The wait and see game

Just got back from the high risk doctor.  We did growth today, and the baby weighs about 4lbs and 3ozs!!  He’s a big boy already.  If he keeps growing at this rate, and if I get to full term, I’m looking at having a pretty big baby!!!  Everything looked really good today… but I’m not […]

Everything looks great

I saw my regular ob doctor today.  I got hooked up to the fetal monitor, and I had a couple contractions while being hooked up… but I didn’t feel them.  The doctor said that is normal, that my body is just starting to prepare itself for delivery.  I’m 32 weeks and 2 days today!!  My […]

I passed the 3 hour test

I I took the 3 hour test today… only had to have my blood drawn 4 times, and not 5!!  But they had to draw from the exact same vein they used yesterday, because they couldn’t get a vein in my other arm.  So 6 sticks in 2 days in the exact same place… not […]

Test Updates

Things went well w/ the re-check today, I have stopped leaking fluid, which is a good sign.  The doctor decided to go ahead and test me for Group B Strep and a couple of other things pregnant women are at risk for. I should know those results in a few days.  I didn’t pass my […]

Pregnancy Updates

Well, I overslept this morning for my glucola screening, so I had to reschedule that and my rhogam shot for tomorrow.  I did go see my regular ob doctor today.  Everything went well during the hour I spent hooked up to the fetal monitor.  The baby has a very good heartbeat!  I appear to be […]

Good signs

Everything went well at the doctors office today.  I saw my high risk specialist first, and my cervix measured 12mm.  They looked at the baby, and checked my amniotic fluid and everything looks really good.  And instead of going back next week, they said I don’t have to come back for 2 weeks.  So I’ll […]

Still pregnant

Had a good checkup today at the doctor.  My cervix is holding steady at 11mm, and the doctor said he just simply can’t explain what is keeping me pregnant.  He said that a cervix this small, is just unheard of, and he just can’t understand it.  But, I’m still pregnant, and to me that’s all […]

Rob leaving for Iraq

Back from another trip to the doctor.  My cervix measured 10mm, which is the same size as last week, so no change is a good sign!!  The doctor calls me the “amazing cervix girl”.  He said he just can’t believe that I am still pregnant, he can’t believe my cervix is holding up.  I keep […]

We got to see our baby

Back from another appointment today.  The cervix measured about 10mm, which is almost the same as last week (11mm).  We got to see the baby for a little bit this morning.  He was sleeping, as usual.  The ultrasound tech woke him up with a buzzer she put on my belly. He stretched, rolled over, and […]

Damian is right on target

Just got back from another appointment.  We did growth today, which means they measured all of Damian’s bones and waist and head to make sure he’s growing like he should, and he is.  He’s right on target!!  He weighs a little over 2 pounds now.  He looks great!!  Everything as far as he is concerned […]
