I can. My Mother-in-Law is pushing the milk - so I have been chugging whole milk, soy milk and chocolate soy milk (I promise Linda!)
I would post the sonogram pictures but he had a mind of his own last Thursday. All he wanted us to see were his man-parts. Nearly every measurement was interrupted by a flash of man parts. He obviously has a mind and a sense of humor of his own!
Now, we just sit and wait. 10 days!!!!!!! Can't wait. I really can't wait.
