Last weekend on Sunday my friends here in Sheboygan threw me a great baby shower! It was at my previous neighbor's house in Sheboygan. We had a couples shower which was fun, basically a lot of socializing a couple games and presents! We are pretty much all set now! Marc put the pack n play together this am, which we received last weekend, and it is fabulous - I love it! It has a bassinet, vibrating seat and changing table area.
On Tuesday I had a non stress test where they hook me up to monitors and listen to the babies heart beats. It was the 2nd one I've had. The baby boy's heart rate was far too high, so I had to sit and do the test for an extra 30 min. After that, the doctor was still concerned and had me do an ultrasound as well. He is not growing as fast as he should be and the gap between him and his sister is getting bigger. Other than that, all other organs are doing fine and he doesn't seem too much in danger. His environment is a little bit stressful our doc. said, so she is now monitoring him very closely. I know have ultrasounds 2x per week. After each one, I meet with her and she decides if she needs to schedule delivery, or if we are safe to make it to our next apt. On Thursday we had an ultrasound, and at that apt. my doc. said the babies looked healthy enough to make it to Monday. So we now take this day by day.
I made it to last Thursday which was 34 weeks, and after that they won't stop me if I go into labor. The babies would be ok to be born. My next goal is this Thurs or 35 weeks in which case I will be able to deliver here in Sheboygan (as opposed to going to a bigger hospital equipped to handle preemies better). My doc. thinks I can make it! We will see on Mon. afternoon!
I do have some new pics to post - hopefully this afternoon or tomorrow!!
