What's Next?

We went to the midwife again today. Again, let me just say I LOVE HER! She is so good and knowledgeable at what she does and makes us feel so confident in her confidence and abilities.

In the end the sonogram technician did everything that Leigh (the midwife) asked. UGH!!! Why the heck did she have to act the way she did then?!?!?!?! And Max and I got a perfect 8 of a possible 8 score that she looks for in the sonogram. I was supposed to go tomorrow but Leigh said not to go because there is nothing more she needs to see and no need to take the risk of upsetting me over nothing. :)

She said that Max grew this week and is probably at 6 pounds now--I guess before he was about 5lb 9 or 10 oz. He is just a little guy still. Her last babies have been 9 or 10 pounds like I said so she is just not used to feeling such small babies this last month. :) She is positive everything is okay with him and me. She can't induce me here until the 9th (10 days after the due date), but her educated guess is that she won't have to at this point. She is going on "vacation" next week, but technically she is here. She is going to do her births not her appointments, so she prefaced telling us that with, "Don't freak out." :) Her midwife partner is giving her the week off next week because Leigh has been working so hard and steady and will be taking her moms/babies in about month or so here for a week so she wanted to give Leigh a gift. She will still deliver our little man barring any other mom being in labor at the exact same time. She doesn't foresee that with mom's she has that are within a couple of weeks. I am still praying it will be her there in the hospital with us.

We will continue to keep you updated on Maximillian's arrival. LIttle turkey is happy to hang out inside for awhile longer. He knows his birthday and is keeping it a secret to us. :)

  1. Delaney was a little baby (6 lbs. 10 oz), and she continues to be on the petite side. We constantly get bugged about her size, I think Americans are used to rolly polly babies. I'm sure Max is perfect and who wants to birth a 10 pound baby anyway? We're praying for you and can't wait to meet your little guy...even if our meeting is through the internet. :)
