I will be 36 weeks pregnant with our sweet Little Layla in two days. Normally I would have about four more weeks left of this pregnancy, but due to our sweet baby slipping to only the 10th percentile for weight, the Dr. will most likely induce me in two weeks. I guess my placenta is no longer giving Layla the nutrients she needs to grow. Just because I'm a little stubborn and selfish at times doesn't mean my placenta has to be also... The Dr.s want her to be a little bigger before they induce me, so in the mean time they are going to monitor her twice a week and do an ultra sound once a week to make sure she is still thriving. That's a little scary to me, I just want her to be safe in my arms where I can nurture and care for her. So for the next two weeks we will be living on nerves and prayers.
It's funny how much you can love a child before you ever meet them. There is no greater hurt then that of your children. Whether it be because they scraped their knee or because someone wasn't very nice to them, the pain they feel penetrats just as deep or deeper in you. Even though I can't see her yet, as a mother, I already feel that connection with Layla. Anyway, I've never had to deal with this with my other two children, so prayers are readily welcomed! And thanks to all of you who have already offered them up, I really appreciate it..
