Yesterday was my ultrasound. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of his face :(. But good news is The Lord is growing him nice and big. He's in the 71% at 4lbs 12oz, that's 2lbs in 4 weeks. Looking at close to 6lbs at birth. 
Because this big guy doesn't like his already cramped space being invaded he usually wiggles and squirms away from them so they have to go at him at angle, with a wash cloth :) . We initially thought he was breech but u/s showed he was in fact head down. The placenta is very odd shaped. Where my accreta is the placenta is very thick and it's caused my little one to lay high up in my belly. Which is why they pick up his heart beat at the top instead of the bottom. So his head is towards left hip bone and he's firmly placed his rump/back under my ribs on the right side.
My surgery date has been moved to the 15th at 10am ct. My dr said it was because more people will be available that day. I'm thinking some people want to get in on an accreta surgery (Greys Anatomy comes to mind ;) ). That's one more day to grow my baby, one more day to be whole, one more day to look at my unblemshied, pregnant belly, one more day to sit and think and pray.
They monitor me at 8am, 1pm and 8pm. My contractions seem to be picking back up slowly but surely. My drs comments, "we are ready".
Here's a selfie of me being monitored :)
I don't always comment, but I check in for updates-- just wanted to say I am praying for you--as is my family. My eighth baby came early via C-section because my appendix ruptured. I had a long recovery and a wound that took five months to heal. God was so gracious to us! I am alive and my baby is a sunny, healthy little sweetheart! I am praying for everything to go very well for you and your precious baby, and that you will recover beautifully and be reunited with your family as soon as possible.
