I am now seeing the Dr.'s every week on Wednesdays. Good news- The Wednesday before the wedding, Dr. Birbaum said I was good to go to the wedding...I obviously would have gone anyway, but I am glad we had his approval...
not so good news- Dr. Birbaum and Dr. Turano have been monitoring my placenta the last few weeks and it has not moved as much as it needs to to have a natural birth. They started talking about a c-section and what that would entail.
Last Wednesday, after the wedding, we meet with Dr. Birnbaum and he said things look ok, but they will know more this Wednesday when I have another sono. If the placenta hasn't moved, it is looking more and more like a c-section, but my fingers are crossed. Of course, a c-section is not my plan!
As for little pea, he or she now weighs 4 lbs, 14oz as of 1 1/2 weeks ago. I am hoping this Wednesday little pea will be over 5 lbs. I have gained a total of 15 lbs so far. As of the last visit, I had only gained 11 lbs, and I thought that was not enough, so I really enjoyed the wedding, ate a lot of food and brought cake home, a week later, I was at 15lbs.. so now I feel a little better!!! and the cake was really good too!!!
Little pea has been moving all over. Ralph and I have not been sleeping well. He says I am snoring a lot and when I turnover my hips are popping... he can even hear the popping every now and then. We both slept very well last night....because he is in Cincinnati and I am home...
Little Pea's arrival is just around the corner and we are so excited....
