30 weeks
Nine weeks and counting... I had my latest appointment with my high risk group this afternoon - everything still looks great. The heart is ticking away like it should, and all the measurements show that baby and placenta are growing. My week-by-week book...
Weight Management
So I got my monthly call from BCBS's nurses to check in on my pregnancy. Up until this point I've thought that they've been polite and helpful, so I haven't minded answering their questions or returning their calls. Having worked in healthcare, I understand...
29 Weeks and Counting

22w2d
