The End is in Sight

I had another OB appointment today. Good news, my blood pressure was better. Everything looked good on the ultrasound. Haley is measuring around 7 pounds 9 ounces. I am not dilated yet, but 70% effaced, which means my cervix is thinning out a little. The doctor doesn't want me to go until my due date, so she is considering inducing me next Friday, Leap Day!!! Induction depends on if my cervix is dilated at all at my appointment next Thursday, she wants me to be at least 2cm. If my blood pressure is still acting up and I have not dilated she will still induce me on Friday. But, if my blood pressure is fine, and there is no dilation, then she will wait until Monday the 3rd. She seems to think that I will have made some progress though by next Thursday. So lets keep our fingers crossed. I think a Leap Year baby would be fun....no matter what "Big Papa" says!!!

More Bedrest

I went to the OB again today. My blood pressure is still acting up. It's high when I'm up and active and normal when I'm lying down, so guess what that means.....more bedrest. One good thing that has happened because of bedrest is it helped me lose 4 pounds of water weight, so needless to say my feet and legs feet 100% better. Because my blood pressure is normal while lying down, they don't have any urgency to induce me...boohoo!!! I had another nonstress test, and Haley is doing perfectly. I'll be going to the OB twice a week from here on out, my next appointment is on Thursday, and I will have yet another ultrasound........good times!!!!!

Bed Rest

Well, I woke up Friday morning with some MAJOR swelling and I felt really bad. I had Will check my blood pressure and it was really high, so I went to the OB. I have been put on bedrest indefinately. When I'm up my blood pressure is anywhere from 145/100 to 165/100...not good. But when I'm laying down and resting its around 125/80...therefore, I am now chained to the couch or bed....fun stuff. Everything is fine with Haley, she doesn't seem to be affected by it, the danger in high blood pressure is mainly lies with me and increased risk of developing preeclampsia or eclampsia. I'm feeling a little better today, just bored to death!!! I'm actually surprised I haven't had BP problems until now, given my history with high blood pressure before pregnancy, so I've done really well until now. It's not too uncommon for this to happen in the last few weeks of pregnancy. I go back to the OB on Monday, and I imagine if I'm still having problems with my BP then they may talk about induction....I'll keep you posted!!!

31 Days and Counting!

I went to the OB again yesterday for another quick ultrasound. According to the measurements, she weighs between 6.5 and 7 pounds and still has a huge head!!! She was very active during the ultrasound and constantly kicking the ultrasound probe, guess she didn't like us making fun of her head. I start going to the OB every week now. They will also be doing fetal nonstress tests every week to measure her movements, heartrate, and how she reacts to contractions if I'm having any.

Giant Baby!!!

I had another ultrasound today. Everything looks good. Haley is measuring in the 63rd percentile. The ultrasound tech kept measuring her head because it was measuring so big, and she finally said "I can't get the measurements any smaller, sorry you're baby has a huge head". Thats going to be fun in about 2 more months!!! The ultrasound estimates her to be around 4lb4oz already and measuring around 34 weeks. The OB isn't going to change my due date. Since I'm tall, she would expect the baby to measure on the bigger side. I go back for another ultrasound in 4 more weeks....any bets on how big she will be then?????

Still a Girl

We had another ultrasound today, and yes Bogey is still a girl. Everything looks good. Haley was playing with her feet the whole time during the ultrasound. We got some really good pictures this time too. There is a really good one I posted in the photo album of her nose and lips. The next OB appointment is in 4 more weeks.

Boy or Girl???

Bogey is a GIRL!!!!!! We had our 18 week ultrasound today, and the tech was very certain it is a girl. She was not in the best position to be able to see some of her anatomy, like the heart, so I'm going to have another ultrasound on Nov 1.

Second Ultrasound

I'm starting to feel human again. The sickness is finally fading but I am still pretty tired. Will and I went to the Dr today for the 1st trimester ultrasound. Everything looked good. Bogey was very active, squirming all around. Kicking a lot, sucking its thumb, and hiccuping. Very cool to actually see something that resembles a baby!!! Only about 5 more weeks to see if Bogey is a he or a she!!!!

First Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound today. Everything looked great. The due date stayed the same....March 9. The hearbeat was also good, 124bpm. Our next appointment is August 17th. I've been pretty much constantly nauseous all week, hoping it gets better soon!!!!

First OB Appointment

Had my first OB appointment, now it is really official!!!! The first ultrasound is scheduled for 7-20-07.
