35wks!!

Well, the countdown is on. I started my weekly NST and biopyshcials this week. I actually went in on Tuesday for a NST - apparently 2 things NEVER to say to the nurse answering the phone - numbness in finger and pain on the left side of stomach. I was just calling to verify that these things were normal and that i would see the Dr on Thursday to discuss. Well, they ended up saying i needed to come in..which then i started to think, OMG, something MUST be wrong with the baby. Well, due to the BP issues, they had to bring me in as a precaution and since i mentioned the numbness in my fingers (due to swelling) and the pain on my side (could have been kidney) they needed to see me. So, baby is fine, all is well and my BP is just fine as well. Swelling is normal (i wasn't concerned) and then the nurse proceeded to tell me that she gained like 60lbs of water weight and had pre-e and all is well....all the while, i'm sitting there going, why are all these nurses and Dr's focusing on my swelling and pre-e and blood pressure....and then i started to put the pieces together.... i did mention that i org. called just to make sure that it was all normal and that i org. wasn't worried until they rushed me here and hooked me to a machine...lol.

So, my NST yesterday went much smoother.....baby is doing well. Got to see TreeHugger on the ultrasound and she's doing VERY well - she's est. to weigh about 6.5lbs!!! And she's still a SHE!! She's measuring ahead - about 1wk and some days. Dr said i should expect her around 38-39wks....that's only 3-4wks away!!

I also no longer have to check in with the diabetes dr - still have to check my sugars, but he said i did really well. :) YEah!!! I will go back in October though to discuss my thyroid and see what the next step with that is, but for now, i'm forgetting about it. :)
