Boy Wonder aka. Miracles, They Do Happen



Most people got surprised few days ago at Facebook when I announced the birth of our baby boy. And I don't blame you. It was a surprise to me too, even though I had nine months to get used to the idea.

Actually I still look at that boy and wonder is he really ours...

I guess he is as he's becoming a spitting image of his daddy and I do remember being there when he was born...

Had anyone said me last year this time that our first child is nine days old 366 days later I probably had thought they were crazy. But I had been happily wrong about that matter - and I was.
Last year I got the best birthday gift ever and last week there was all the Christmases, birthdays, anniversaries etc. at once when I heard his cough for the first time. Our son, my long-awaited miracle child.

Miracles, they do happen.

39+5


Everything was well in the control.

Placenta is clean and bears no signs whatsoever of being calcified due high blood pressure and umbilical cord has completely normal blood flow. And actually placenta seems to be working very well: estimated weight on Monday was 3,5 kilos (I was 3,6 kg when I was born 42+something).

And we are indeed having a boy - or should we say that the doc saw testicles while checking the measurements and stuff.

As my pressure was still under 150/100 and lady parts weren't matured a bit since last doctor's appointment (35+ something) inducing labor wasn't considered, BUT when they get free slot (next week) they will call me and I'll go there again for another check-up where they do reconsider inducing labor. Now we are just waiting for some maturing to happen and doctor's orders were that it'd be preferred to come there to give birth before next control...

So, I've done some acupressing and hope that it would at least make my body more ready - preferably it would induce labor. Let's see.
