Well it is about time that I get back blogging! It has been a crazy 5 days and I have been resting and hanging out with Bill and my Mommie. Our Thursday ultrasound was pretty good, I was hoping for another consistent 6 or higher but my levels were at 4.5/5. No worries from the doctor. The Bloodflow to the baby looks great. We have all come to understand that I am just going to have low fluid and that is that. We are just going to focus on the baby's bloodflow and growth. This will determine when we will have to deliver. Dr. Gomez was able to show us Baker's growth chart as of last week and he is looking great. We will be measuring him again on Thursday and I am looking forward to seeing how our little one is growing.
My mom came to stay with me on Thursday night and gave Daddy a night to get some rest and we had a wonderful evening. My Mom-in-Law came over and we had a fun little Girls Night In. :-) My mom made awesome Pasta with Broccoli, salad, and bread; she completely spoiled me. She is the best! My fellow ACE Coaches came by to see me on Wednesday night and we had a fun little staff meeting in room #288. John Cerqueira, Bill's bestie from NC State, also came by to visit us and it was so great to see him. He is so funny and I know Bill appreciated him coming down from Charlotte to visit.
After our cute little Girls night in on Thursday, I had my normal 9pm hour heart monitoring and Baker had some dips in his heartrate. The nurse spoke with my doctor and they decided to put me on the monitor all night, just to keep an eye on baby. Well at about 1pm, they nurses came in to try and help me change positions because little one's heartbeat had dipped again. Next thing I knew, Dr. Williams was in my room and calmly told me that they were going to hook me back up to some fluid and have an iv ready in case we needed to deliver tonight. What??? I was like huh? It's 1:30 in the am and had no idea what was going on. She said that it probably will be fine, that we were just "bringing an umbrella in case it started to rain." I thought that was a great way of saying that they were preparing for anything. If anyone knows what happened at our Charleston Wedding, they will know that we are always carrying our umbrella. Haha.
We started our 29th week on Friday-YAY! Every Friday is a great day that little Baker is still Baking. Well since they put me back on the fluid, he has been doing great. Bill came and stayed with me Friday Night and My mom came to stay on Saturday night. They sure are a great team! Dad brought me some lunch on Saturday, yay for Jersey Mike's! and it was so nice to visit with him. He has been so awesome to come and visit. i feel like half of my posts involve a whole lot of talk about food. haha! Well, the doctor said to make sure I eat a lot so that I can grow this baby...and everyone has been so great in helping me to avoid the hospital food-you have no idea how fantastic that is!
I have just been trying to rest. Thursday night was super tough and I didn't get a wink of sleep, neither did my mom and she actually went and worked on Friday-what a trooper! I have been watching movies and reading and have barely been on Facebook-whoa, that's crazy! That's why it has taken me a few days to get back on my blog updates. Baby's heartrate seemed to stabilize on Friday and he looked great over the weekend. They decided on Sunday to take me off constant monitoring and they removed my iv. It was nice to be released for a little while. :-)
SNOW!!!
We were expecting a big snow storm on Monday, so Bill came Sunday morning prepared to weather the storm with me. Sure enough, the snow is here and we have had a fun snow day today. The view from #288 is great, we are right by the roof and it is covered with snow. We got about 5-7 inches and Atlanta is shut down. I think that my cute Husband will be hanging out here tomorrow as well. Since the city shut down, our ultrasound was cancelled. I am not sure when we will be going this week, but I will defintely keep everyone posted. We had a few dips this morning on Baker's heartrate...so...I am back on 24-hour monitoring and hooked up to an iv. The Fluid seems to reallly stabilize this little boy, so let's keep the fluid pumping! He had the hiccups today as soon as they hooked me up, I am sure he started chugging the extra fluid.
We hope to go in tomorrow for our Ultrasound, but it will probably be more like Wednesday. We are stocked up here with Hot Chocolate and marshmallows and enjoying the snow. We're watching the Auburn/Oregon game right now and it is a GREAT game!
We are hoping little one's heartrate continues to stabilize...Keep Baking Baker! You're doing great, babydoll!
