Sign Me Up - Non-Stress Tests
Today I had my next appointment with my primary OB - just a little over 2 weeks left, so they did the Group B Strep culture, listened to the baby's heart, checked my cervix (nothing to report), and then we talked a little about the non-stress test. The...
34w1d - Last High Risk Appointment
Well, although I've immensely enjoyed my experience with my high risk practice and the three OBs in the practice, it feels FANTASTIC to have made my last appointment and have a clean bill of health for myself and, most importantly, the baby. Today's appointment...
33w1d
Just crossed into the "6 weeks left" phase. Yes, my heart is beating a bit quicker thinking of all of those things I so desperately wanted to get done before the baby arrived...and how we're not making much progress. Like our master bath. My husband began...
31w2d...Non-Stress Tests
I had another visit with my primary OB yesterday - everything still is going very well, baby is VERY active (can you step on my bladder and push up on my ribs all day long?), and the heart sounds great. The one question that did arise during my visit...
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...
Nearing 26 Weeks
I had my monthly appointment (a week late...as I spaced and forgot last Monday that I had an appointment) yesterday. Loved only being up 3.5 lbs in five weeks. Holding better course than with my first pregnancy. Although, I had that wonderful stomach...
24w3d
I had my 24 week appointment this past Friday...had to move it from Wednesday as I had the lower GI piece of the wonderful virus about half of the guests to my son's birthday took home as a departing gift. That lasted from early Tuesday morning until...
22w2d
I was asked today how far along I was, and for the first time in my pregnancy I wasn't exactly sure. I know during my first pregnancy that once I reached a certain point, my responses (like most other expectant Moms) were more generalized in terms of...
20w1d
We're slowly closing in on the 26th week mark. Just a few more appointments with the high risk group before we get the final nod that the little guy's heart is just fine. I had my next high risk appointment on Wednesday. Although I love the practice,...
Unveiling
Yes, the baby finally cooperated. I had my fifth ultrasound at the high risk practice on Wednesday. We were escorted back to the sonogram room by a lovely technician named Jody. She introduced herself as a student once we in the room, and asked if it...

16 Weeks
I'm officially 16 weeks today, and as of my ultrasound last week, the baby has now "caught up" to the measurement. Earlier on, the baby's development was about 4-5 days behind (not surprising as I ovulated late), but as of last Wednesday, I was measuring...
Fourth Ultrasound
At 15w1d we had our fourth ultrasound - second one with the high risk practice. The whole appointment took nearly an hour, as the first half we met with the ultrasound technician who took several pictures of the little one with its hands up by its face...

14 Weeks
Although I'm not there gestationally, this is where I am from a LMP standpoint. Had another visit with my primary practice this morning, after waiting about 30 minutes for the doctor, the visit was all of 2 minutes. The baby's heartbeat is right around...
First Trimester Screening
Yesterday morning we headed into the hospital to have my first trimester screening. We didn't do this for our son, so the process was a bit new for us. We spent the first 30 minutes in a room with the ultrasound technician trying to get the baby to flip...
Week 12
Well, officially by charting my cycle I'm officially at week 12 as of my appointment yesterday. However, knowing I ovulated late, I would think that I'm probably not measuring 12 weeks. It's at 12 weeks that I should be able to start my medication, however...
