Baby Mathews is cooking!
This is our little "Baby Sasquatch" at 12 weeks and 4 days. Measuring about 3 inches from head to rump, I am certain that this baby's length at birth will not disappoint! Everything is looking good so far. After we lost the twins in April we met with a specialist that told us that the primary cause for my early labor was the amount of fluid and the size of the boys, my body thought it was full term and therefore set things into motion. When we found out we were expecting #3 the specialist wanted to scan me early so we got our first look during week 8. During that appointment Dr. Jamie was concerned that I may have a Bicornuate Uterus. This means that the uterus is heart shaped to some degree and that the placenta is typically only able to grow in a portion of the uterus. This could have been a missing piece to the puzzle with the boys except that upon a second look during week 12 she is not seeing any indication that my uterus is at all misformed. Praise God! This also means no cerclage as of now (stitching the cervix closed for reinforcement). I am being watched very closely (every other week) by a specialist that Josh and I feel very comfortable with. God is sovereign and the doctors and nurses that he has placed in our life, since my labor the night with the twins, have been wonderful. We get another look on Wednesday of next week! I will try to be faithful to update. Thank you so much for your prayers and concern. Specifically pray for my peace of mind as my body is growing and changing.
