Yesterday, I had a regular check-up with my midwife. It was the usual routine: get weighed, check blood pressure, ask if I have questions, ask me a million questions, give me more resources on handling grief, then FINALLY check the heart beat and measure my stomach (uterus).
Well...four weeks ago (when I was about 32 weeks), I was measuring 24 weeks. Two weeks ago, I measured 24 weeks. Yesterday, I measured 28 weeks!!! I couldn't believe it. I'm so proud of you, little a, for keeping on fighting. You're growing! Heartbeat was in the perfect range, too.
I might have skipped out to my car...I don't really remember.
Monday, I will be full term. I'm so looking forward to meeting this little baby and kissing its little nose.
And I'm YOUR proud mama! Liz, I can't imagine anyone going through what you and Ryan are and handling it with greater faith or more grace. I'm so proud of you - the little girl that was always such a joy to us has become a beautiful young woman and mother who continues to bring unbelievable joy and inspiration! I love you so much!
