More updates!

October 27th appointment - 34 weeks 6 days - measuring at 36 weeks but lost two pounds from my weigh in two weeks ago. Blood sugars look alright most of the time but some of my fastings are high. Working with nutrition to try to correct that. Not using insulin or anything to supplment, but just monitoring and changing my diet. Ultrasound showed that my fluid levels were good. Belt monitoring showed the baby's heart rate would go up as she moved. They had to use this vibrating thing to wake her up because she wasn't moving at first. After that she didn't want to stop moving. No contractions and her heart rate did what it was supposed to. So far so good - five weeks left! :) Back again to the doctor in one week!

October 13th appointment - 32 weeks 6 days - doctor didn't tell me what I measured at. But I will start NLT? (something like that) in two weeks. For this I will be seen once a week and come in weekly each Thursday morning. I will have an ultrasound and fetal monitoring wtih the belts on my belly. Two pound weight gain from 3 weeks ago.

October 11 we took the boys to a sibling class at the hospital. They got to practice holding a baby and changing a diaper (on dolls). The boys went with us to tour the labor and delivery floor to see where mommy will stay and where they will meet their baby sister. I really liked this class. Conner laughed all through the short video. It taught that babies can only eat formula from a bottle of breast milk and pointed out some other good things as well.

September 22 appointment - 29 weeks 6 days - bp 119/77 and only gained two pounds since my last visit (about a month ago). Baby's heart rate was in 130s.

September 22 was the labor and delivery class. We got to tour the labor and delivery floor. This was helpful. The movies we watched were not that helpful. If anything they just worried me about pains of labor again!

September 17 we had the 3D/4D ultrasound in Lake Charles. Our whole family was there and to my surprise Conner could actually make things out and would say "There is her face" or "There is her hand" as we watched on the screen. We have a DVD and lots of pictures! We were very happy!
