After our appt and in-depth ultrasound with the high-risk group this morning, they were they pleased with Jake's progress. At 27 weeks, he is now 2.5 pounds exactly and measuring a week ahead growth-wise (which is no indication of lung development, but every extra thing will help). They agree with our decision to stay the course, but under heavy monitoring--total bedrest, blood draws once or twice a day for white counts, frequent checks of my vitals, and 24-hour heart and contraction monitoring. That's what I'm most happy about, in that I can actually doze off knowing "Big Brother" (a.k.a. the nurses) are always watching.
That said, at the first sign of any problems, I am steps away from the O.R. (here in Labor & Delivery Room 12) where they will whisk him out.
In the meantime, every hour, day, etc. is a gift, and we'll take whatever we can get! Go Jake Go!!!
