An update...

Yesterday, we had our normal tests for Micah, but this time, as an outpatient! :) His non-stress test (it measures how his movement and the contractions affect his heart rate) came back fine. Sometimes he's squirming so much they can't keep track of him. Yesterday he rolled over and they had to find him again. He's a tricky one! We also had his bi-weekly ultrasound. He almost got all his points, but missed out on one because he didn't breathe as much as they want him to. He's ALWAYS stubborn on this, but this is the first time he didn't get it all in under 30 minutes. He was breathing though- on several occasions, just not quite what they wanted. The doctors weren't too concerned though.
They are planning an amniocentesis (oh boy) for September 2nd, when I'll be 36 weeks by their count. If this test shows his lungs are mature, they will deliver him shortly after. If not, they'll continue their waiting game.
Every three weeks, he gets measured. This week, they estimated him at 5 lbs, 5 oz. To us, this seems huge! We didn't think he'd ever get this big! They measure different bones, his head and his abdomen. The size is converted to the estimated age of the baby. His head was in the 34 week range, his belly in the 33 week range, but his legs measured between 35-36 weeks. Everything was within the range of normal, I'm just amused at the long legs.
This is my first time to venture downstairs to the computers, so I'm a happy camper. I plan about one "outing" a day- whether it's to the doctors office, the tv area, or somewhere else. Otherwise, I'm taking it pretty easy.
We just want to thank everyone for their cards. We have a memo board in our room that is full of cards, and we love getting them. We appreciate the prayers, we know that's the only way we've kept our sanity the last three weeks.
