Sorry for the mass e-mail, but I wanted to thank you all for the prayers and support for Baby Parker, Reece and me - these past couple of weeks. I've appreciated your e-mails, calls, cards, etc. As many of you know, we had another appointment with our maternal fetal specialist today, and I wanted to give you an update.
Overall, the appointment was positive. Baby Parker (also called BP, munchkin and peanut) grew an additional 7oz, as he was just 9oz three weeks ago. His heart rate is good, organs seem to be developing and he is showing some movement. And while my amniotic fluid is low, it does not seem to have decreased any more in the past couple of weeks. Ultimately, due to placenta issues, it is likely we will give birth to a premature baby. Reece and I are scheduled to meet with a neonatal doctor next week and then return to our material fetal specialist in 2 weeks for another ultrasound. If things have continued to progress, they will admit me to the hospital at that time for constant monitoring and care. In the meantime, I'll be on bed rest.
I know that Baby Parker is in God's hands and that this must be a journey we are meant to take. We have faith that everything is going to be okay. Please continue to keep us in our thoughts and prayers!
Love,
Christine, Reece, Baby Parker and Alex
