Well, 12 days and Smidge will be here! Today at the ultrasound, her fluid is still a precious 2, and the doctor and Lacey and Grammie enjoyed watching her breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, and that little heart just beat..beat..beat..beatin away. The sweet sweet doctor said our trooper is an 8 on a scale from 0-10 on her somethin somethin profile (wow, I'm good at terms) and that she is doing just wonderful. (Lolly knows that already) Lacey had a Non-stress test yesterday and Laynie passed with flying colors. Lots of movement, lots of good strong heartsounds. All good. Our only cloud in the sky, is the fear that goes along with low fluid. The chance that she could roll on her cord and shut off her mommy supply. The doctor said "she's at risk", which Lacey looked him square in the eye and said "Hasn't she been that way since day 1?".... which gave him a moment's pause, before he answered her "Sure has". I believe she is staying small to prevent any damage (besides she AIN"T that small no more) I bet our smidgey will weigh 6 pounds. Any body want to start a pool? We are ALMOST there. I will be blogging about this pregnancy only a few more times, then we'll be off on a wonderful grandma bragging tangent.
I just want to talk to you about Lacey right now. I stand in awe and amazement at her strength. She could be going INSANE with worry right now. Imagine yourself in the position she is in, just for one second. The unknown, the constant nagging worry, am I doing the right thing?, is she moving enough? Holy stinkin cow. Normal pregnancy at 9 months is bad enough, couple that with the worry. But here is Lacey...... sooo amazingly strong in her belief and faith. Faith that God is in control, faith that God will see us through, faith that God has Laynie right in the palm of His lovely father hand and is guiding her precious little body through this storm. She is totally unaware of our worries, she is one solid trooper. She is God's precious gift to us, and everyday for the rest of my life, I will NEVER forget our journey. God is good...... ALL the time.
