Adalynn and I had another doctor's appointment this morning... and she is continuing to grow and grow... as well as baffle the doctors!
Her heartbeat was 160 and she is "still tracking for that August 5th due date" (those awesome words we like to hear!). My glucose test came back fine and there are no other extra protein complications (which would indicate the beginning of preeclampsia), etc... truly great news all the way around! Thank you, Lord, for Adalynn--truly a Noble Miracle!
We have another ultrasound planned in two weeks. This is the Level 2 ultrasound in which the Little Rock office will "tune in" during the process. They should be able to monitor the placenta / uterus pretty well at that time... again, they are tracking to see how much the placenta will grow into the uterine wall. If (and I say that with confidence! It used to be "when") that happens, then most likely Adalynn will stop getting nourishment through the placenta. That is when they would determine to take her early. But everything looks so good...so NORMAL! This is truly a miracle pregnancy and baby... what a blessing to be a part of this whole journey!
The best statement that the doctor made today was when she was talking about the upcoming MRI scheduled for June 11th. She said, "You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't find anything wrong [meaning placenta grown into the uterus wall] during that MRI... the way that these checkups and ultrasounds are going, you are having a completely normal pregnancy!" An MRI is the best way to check this... ultrasounds can give indications, but MRIs are the only way to truly see the whole uterine wall vs. the placenta completely. You know how I feel about this because of the verse that spoke to me about this miracle (Mirakel)... "For nothing is impossible with God!" (Luke 1:37)
I was THRILLED to hear that news/prediction! The prayers are working! God has "hemmed Adalynn in" and has been hand feeding her as well. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for all the prayer support. We are incredibly grateful! Again, we know Who gets the glory in this!
