Like I mentioned last update, in mid-September baby’s measurements are up and she’s sitting in the 50th percentile and weighed about 3lbs, 13ozs. I also gained a whopping 4 lbs since my previous appt – doh!!!
This morning, my weight is down 3 lbs and my tummy is still measuring at 28 weeks – so no noticeable growth on the outside for the past 5 weeks. So my doctor has scheduled me for another ultrasound for next Tuesday to check on baby’s growth/fluid and blood flow and make sure that baby is growing properly and it’s just my tummy size that’s not cooperating. ;)
Baby has also dropped and quite low – it’s getting uncomfortable to sit up straight because my belly sits on my lap! Har har…at least my heartburn is starting to go away b/c baby is down so far. ;)
We checked the heartbeat and it is nice and strong, and the skip appears to have cleared itself up nicely. We didn’t hear one skip in the 30 seconds or so that we listened, so THAT is great news!! I am in for my regular weekly monitoring on Friday so we will get a clearer picture then of the heartbeat, but the doctor was pleased this morning.
The doctor has ordered me to start taking the twice a day heparin – possibly in preparation for an earlier than planned delivery – and out of caution I am sure…so we will be switching over to that this weekend.
So….not sure WHAT the next steps are. We will have to wait and see what the u/s results say and chat with the doctor next Thursday.
I am REALLY hoping that baby waits and cooperates at least until the end of the month – I really can’t afford to start EI until November….and I am not scheduled to go off of work until the end of October – but I guess babies wait for no one right? Har har
Can’t wait for the shower on Sunday! Oh…and our stroller came in this week – woohoo! We are picking it up on Saturday. Not sure where we are going to put it, but we will have it in hand. Can’t wait! Even the kids are excited. Har har
Love and Kisses,
