An update on Hyrum

Well April is here and I think it's time I did an update on Hyrum and the birth plan since the little guy will be here very soon. They originally had estimated that Hyrum would be at the seven pound mark according to my 33 week ultrasound, well, after my ultrasound today he is measuring at 8 pounds 3 ounces as of today. As in he already weighs that much. They think he will be high eight or close to nine or above by the time I deliver in two weeks hopefully. He is head down but hasn't engaged into my pelvis as of yet. Besides that he seems healthy, and very active in general for one of my babies. Everything seems so normal that it seems surreal that he has any kind of issues, but we know he does. My doctor this time is not a fan of inducement (neither am I) and is very reassuring that I will be able to start labor on my own if everything continues so well. Unfortunately the whole avoiding an MRI a day after birth has been shot down. The neo natalogist along with a few other specialists (around 15), had a meeting today about upcoming special needs births and although he will more than likely be able to bunk in our room, he will still need an MRI. Luckily though, as opposed to 7 years ago they do not sedate newborns for MRI's anymore. They swaddle and give them sugar water and that's usually enough to keep them still enough for the images.  Now this was what caused makayla major Nicu issues and we had to have her Nicu stay be 4 days longer because of the sedation. 

It's so hard to plan anything right now with him because there is a lot depending on Hyrum and how well he is or isn't. I'm still hoping he can come home within two days, but I understand I can't control what happens. So that's the haps as of now. I'm hoping I go into labor a few days before or right after Easter. I'm thinking more after Easter because he seems pretty set where he is at, but a lot can change in a week. Here I am at 37 weeks.
