Nevaeh is still measuring a week ahead of schedule (27 weeks). The blood flow to and from the placenta is PERFECT (no blood clots....the blood thinner shots are working!). The heartbeat is 158. She weighs 2lbs. 4oz. and is 15 inches long! Right on track! If she were a full term baby at 40 weeks, she would probably weigh around 7 lbs. 8oz.......but since Courtney is being induced between 37-38 weeks....the tech is guessing Nevaeh will weigh in the high 5 to low 6's.......we may want to buy some preemie outfits to start off with!.......Time will tell! Right now, the baby is breech with her head up near (and sometimes under) the rib cage......and so are her feet! She is folded in half with her cute little butt down near Courtney's pelvis. Today, the baby was facing towards Courtney's left with her spine to the right (picture a V starting at the center of the rib cage......spine going down the right, butt at bottom of of Courtney's stomach and then legs straight up in front of the baby's face!).....She is double jointed and will probably be flexible like her Aunt Caitlin!
Here are some pictures.....She is simply BEAUTIFUL!
In this picture I see her Mommy's face!
In this picture, I see her Daddy!.....And I don't just mean this by the middle finger sticking up in this picture!
Ahhhh....such a cute little smile!
Nevaeh has her Daddy's toes!
