Total Weight Gain: 21 lbs.
Pregnancy Woes this week: Another transfusion…heartburn…rib pain.
Happy times this week: We had a 3-D ultrasound on Tuesday and got to see her beautiful face. She’s a sucker. She liked to suck on her hand, her arm, her toes. Also got a new OB this week that I love. I feel safe and confident in my doctor now. Whew, huge sigh of relief.
Belly Button Status: Still half-way in and half out. When I wear shirts it pokes out most of the time now. My husband says it feels like bubble gum.
Food Cravings: Nothing particular lately.
Dr. Visits: Saw my new OB and Hematologist this week. Got a referral for a maternal fetal specialist because of my blood disorder and also because I am measuring small. I’ll see that doctor next week. I feel like an old person with all these doctor appointments. Also had my glucose tolerance test and I passed.
New OB decided we would schedule delivery for somewhere in the 28th week so that I can get a transfusion right before delivery. I’m happy to have it scheduled, now I can plan accordingly. This also means instead of having 10 weeks to go, we only have about 8 weeks to go…holy crap. She’s coming soon!
Projects I worked on this week: Worked on embroidery projects while getting transfusion.
Looking Foward to: Ultrasound at the maternal fetal specialist.
