Answered Prayers

Yesterday, Travis and I went to see Dr. Gonzalez and....drum roll, please......Gray has gone from the 39th percentile to averaging (based on all of his measurements) in the 74th percentile!!!! He's almost doubled in size in just two weeks! The Dr. said, "I don't know what you've been doing but keep it up!" Of course, Travis credited it to the steaks and red meat I've recently been eating (normally, I eat 2 filets a year). I think it's answered prayers.

Currently, he's weighing approximately 4 lbs. 2 oz. Gray's legs and head are in the high 60th and 50th percentile, respectively, and his stomach is in the 92nd percentile! Praise God for answered prayers. My amniotic fluid is fine and, during the ultrasound, Gray stuck his tongue out and yawned! Dr. Gonzalez suggested Gray be measured again in 2-3 weeks to ensure he's progressing. I go back to the OB next week so I'll probably schedule it then.

As of today, I'm 31 weeks along and am just getting to the very uncomfortable stage - a little earlier than last time, I think. It could have something to do with unpacking of boxes but prenatal yoga, as well as Chiropractor, seems to be helping some.

Based on his measurements, I don't see Dr. S moving up the due date from September 22nd. However, if he's already weighing over 4 lbs. and, on average, babies gain 1/2 oz per week and I have 9 weeks to go - we may have another "Grayton situation" where the dr. schedules my C-section early. Being I'm not the medical physician (only wishful thinking because I can't wait to see the 'lil fella), I'm probably getting ahead of myself. However, I'll keep y'all posted.

Thanks so much for all of your thought, well wishes and prayers!
