At my last doctor appointment (July 22), my doctor told us that Maddie Lou is tiny.

I'm growing, & gaining great... she isn't.

So she wants to see me back in 2 weeks, so on Aug5th.

Being that we have eliminated that I'm not smoking, I don't drink, I eat.... a lot, I've stopped exercising, she wants to monitor her closely. I will have another ultrasound at my next appointment, and I believe she wants to hook me up and monitor me for a bit. She thinks it may the placement of the umbilical cord. The ideal place for the umbilical cord to attach is right in the center, but sometimes it attaches on the outer part of the placenta, which is fine, it's just that Maddie is not getting all that she could be from me, and so if this is the case, she will take her at 38 weeks, because by then she will be fully developed, all will be well, and bb can benefit way more from me at that point than staying in there another week or so!

So I will keep you all updated!
