Caylee's Scheduled Birthday! (Hopefully)

This pregnancy has been SO easy! I have felt great and time has flown by! And things have gone according as planned until a few weeks ago! Nothing major, but Caylee has dropped to the 16% in weight. The doctor's said there is a possibility she has IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction), and this can be grounds to deliver her early! I am having to go to the doctor twice a week, which is not fun, but I am grateful they are keeping a close watch on her well-being! On Mondays I go for Non-Stress Testing, where they hook me up to a monitor and watch her heart rate in comparison to her movements. So far, she has passed each test! On a few occasions, she has been sleeping while I was being monitored. They come in and use a buzzer to wake her up! Both times it gave her the hiccups, which is funny and feels weird! And then on Thursdays, I go for more Non-Stress Testing and a sonogram, and they measure all her bones and circumferences! She dropped from the 35% to the 16% in only 2 weeks, so the doctors want to make sure she is getting all the nutrients she needs! As long as she stays above the 10%, they have scheduled the C-Section for Friday, January 30. Only 10 days away! We are so excited and can't wait to meet her! We have been blessed with such great family and friends! The past few weeks have been a little un-nerving, but we have been showered with prayers and words of encouragement, and that has truly kept us both at ease! God is good, all the time!
