Baby Chloe
So I was having this nagging feeling to double check on Chloe since our last ultrasound was 20 weeks ago. It was so strong and I just couldn't shrug it, so I asked Dr. B for another look and he thought it would be a great idea. The tech found some calcifacations on my placenta-meaning that it is aging sooner than it should. I haven't heard back from the radiologist nor Dr. B, but I have an appointment tomorrow and should be able to figure out the plan. I guess typically with this situation, they check the baby through sonogram frequently from this point on to ensure the baby is getting the nutrition she needs. They will check the amount of fluid and her weight gain. If at any point she looks to be unsafe or unhealthy, I suppose they would induce. Can't wait to see what Doc says exactly.
This is the picture from our ultrasound last friday. I can not believe how life like and vivid it is. It's amazing to me that I can already tell she has a Greene nose and chubby lil cheeks at only five pounds. This makes it real for me... not that the big appendage on the front of my body isn't real enough, but it sometimes seems like just that- an appendage!
The tech said she also has hair, which Sayd didn't have much of- so that is SO exciting! Now I really can't wait to see what color it is! I think that will be the most anticipated by all.

That's an awesome picture. I've never seen a shot so life-like - like you said. I hope everything goes well for you - way to trust your instincts! And I lOVE her name!
I had the same thing with my placenta, The Dr. ended up taking TaiLee about a week early because she stopped growing but everything turned out just fine! I am so excited for you. Can't wait to see what she looks like! Best Wishes!
I am so proud of you for listening the your feelings and promptings!!! She looks adorable already! Keep us posted!
Thanks gals! I went to the doc today and he's not super concerned. It's just a little aged further than it should be. So, we are scheduling induction the week before if she doesn't come on her own earlier- Which she may... I was surprised to hear I am 50% thinned and almost dialated with head engaged. Woo hoo! On my way:) Last week there was NOTHING going on so this was great news!
