OT-26 week baby Lacie update!

I went to my perinatalogist today for a regular four week visit.  I have one more like this and then I start going every two weeks, then every week, then TWICE a week UGH!  Most of the news is how *I* am doing.  Lacie's heartrate was great as usual and she's quite the wiggler.  I think she'll be playing soccer in GBMCs nursery when she comes out!  If she isn't kicking me in the crotch she's kicking me above my belly button (oh and my PORT is starting to stick out!!!).  No sono this time.  As for me, I am allowed to gain a pound a week, so each monthly visit means I can gain 4 pounds.  This visit I only gained 1 pound - WOOHOO, just 12 pounds so far this pregnancy.  My blood pressure is wonderful.  It was 130/70 today.  My sugars are also really nice and tight.  By now in my pregnancy with Kylie (pre-op) my BP would have been over 140/90 and the doc would have doubled my BP meds and my sugars would have been SO crazy that I would be taking tons of insulin at bedtime PLUS fast acting insulin with all meals.  All in all a good visit!  Now, can you beleive I only have ELEVEN weeks left????  Amnio is set for Monday, 12/8 (to check lung maturity because they are taking Lacie 3 weeks early) and if all is fine I'll have a c-section on either 12/9 or 12/10.  I'll be in GBMC for FOUR days so anyone who wants to drop by please do so!  I'll have someone post my info for me once we know details.

Wow!!!  Great news!!!

Can't wait to meet her!!!

Heather-
   That is awesome. I hope your BP stays down, and that Lacie grows well. I hope that she takes up ballet and lets off the soccer too! ;)

 

Hey, thanks D!  Her big sister takes gymnastics classes and I have a feeling the Lacie is trying my uterus out for trampoline tricks! lol

Heather,

Wonderful news!! I am so glad all is going well and my how time flies 26 weeks already!!!  Sounds like you got a fiesty healthy happy little girl there, just like her big beautiful sister!!   I can't wait to see her !   I will be up for a visit!!! 

Take care and keep us posted!!

Hugs,
Terri

Thanks Terri!  I can't believe it myself how far I already am!  I remember waiting to get past the 12 weeks to get out of the "woods".

Heather I'm glad to hear you are doing good and wow 11 weeks already. Time sure fly's.

Thanks Kelli!  Yep, 11 weeks to go.  This just means that Christmas is around the corner! AAACK!

This just means that Christmas is around the corner! AAACK! 

Heather:
Great to hear both Mom and Lacie are doing so well!!  I guess you won't be sliding down the hill at the pumpkin patch?  That looks like so much fun.
