Re: Pregnant (& TTC) after a Preemie Check in 12/20/12
Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing well!
My two appointments this week went ok. BP is still climbing but not high enough to send me back to L&D. I'll be 33 weeks on Friday, and I'm very grateful to be hitting that milestone.
QOTW: Looking forward to DS1 unwrapping his presents on Christmas morning! This is the first year that he will really get it
DS1: Quinn - 10.22.10 and DS2: Cole - 01.18.13
Here's my update:
DD2 is now 9 months old and on Monday we had her appointment. She is up to 20lbs and 28 1/2 inches long (75% for actual age). She has been crawling for about a month and pulling herself up for a few weeks too. She just started to really get the whole finger foods and pretty much doesn't want anything to do with purees anymore (which is fine!). I feel so blessed that we have come so far since our time in the NICU. I never thought my 5lb 5oz baby would be 20lbs at 9 months old. A very proud mama here.
QOTW: DD#1 is really just understand the whole meaning of Christmas. She's really excited about Santa too. With DD#2 she is just excited when I move the sofa's away from the Christmas tree and she start exploring.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. Stay Safe!
33 Weeks is a huge milestone. Keep on cooking that LO. It seems that bedrest is really helping too. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ladies,
I just got off the phone with my OB and wanted to share some good news with people. I had been having constant heavy bleeding since thanksgiving. I'm only 12 weeks and have already had 3 ultrasounds and biweekly apts to make sure nothing was going on. My OB just called to tell me that she was pretty confident since I haven't had any bleeding or spotting this week, my ultrasound from yesterday was great and my blood work this week came back good (no infections) that she was confident in saying everything was good and I didn't need to come back until my 16 week apt for my first 17 P shot and cervical length check.
I am most looking forward to spending a relaxing Christmas at home and not going to the doctors office for a while.
Lily born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 4 oz.
Max born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 2 oz.
Glenn born at 31 wks: 3 lbs 9 oz.
My twin's birth story
Congrats, Cara! Love his name and I hope you get to take him home soon!
Praying for a good appointment. Definitely keep us posted.
Congratulations Cara! Welcome to the world Lucas! I hope the jaundice clears up and your little guy is home with you now.
Wonderful news!
Aw this made me cry. What a beautiful present.
Yep! All 4 of us are home now, in time for Christmas. It was the best one yet!
