Doctor Appointment Update
Once again I had to have my blood pressure taken a couple of times and work hard to think happy thoughts! My anxiety level when arriving at the clinic was kind of high impacting the readings. Happy thoughts brought it down to acceptable levels!
No weight gain this week. I actually lost a couple of pounds. I’m sure that will be right back up again at my next appointment thanks to Sara’s chocolate cake and desserts from Erica (multiple yummy things!). Thank you Lord that I don’t have gestational diabetes!
Because my fFn was negative just 4 days ago, she decided not to do another one today. My belly measured between 29 and 30. They like to see that within 2 of the number of weeks you are pregnant So, no worries there.This can also read lower if your baby had “dropped”. The heart rated was in the 150’s (good). And, because she could tell by poking around externally that I wasn’t carrying as low as I was last week, she didn’t do an internal exam this time. Did you get that? The baby isn’t as low! That’s fabulous and I can certainly feel a difference from last week. A week ago, I had this sensation that made me fear if I moved the wrong way the baby would be born right here in our home. I don’t feel that way right now. That’s a great answer to prayer.
Unfortunately, regardless of whether we get good or bad news, that doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to be on bedrest. Good news just means that what I’m doing is working.
Ethan had his stitches taken out today. He’s healing quickly!
How you can pray:
That I wouldn’t get depressed dealing with the monotony and discomfort of bedrest.
For Ethan and Audrey to adapt well to the upheaval that they are experiencing in their daily routines,
That Ethan would have a fabulous day on Friday- His 4th Birthday!
For Nathan to not be overwhelmed with juggling family, household responsibilities and work.
That our baby would continue grow and that he would be healthy and not arrive too early.
