34 Weeks

Wow, I guess it has been quite a while since I have updated this. A lot has happened since my last post. On Wednesday, June 24th I had another ultrasound. The doctor came into my room shortly after and said I could go home! I was quite surprised. I have been home ever since then. I am still on bed rest with bathroom and shower privileges but in the comforts of my own home. Since I have been home, I experienced regular contractions only once. The doctor instructed me to take an extra dose of my medication and wait it out for an hour to make sure they went away…and sure enough, they did.

I just had my second follow up appointment today. I am now 34 weeks along and everything checked out good. The doctor says my cervix is measuring at .5 centimeters and I am 2 centimeters dilated, which is not unusual for 34 weeks. I also had another ultrasound today (probably my last one). The baby weighed in at 4 pounds 14 ounces give or take 12 ounces. That is 1 pound more than 2 weeks ago. We could actually see chubbiness on her legs…we like chubby!!

They also confirmed my c-section is scheduled for Friday, August 14th @ 9:30am…that is, if I make it that far. At this point if I go into labor, they will not try to stop it…they will just do an emergency c-section.

Here is a picture of me that was taken yesterday. We have not posted any more ultrasound pictures, because they have not been very clear the past few times…it is hard to tell what you are looking at.
