It's time to meet Mark, for real this time

I had another ultrasound yesterday and my OB thinks it's best that I get induced this friday morning (July 9th). My liver enzymes are still looking good, but I have developed polyhydramnios. Polyhdramnios is a build up of amniotic fluid. It is common for TD babes. Their little chests are too small to hold all of their organs comfortably, so the organs get constricted and crowded. Due to this, their throats also get constricted and they can't swallow properly, so the fluid just builds up.

I am 31 weeks today, and measuring 39 weeks due to all the fluid. I went from measuring perfect for dates 2 weeks ago (so my belly grew 10 weeks in 2 weeks!). Mark's head has also gone through a big growth spurt. His head was measuring at 32 weeks 2 weeks ago to now measuring 38 weeks. Due to the bleeding disorder that comes with cholestasis, I am NOT to have a c-section if it can be helped, so I will need to deliver this week before his head gets too big for a vag. birth. He is also breech right now, so I'm really hoping that he will turn for me in the next couple of days.

We got about 2.5 weeks extra with him; for that we are soooo very greatful. He has gone through a big growth spurt the last 2 weeks, and now is almost 4 lbs at their estimation.

We are still praying soooo hard for a miracle! they DO happen. Please Lord, let our baby have a type of dwarfism that is compatible with life (by measurments, we know he has some sort of dwarfism). We would love him to run and play, and know life. If this is not to be your plan for us and Mark, please let us have lots of time with him. I read a story from a mama who had a TD babe 2 weeks ago and he lived for 30 hours! I would LOVE to be able to breastfeed him at least once, and give him a bath. We would love to take him for a walk and show him the trees and birds. We want to give him at least a thousand kisses :)
