Yesterday was my weekly OB check up. Andrew has been home all week with a mystery (I think stomach bug) sickness, and Amelia's school was delayed by 2 hrs due to some snow the night before, so we all went to my afternoon appt. My vitals are: 175lbs, BP 116/56 (and that's with the girls pounding on the arm rest of the chair I sat in to get my BP:), urine was showing +2 for protein, the same readings I've been getting.....
After this, went to the sonogram room. The technician who I haven't met before measured all the baby's bones and body parts and came up with a total baby weight of 3lbs 9oz and all in all measuring at about 30 weeks - ahead of the baby's actual 29 week age. My amniotic fluid level, cervix and now "low-lying" placenta were all fine. The baby's heartbeat was around 146 BPM. The baby had moved (of course) and was again facing up, but laying cross wise across my belly. We got to see her face again. When the technician left the room, she mentioned that "it looked like the lovenox was working for me". Anybody want to guess what I said? :) HOPEFULLY, we'll see in 10 weeks. :) I met another doctor in the practice who was happy to report that all was good and the baby looked good. I asked about obtaining the cord blood at birth to preserve. The doctor said, no problem - they do it all the time. No further testing at this time and my next appt. is scheduled for 1 week.
Dave sent away for the cord blood kit which he will carry to the hospital and follow up on once the cord blood is taken.
