29 Weeks!!

How far along? 29 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: -3 lbs

Sleep: just ok.

Best moment this week: Getting out of the hospital on Saturday afternoon.  I got out of the hospital about 1 hour before Diya had to be at the church for her First Holy Communion! =)  Seeing Baby BGC on ultrasound!! She is getting so big!  =)  The baby is measuring up to 2 weeks ahead! The perinatologist said she is a "hefty baby!" given all that has happened in this pregnancy!  Her speculated weight according to ultrasound was 2 lbs 12 oz!

Movement: Yes, she is a busy busy bee these days!

 Food cravings: Nothing. =(

Gender: GIRL!!! She is for sure a SHE!!! =)

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Feeling well. =/

What I am looking forward to: I am supposed to get a growth scan in a couple of weeks. I'm excited for that!

Milestones: I'm home, and I have no iv/picc line!  It's the first time since Jan that I've been "line free!"

Updates in general: I stayed in the hospital for 5 days.  It was a long 5 days filled with IVs, blood thinners, antibiotics, lots of consults with specialty doctors, puking, beeping iv pumps, blood draws that caused huge bruises, etc. It was a rough stay.  I am now on blood thinners until 6 weeks postpartum.  My arms are very bruised from blood draws, ivs, and shots of blood thinners.  I have to see a perinatologist & my normal ob every week for the next month. We are going to start a Sub-Q pump with reglan this week.  All my meds got changed while in the hospital.  I am now doing a big dose of Benadryl and will be starting Reglan.  I am also taking a med for reflux.  So far no major changes in how I feel. The peri told me that if I continue to be this sick she will induce at 37 weeks!  That means I have 8 weeks to go!!!!!  WOW!  Deep has started to go into panic mode needing to get ready for Baby BGC!  I'm sure it will hit me in the next few weeks! =)  Next week I will be 30 weeks!!!!!  YAYYYY! =)

OB appt & ultrasound

Monday I had an OB appt & an ultrasound! I was sooooo excited thinking that we may be able to see the gender of the baby giving that I am 17 weeks, and Baby BGC is measuring about a week ahead. The baby was so cute...S/he waved at us. It was precious! The baby still measured about a week ahead. Baby BCG weighed about 8 oz. We listened the the heartbeat. Baby BCG's heart was beating at 146 bpm. The tech was not the nicest. =( She wanted NOTHING to do with giving us a quick peek.

After my ultrasound I saw the Dr. I lost 1.5 lbs and my bp was 110/62. Urine was "better" this week. The Dr. came in my room and chatted with me about what was going on. He said to stick with the regimen we are going with now. He seemed very doubtful that I will feel somewhat normal through this pregnancy. =( I will see the Dr. in 4 weeks.
