Today was the start of our weekly appointments with our OB. They will consist of an ultrasound, and a non-stress test. Tommy's head size this week was measuring about 3 to 4 weeks ahead which is about the same as it was on November 20th. Everything else was still measuring within normal range which was a relief.
After the ultrasound we met with our doctor to discuss delivery options. As of today I think we are planning to deliver in Atlanta because he thinks Tommy will have to have shunt surgery soon after he is born. Our doctor does not want to add anymore stress to Tommy by having to have him transported to Atlanta after birth and that way I could be with him as well.
I am a little scared about not having my OB, who I absolutely love, deliver me but I will do whatever is best for Tommy.
We both left his office today feeling more hopeful about the future. It has been so hard for me to realize that I cannot control this situation and that I have to trust in God and that he will take care of us.
