We had our appointment with Dr. Zaretsky, our favorite high-risk specialist, this afternoon and he gave us a great report! Yes, Gwendoline is confirmed as a little nugget. But she gained an appropriate amount of weight in the last two weeks (almost one pound) and now weighs in at 4 pounds, 9 ounces. That puts her close to the 13th percentile (12.9th, to be exact)! Dr. Zaretsky says that is just fine and there is nothing to be concerned about. He even shared that each of his own three babies measured around the 9th percentiles when they were born. Dr. Zaretsky hypothesizes that Gwen will weigh a little over 6 pounds at 40 weeks (full term). We'll take it! Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support- it means so much to us and makes these victories even more special.
Now if we could just get her to do a flip... That's right, she's still
breech. We still have some time for her to rotate, and knowing Gwen, she's
going to make us sweat it out till the last minute. While we're
thinking positively and sending her strong "flip vibes," we'd appreciate
more prayers for her rotation. After attending the first half of our
childbirth class this weekend, I feel even more strongly about having a
natural birth. So Miss Gwendoline, obey your mother and FLIP! :)
