Growth update

So we went to our growth ultrasound this morning.  Evelyn gained about 1 pound 5 ounces, bringing her to an approximate weight of 4 pounds 12 ounces.  She is still head down and will be the first one out.

Grayson on the other hand, continues to give mommy and daddy worry.  He only gained around 8 ounces.  Bringing him to about 3 pounds 11 ounces.  They called it a moderate growth restriction.  They did an additional ultrasound that checked his blood flow to make sure the placenta was providing what he needs and everything appeared to be fine with that.

I'm not overly concerned, as they will be checking that blood flow weekly to make sure there are no issues with the placenta causing the restriction.

The plan moving forward is weekly Doppler appointments checking on the blood flow for Grayson.  I will probably be moving to weekly OB appointments too if I had to guess.  I will also be doing bi-weekly NSTs at the hospital as well, which I need to discuss with my OB tomorrow as well to find out how to schedule those.

There is still talk of a possible vaginal delivery which would be great and seeing how Grayson would be the 2nd baby out there is a possibility that they could get him out regardless of positioning because of the size difference. 

My goal is still 35 weeks.  Anything over that would be a blessing.
