We are 18 weeks today! According to all of the baby websites the baby is now the size of a sweet potato. 5 & ½ inches long from head to rump. I am growing by the day. It is hilarious to hear all of my students at school. Everyday they have something new to say about my appearance. “Mrs. Wood, your stomach is so big today!” Trust me, they don’t hold anything back. If they think it, they say it!
I am feeling good but a bit nervous. It seems that every time we go to the doctor we have something new to worry about. Grant and I had a huge trip planned for spring break and it now looks like we will not be able to go. We were going to San Francisco for five nights and then to Dallas for three nights. Unfortunately, my regular OB does not feel comfortable giving me clearance to go that far away without seeing my specialist. I have an appointment with him Thursday and we are thinking that he will probably say that the trip is off. Everything that I have read has said that women with high risk pregnancies will not be allowed to fly.
Right now we are praying that the baby will not be born before 36 weeks.
Both my OB and the specialist say that if the baby has not decided to come before then they will deliver her by C-section at 36 weeks which will be the first week in August. It is so weird to think that we might actually be able to pick our baby’s birthday. Any suggestions? It will have to be
between July 30 and August 6.
