I didn't realize that I actually had some readers on this blog, but when I didn't post anything yesterday, I got a couple of emails wondering what was up. I promise, if something really important happens, you will get an email. You will hear about it. Facebook. Email. Blog. Phone call. Something. I promise!
Yesterday's BPP was perfect yet again. 8/8. Next week is our big growth scan. This will once again determine whether or not we will continue on with the pregnancy. I really do feel like I have grown, so I'm not particularly worried. I am having trouble bending over and getting up and down, so I know my belly is getting bigger. I am anxious to know "how much" she has grown. I would love for her to have caught up, that that's talking about like 6 weeks worth of growth in 3 weeks, which I don't think is possible, but I can still hope for it, right? ;-) Realistically, we just want her to stay on her growth curve - 5th%.
I am getting steroid shots on Monday and Tuesday to help develop the baby's lungs more - just in case we do deliver next week. It's kind of a one time thing (like you can only do it once during pregnancy), so the doctors had to decide when was the best time and this is when it was decided. We actually convinced the MFM fellow to let Brad give it to me at home so I don't have to go in three times next week. I'm sure Brad is looking forward to shooting me up.
One sad bit of news is that the MFM fellow we have been seeing every Monday and Thursday is changing rotations starting next week (such is the life of a resident and fellow), so we're going to get someone new. I really liked our fellow and am sad we'll have to change. I had the other fellow that is coming on next week in the very very beginning of pregnancy (like at the 6 week ultrasound where nobody thought the baby was going to make it), so I have met her before. I doubt she remembers us, but at least I have seen her before, you know?
Ok, that's it. Other than that, Ben is skipping his naps and being a big mess of a 3 year old. Sadie had her 18 month check up and has quite the spunky side (especially when it comes to her brother). We had our carpets cleaned yesterday, so we are now going to start getting ready for the baby. Yikes!
