Today marks 27 weeks of pregnancy! Five weeks ago, the doctor said we would be lucky if we made it to 24 weeks and a miracle if we could get to 28 weeks. Baby Lucia has surprised us all. She has a tiny body, but a very strong spirit! Around 21 weeks, fluid levels began to decrease rapidly, but never dipped below 4cm. Two weeks ago, fluid levels suddenly started rising again to 6 cm, then 8 cm, then 10 cm as of Friday! I truly feel that all the prayers and fasting from friends and family have helped tremendously. Thank you everyone! According to our 26 week ultrasound, she measured 404 grams (about 14 oz). I am sure that by next week, she will be over a pound. The doctor has tentatively scheduled to take her out on September 30th, at 28 weeks. We are terrified and excited at the same time. Whatever the outcome may be, I feel blessed and honored to be the mother of such a strong, little spirit.
