May 19, 2011

This morning we eagerly headed out to our 30 week growth scan in anticipation of some fun new 3d photos of our little one. After several minutes of viewing by the maternal fetal medicine specialist it was decided that the time has come to deliver the baby...which for those of you who do not know the gender is a boy!
Anyway, back to the important stuff...we have been at the hospital in Saginaw (as they have an excellent NICU) since Friday night. Friday and Saturday were spent in a great deal of discomfort as I was given a magnesium sulfate drip (for neural function) and steroid shots for respiratory function. We want this little guy to have as much help as possible.
This morning it has been decided that we will be welcoming the newest Scholtens to the world around noon. We were encouraged to hear that the little monster has flipped over to a head down position. This means delivery will be a little easier and less traumatic for him.
We will try to post pictures as soon as possible...please keep us all in your prayers!
