I had my 29 week appointments this week. Another Biophysical Profile and an appointment with my doctor. Babies are doing very well! No growth updates until next week but I got to see Baby A put his toes in his mouth and Baby B suck his thumb. So damn cute! Lisa had to measure the foot when it was up by his mouth because it looked huge; it's 2 inches. Wowzas!
Not quite as funny as seeing Baby A grab his "boy parts" as Lisa calls them. My mom was there last week to witness that one! They sure do start early :)
My glucose tolerance test came back normal as did my iron and a few other things. The doc is very pleased with how the pregnancy is going and I have to agree :) We also talked about possible c section dates. We'll know more in a few weeks but it looks like they will be coming early. Our 2 tentative dates are July 20th or 30th!! OMG!!! The doc said that once the lungs are formed there isn't any reason for me to stay pregnant. That's good and bad news. We are NOT ready. They don't have names and the nursery is not done. It's making me very anxious! But, at least I won't have to worry those last few weeks.

Wow! Your date is coming up fast! We just set my c-sec date this last week too! It's very surreal.
ReplyDeleteNot to be a stalker - but I'm much more bored that I used to be and you need to post more! I always look forward to the hilarity that ensues on your posts and can't seem to find anyone else who is so much fun to read!
Hi Kara,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! My name is Kirsten, and I'm a member of the public relations team that raises awareness for the fetal fibronectin test. I read your blog and thought you might like to become a fan of the fetal fibronectin test on Facebook (www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/FullTerm-The-Fetal-Fibronectin-Test/39071689435). On our fan page we share the latest on the fetal fibronectin test, prematurity and all things pregnancy.
Additionally, if oyu're interested in helping spread awareness about the benefits of the fetal firbronectin test or receiving our quarterly newsletter, please contact me by emailing fFN@scwhartz-pr.com. My team generates stories about the benefits of the test among women at high-risk for delivering early in national, local and online outlets.
We're always interested in speaking with women who had the test and are willing to share their story to make sure other, at-risk pregnant women know there is a test available to help predict premature birth.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Kirsten
