Weekly Appointments Suck

Well my first weekly appointment didn't go as planned. I ended up going to L&D again for fluids and to be monitored again!! Hopefully this will be my last time being monitored here.

Follow Up after L&D Visit

Well since I had the L&D visit, my OB wanted to see me the next day. We have come to find out that I will be having this baby no later than 37 weeks. So only a few short weeks left!!

First Trip to L&D

Spent the morning being monitored in L&D. Baby decided it wanted to dance, kick, and poke most of the time. Heart rate would be between 150-165 depending on the movements. We were also finally able to get the recording of the heartbeat for the lamb!! Since my BP was up at this time, my OB wanted me to start weekly appointments to monitor better so I won't end up with preeclampsia.

30 Weeks!!

Made to the 30 week mark!! Baby still has a strong heartbeat, but still has low to almost no fluid. Baby is also breech and since there isn't enough fluid to turn the baby, I will most likely have a csection. If still breech at my 34 week appointment, we will schedule my csection for early to mid October

A Special Song

Everytime I would sit and listen to music the baby would move, but anytime Blackbird by The Beatles came on, it would kick and move so much more than normal. So this song became our special song and I will always remember this sweet memory.

Sweet Friends

A few friends I had met online gathered up some money and got us this really cool lamb. It came with a little heart that could record the babys heartbeat from an ultrasound!!

Not What We Wanted

July 7th appointment seemed to take forever to get here. With not sleeping well and hoping they were wrong, we prepared ourselves for the worst news possible. And sadly we got just that. Baby 2.0 didn't have a bladder or either kidney. We were given the option to abort the pregnancy or continue it knowing the outcome wouldn't be what we wanted. Of course we chose to carry on with it as neither of us believe in abortion. Now we had to figure out when would be the best time to tell our 6 year old that the baby he knows about and is looking forward to having won't be coming home with us
