    We had another growth scan yesterday at the peri, and our little guy A has dropped to the 8th percentile. Three weeks ago, he was in the 23rd or 25th. So, the peri is going to do one more scan on Aug. 4 and most likely deliver the next day. My OB said she doesn't really see him not scheduling the delivery at that point. They just feel at this point, it would be better to have him on the outside. After spending the past couple of weeks wishing we were at the end, now I'd give anything to carry them for 4 more weeks instead of 2. I also never really gave a thought to NICU because we assumed they'd be nice sized kiddos like their brother, and now I'm having to face the facts that we might have at least a bit of a NICU stay. Needless to say my hubby and I are a bit stressed and trying to quickly get everything done that we thought we had 4 more weeks to do (we just moved a month and a half ago, so we're still finishing up those things too).

    Thanks for letting me vent.

    :hug: I know it can be stressful when the plan is moved up on you. I am hoping for a safe and happy delivery for you and your babies.
