We have "growth" measurements this week, so I may have a little "new" information after Wednesday. Last growth check was 4 weeks ago, and baby was 4 lb 10 oz (obviously estimated).
We are just over 3 weeks from our scheduled c-section, and praying that God's will would be for me to go into labor early. It seems like wisdom to us for me to have an easier recovery so I can walk to NICU/drive, etc. However, His wisdom is higher than our wisdom, and we are thankful He will choose whether or not I go into labor.
Details are still unknown, but our perinatologist said we are wise to plan for about a 3 week NICU stay and/or recovery from surgery. If baby is doing very poorly, they will do surgery quickly, and that is a few week recovery. If baby is "o.k." then our stay shouldn't be much longer than 3 weeks. That felt really good to hear that our thoughts and anticipations sounded reasonable. We have been informed to be expecting (although these are not certainties but very high probabilities) 1) breathing tube 2) NICU 3) problems nursing
Thank you all for your prayers. God's daily grace has proven more than sufficient, and we know that He will provide a) our needs b) a "way of escape" from any temptation c) strength to stay under/persevere and d) wisdom when we ask
