| 20-11-2009 - Sophia\'s Birthday - 11/24/09 |
My mood while writing this blog: SCARED |
During our appointment today we learned that Sophia has dropped from the 5th percentile down to the 3rd. While she grew and gained 8 oz she should have gained at least a pound. Today Sophia's estimated weight was 2 pounds 14 ounces. Due to her lack in growth and complications that can come of this, we scheduled Sophia's birth for next Tuesday. My doctor feels Sophia will do better on the outside and fears that if we keep her in we risk losing her all together. So on 11/24/09 at 5:30 pm I will be taken into the operating room to meet my little girl.
My husband and I decided that we'll have Thanksgiving this weekend with our children. I'm sure family members will offer to take them on Thanksgiving day however I want to make this as much of a positive experience as possible for them. Tonight I'll sit them both down and finally tell them whats going on with their baby sister.
I cant even begin to describe what I'm feeling right now. I thought we had at least until the week after Thanksgiving or the following but things dont always work out as planned. I broke down in my doctors office and started weeping and quickly pulled myself back together again. I have fallen so much in love with my daughter and I havent even met her yet.
I go in tomorrow for a fetal non stress test and again on Monday. My doctor wants to keep a close eye on Sophia as she is very concerned at this point. I'll take my lap top with me on Tuesday and I'll update you all as soon as I can.

Sunday, 22 Nov Best of luck! She is going to be beautiful! She is so tiny... I pray that she is a strong girl with a will to survive - because she has so many people that love her and will show her how beautiful she really is. It is so true that babies often do better on the outside - and she will do wonderfully. bevi -

Saturday, 21 Nov I am sorry she didn't gain more weight but happy she did gain weight. I am so excited for you to see her face before thanksgiving and think that we can give thanks on Thanksgiving that the right dr's will have thier hands on Sophia doing god's work to help her with her fight. She won't have to do all the work on her own anymore. I know how scared you are and I would be scared too and you have the right to cry as much as you need too. We have all fallen in love with Sophia and are sad she isn't doing better but happy that she isn't doing worse. I can't wait to be excited with you to see her little face but am hear to cry with you or let you vent as the time nears and your anxiety increases. You are a great mom! hollienjax -
