Dr. Luba Foltz


Today, we met again with our OB/GYN physician, Dr. Luba Foltz. This is Week 37 of the pregnancy, so if the baby comes at any time now, it is not considered "pre term".

Dr. Foltz said everything looks GREAT. The results from the Ultrasound are good: Baby Gabriella is now approximately 7 pounds and 10 ounces, and she thinks her weight will be around 8 pounds if born on the due date (May 11th). Also, Gabriella's head is down, which is good (we guess), but has resulted in some painful kicks to Mommy's ribs! Finally, Dr. Foltz is VERY proud of Elzbieta's excellent job handling her gestational diabetes and weight throughout the pregnancy. What a GREAT Mommy!!!

After all of this good news, Dr Foltz agreed to pose for a quick photo with us, before rushing off to the hospital to deliver another baby.

Many thanks to Dr. Foltz: we just love her and our so glad that she is our physician and new friend. We look forward to her delivering our new baby girl!

Kevin and Ela - So glad to hear continuing great news. You both look wonderful! Can't say we're surprised that Elzbieta is a great Mommy already - there was never any doubt!

Gabriella - We're getting SO excited to meet you. It seems like just yesterday that we got the wonderful news that you would be joining the family, and we cannot wait for that day to come! Oh, and stop kicking your mommy!!

Love you all!
Meghan and Ryan

We'll be thinking about you as you two enter your last week of "just the two of us."

Soon you'll be holding that bundle of joy and realize that it would be impossible to love so quickly and so completely.

Good luck
