Okay, I will be updating the blog today, Kim is having some issues with a nose bleed so bear with me and we will get thru this just fine....
Our visit with Dr. Matsumoto went very well yesterday, we had to travel a little farther he was at a different office yesterday, he was at the Northside Forsyth Hospital rather than our usual Northside Atlanta it was about an extra 24 mile north up GA 400 but the building was just beautiful.
We had to wait quite a while but it was all worth it to hear the good news from the doctor that everything looked fine, Kim's fluid was at 14.8, Lucas's weigh was estimated at 6' 14 which means that his growth spurt has likely stopped which is good for us and him, if we were to go full term he would probably make it to 10lbs but we think he will be somewhere in the 7 1/2 -8 lb range. Probably our biggest surprise was when the Dr. was measuring the Femur Length he told us that there is a bone in the knee area that starts to ossify (harden and turn white) when the lungs are nearing maturity, well he found that little bone yesterday and it stuck out like a little white star he was very excited and stated that even in a normal (non-diabetic) pregnancy he doesn't see that until the 36-37 week area...
So with all that said we are still on for our Amniocentesis on Monday the 24th, pending the outcome of that test, and Dr. Millers scheduling we could possibly be proud parents next week as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.
Once again thank you all for the prayers that were sent up over the past week, all I can say is keep them coming!!!
Kim reserves the right to change any information in this post because I may or may not have gotten the measurements right....
