How far along? 35 weeks :o)
Total weight gain/loss: Up 2 so 13 total
Maternity clothes? All maternity all the time
Stretch marks? Yes and gross.
Sleep: Sleep stinks, but I found out that the couch is my friend. I sleep much better there.
Best moment this week: I love seeing him move and make waves in my belly.
Movement: All the time and I love it (see above)
Food cravings: I eat everything now. I think he dropped so I have a lot more room :o)
Gender: Still a little boy :o)
Labor Signs: UGH unfortunately. We had a scare last Monday. I'll talk about it more in my update.
What I miss: Sleeping like a normal human being
What I am looking forward to: Check up on Friday to make sure everything is ok.
So last Monday I had my normal check up and I had a growth U/S done, I mentioned that I wasn't feeling him as much as normal so my ob/gyn decided that since I was already going to the peri I should be hooked up to the monitoring belts. Well the u/s went great, little man was weighing in at 5.05 lbs (yay!!!) but when I got hooked up to the monitoring belts the nurse came in and then called the Peri in. I knew something was wrong when they were both looking at my print outs. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes on the dot and was immediately sent to the hospital to L&D. I got right in and was hooked up to all the belts and I had an IV put in. I was apparently dehydrated so I got two bags of fluids pumped into me, along with a shot to calm the contractions down. I got sent home on modified bed rest. I went for another check up on Friday and I was put on a stricter bed rest for at least 10 days. The good news it that I'm not dilated, the bad news is that with all these contractions I can go into labor at any time and start dilating. If this happens little man is gonna be taken out since he is still breech.
SOOOO.... as of today I have to keep him inside for at least another 7 days. If I can make it to 36 weeks my Dr is confident that he would not need to spend any time in the NICU. I go for another check up on Friday to see if I made any progress and to check to make sure things are still good.
In other news Mr. H started his new job training. He really likes it and I'm so proud of him :o)

Yay for the great weight! Man, that must have been scary - I'm glad they hooked you up to monitors and found out what was going on. I hope he stays in there another week - I'll be thinking about you guys!
ReplyDeleteHope he continues to bake a little while longer!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a scare! I'm so glad it resolved the way it did, but sorry you had to go through the trauma of being in L&D too soon. At least your dr's are prepared. Whatever happens now, you and your baby will be in good hands.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Isn't it crazy that so much can change so quickly?? I am glad that at least now you and baby are doing well. Lets hope the next 7 days!
ReplyDeleteSo glad they were able to avoid delivery of you little guy at least for a little while! Good luck with bedrest, hope everything goes smoothly for the rest of your pregnancy!
