All is well…
...For those of you who might have been wondering. We were just putting off posting about it because we haven’t coaxed the pictures into the magic box yet. We had a great tech today with much patience who got a couple of really neat 3D pics.
The summary goes: baby measuring perfectly at 49th percentile for gestational age. Peri is moving to Chicago, so will see new peri next time...once a month now. Don’t mind seeing new peri since I showed off how very confused I am sometimes today and I’ll be embarassed forevermore now because I’m like that. Repeat labs at 28 weeks, hardcore monitoring starts at 32 weeks (Happy New Year!), delivery at 38-39 weeks. The holidays are making it impossible to schedule freaking anything, which means the glucose-before-your-next-appointment is going to get done at 26 weeks rather than 28. What can a girl do when her doc is out for a couple of weeks after Thanksgiving? Up a total of 6 pounds for the pregnancy by their scale...I’ve been bouncing all over the place with the weird weather. It warms up, I blow up like a balloon. It cools down, I spend the day running to the restroom. Ah, water retention...lol! Not that I have a thing to complain about in the weight gain department, I just find it sort of funny. My blood pressure was the lowest it’s been in forever. That was actually the lowest reading that particular nurse has ever gotten on me. Woo-hoo! We found out that Sadie freaks out if anybody goes near my belly, be it with Doppler or measuring tape. She had no problem at all watching me get a flu shot, though. Silly girl.
Pictures when Jay gets a chance to mess around with the scanner or camera or some combination of the two…
