Update

Hi everyone! Today we are 30 weeks and 6 days. Only 32 days to go! Yesterday was a day full of doctor’s appointments. We saw Dr. A first and things went well. So far I have gained 27 pounds. From here on out I should be gaining about 1 pound per week. So my grand total should be around 32 pounds by July 27. Let's see if I can hold it to that. Everything checked out fine. They hooked me up to the monitor for a while to monitor her heart beat and kick counts. All is well.
The next appointment was with Dr. K. Here we had an ultrasound to take her measurements and make sure that she was growing at a normal rate. She checked out at 3lbs. 8ozs. We are very happy with this weight! From here on out she should be gaining about 1/2 lb per week. If we make it all the way to July 27 she should be between 5 1/2 to 6 lbs. My next appointment will be July 7 at 8:15 in the morning. At this time he is going to make a decision about my hospital stay. If he thinks that I am continuing to do well then he will let me stay on bed rest at home. If he feels that things are looking risky then he will go ahead and admit me to labor and delivery. In the words of Dr. K "we are sitting on a ticking time bomb. This thing could blow at any moment". Here's hoping we can prove him wrong and make it all the way to July 27!
