I have been going to one doctors appointment a month since we found out that you were on your way, and your daddy has lovingly been there with me at every single one, he's amazing. Recently, we started going every two weeks, this way they can keep a better eye on you the closer we get to the "big day". It was during one of these visits that we met Dr. Barrett, she is one of the other doctors in the practice, they wanted us to meet her too just in case she had to be the one to deliver you. She is super nice, daddy and I liked her immediately, but what she had to say scared the CRAP out of us, me especially. During each one of my visits they have measured my stomach from top to bottom, but during this particular visit, she was concerned that the measurement wasn't where it should be for the number of weeks I was at, that you weren't growing the way you should be. What? What does that mean?  She told us to go get another ultrasound to make sure you were okay. I was shocked, I was almost positive that this visit would be like so many before it, in and out with everything looking good. I asked her what would happen if you weren't growing and she simply said, "we would have to get her out of there." She caught me so off guard I didn't ask any other questions and I left the office in a haze.

We were half way home when I realized what she had said, you could be coming NOW!

I called the office as soon as we got home to confirm that that is really what could be happening right now and the nurse assured me that if you indeed had run out of room or something else was keeping you from growing at the right rate, they would just keep a much closer eye on you and wait to see what happened and that I shouldn't be worried.

It helped calm me down a little, but I spent the rest of the day crying off and on, worried about you and feeling like it was my fault that this was happening. Daddy and the rest of the family tried to make me stop thinking like that, but I couldn't help it.

That Friday afternoon we went to get the ultrasound.

I was a ball of nerves, but daddy kept me calm and we waited to hear what they said, they did a TON of measurements and checked your position.

As for your position, you are still BUTT DOWN! And actually you were in a weird scissor kick position, head upper left, hands and once foot upper right and the other foot lower right. I'm not sure how you got like that, but you seemed comfortable.

As for the measurements, YOU ARE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE!!!

I couldn't have been happier, I was so completely relieved that I could have done somersaults right there in the doctors office if it hadn't been a little inappropriate.

They did say they were going to recommend a C-section to our doctor, but other than that, you were growing exactly how you should be, but your position was making the stomach measurements seem a little small.

Can't wait for you to get here, ON TIME!!!
