Pray pray pray for The Wife and the baby on the way. She went to the doc again today (Tuesday) and he measured w/ his little tape measure. Then he ordered a sonogram. Results said the baby wasn’t growing much. Monday was the due date, but that’s no biggie.
But over the last 3 weeks the baby has only grown a few ounces. That’s not normal. But it did score a perfect 8 of 8 on the bio-physical exam (measures amniotic fluid, heart rate, movement and something else). So it’s strange that those don’t match up.
Anyhow, the doc wanted to induce tonight. But it’s nearly 1am right now, and The Wife’s asleep. He wants it to be in the morning at the latest. So we have a decision to make in the morning (unless God puts her in labor tonight.) That’s what I’m praying for. Labor tonight. We do not want to induce, but know we might need too.
So I beg for your prayers right now.
carry on, sir. just make sure momma's happy and resting. inducing isn't all that bad – baby probably just needs some grits 🙂
