We are making progress

I just got back from my ob appointment. I must tell you it went shockingly well. This was the first appointment since receiving the GD diagnosis over the phone. The dr was unimpressed with the diagnosis. She said that she would not have classified my results as GD but considering I have P.CO.S, It doesn't hurt anything. I did not know this until today -but my uterus has been measuring ~2 weeks ahead ever since i was 15 weeks. No one ever said anything to me about it until today. Good news is that it's consistent therefore she is not concerned. She told me that up to 2 weeks measuring ahead is totally w/in the norm. (just passing along knowledge) My bp was perfect, no trace of protein in my urine (yah)! They switched my lo.veno.x to he.p.ari.n today. So i am now on 2 shots of heparin a day. I was informed today that I cannot breast feed if on the lo.veno.x. (which they will put me back on after delivery) We will have to address that issue in a few weeks. I need time to think about this and do my own lil research. She reassured me that she wanted to aim for a vaginal birth. (yah for that) If my water breaks I am not to do my he.par.in dose. I think that about sums up my appointment today. I schedule my next 5 appointments with the office. I have one more regular appointment in 2 weeks. Then after that appointment, I will start going to weekly nst's followed by a dr visit. The Ob's office would like me to have 1 more visit (after the one in 2 weeks) with the mfm. I tell ya, I don't want to leave his office, I jut adore him

My peri ( mfm) appointment is also in 2 weeks (before my ob's) - we will get another glimpse of Mini. I am hoping that his weight is going to be right on track so there will be nothing to worry about. He has been so good to me.

So as you can see, the prayers, good thoughts etc. are working. Thank you so very much.

We have our childbirth education class tomorrow. I chose not to go to any weekly (or biweekly) classes due to our work schedules. I am very excited to be able to go to it. I heard it was very informative and helpful.

We have our OB Hospital tour Wednesday at 7pm. Things are really progressing. I am feeling much more calm. My shower is the 17th (almost 1 week away) and I am really looking forward to it.

Yah for Friday. I am ready for the weekend. I bet you are too

Sounds like everything has been moving along nicely! I also wanted to say happy Mother's Day to you! I will come back on Monday with a picture of my plethera of BFPs per your request!

Well it sounds like the appointment went eall. Did you want to try and breastfeed Mini or are you just going to try and formula feed him? Glad Mini is measuring at a good size. Only a short amount of time left. I can't believe Mini will be here right around the corner.

If breastfeeding is something you want to do, then I desperately hope that you're able to. I fought long and hard to do it, and it was such a wonderful experience for us. I'm fully aware, through my experiences, that it's not for everyone, but, like I said, it was special for me.

Sounds like things are really moving along! I'm glad the doctors are treating you well, and I hope you had a nice class today. Happy Mother's day mama...can I say that yet to you? If not, I do apologize. It just slipped out. I'm just really excited for you that you're so close now! Keep us informed on how things are going, it's always nice to hear :-)
