Due date!

Emberly Raelyn Grimm will be born on 21 September 2009. Man it can't come soon enough!

Daycare

I'm so excited! I found daycare for Emberly! It's 2 ladies that are certified that run a daycare out of the home. I went to visit them yesterday and as soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable and at ease. They charge $180 a week, but that is actually cheaper than the daycare centers in my area. They are asking $250 a week and up!

I have to give them a deposit to hold my slot since I won't be needing them until November.

I have my OB appointment today and I get to schedule my c-section! Woo-hoo! I'm so excited!

Having diabetes is not an easy thing. I hate the diet that I'm on. I want candy so bad it's killing me!

Diabetes

The doctor's office just called and I have gestational diabetes. I have to see the doctor on Thursday. DAMN DAMN DAMN

Doc visit

I was able to see Dr. Hodor (perinatologist) yesterday at 2:30. He did an ultrasound and she was just a movin on the screen, but still couldn't feel her inside. He said it might be because there are many layers of tissue (fat) between me and the baby and it is making it hard to feel her.

But I heard her heartbeat and saw it acutally beat. I saw her breathing and her mouth was opening and closing! So cute. They tried to do a 3D picture but her arm kept blocking her face, like she was hiding!

Anyway, he wants to start seeing me every 2 weeks and I have one more fetal fibronectin test on Aug 4.

Please pray for Emberly.

Hospital

I made a visit to the hospital on Friday. I hadn't felt the baby move in about 4 days and I started to get worried. I called my OB and he told me to meet him at the hospital.

I got there and they hooked me up on a monitor. I heard the baby's heartbeat and could hear her moving, but couldn't feel her. The nurse and doctor was not sure why I couldn't feel her moving.

So they finally sent me home. I ran into my other OB (there are like 6 of them that I see) on Saturday at the store and she asked how I was doing. She told me to call the perinatologist on Monday and schedule an ultrasound.

I felt her move some over the weekend but nothing like how she was moving a few weeks ago. I also know that the bigger she gets, the less room she runs out of to move, but I still should be feeling something.

That's all for now.....

Glucose

I had a 3 hour glucose test this morning. It wasn't too bad, just time seemed to go really slow!

Yesterday my co-workers threw me a birtday party! It was so fun and unexpected. They are a bunch of great people to work with.

Next OB appointment is July 28 and I will get to schedule my c-section! Woo-hoo!

Wednesday

I had my appointment with the perinatologist and OB yesterday. The most exciting part of the 1st appointment was that I got a 4D ultrasound! Emberly is soooooooo cute! She is breech and weighs 2 lb 14 oz! She is exactly 1 lb less than Jordyn when she was born and they are 1 month apart. My cervix shortened and they did another fetal fibronectin test. This time he sent the sample to the lab. The last time he did the test, he just threw it out because my cervix was still "long". I have to get one more test done in 4 weeks (Aug 4).

My OB appointment went okay too. Heard the baby's heart beat, he measure my tummy. I have to get another glucose test done on Friday because my sugar level was 138 and they want it below 139. So.............. They also have some other blood work they want done on that day too. My next appt with OB is July 28 and then I get to schedule my c-section! Woo-hoo!

Oh yeah, I gained 9 lbs in the past month...............boooooooohooooooooo!
