Update on Us

in Pregnant after a Loss

I planned on posting an update earlier in the week, but the hospital internet has not been working.  Thankfully it's back up and running before the weekend.  I'd go crazy because there is NOTHING on tv on the weekends.

Anyway, I had my last growth ultrasound today.  There still isn't any measurable amniotic fluid.  Kendall had a full bladder, which means she's swallowing whatever little is left.  I must leak it as fast as she pees it out.  She was doing her breathing exercises which is always wonderful to see.  Her poor face is smashed up against the placenta, I hope she doesn't come out with a pig nose. 

The ultrasound tech was really stingy with her measurments and said she was about 4lbs 12oz.  I'm thinking she's already over 5lbs though.  She wouldn't go to the edge of her femur, belly, or head when measuring.

I was just taken off the monitor and my nurse was telling me how proud she is of Kendall and I.  I guess her monitoring strip was one the best she's ever seen.  She was bragging about it to all the other nurses and then telling them that I have no amniotic fluid, they are all shocked.  She said her strips look like a normal full term baby, which is amazing for a 33 weeker.

I had a wheelchair pass today and went to the gift shop for some black friday shopping.  Everything was 25% off.  I bought Kendall a cute little green preemie hat she can wear when she's born.  I also went up to the well baby nursery to see the healthy babies.  There was one there that was 5lbs 5oz and was full term.  I'm hoping Kendall will be the same size as her at 34 weeks.

Only 5 days to go until we get to meet her.  This is my last weekend staying at the hospital....THANK GOD!!

    Hey<i was just getting ready to post to you. I wanted to let you know what a trouper I think you are. You have had so much on your plate and your attitude is incredibly positive. It is an inspiration to me. (been dealing with vasa previa, bedrest, etc) I have such good feelings about Kendall's birth. I am glad it is close for you. I know it will be a little nervewracking until she is safe in your arms. But just think about all the wonderful things you have done for her and how well she is doing. Go baby, go!!!  I hope you are as comfortable as you can be at the hospital. And know I will be thinking about you!

    So great to hear from you ... I am always thinking of you and sending lots of prayers your way.   Your story is so amazing and your baby girl is going to be the most wonderful miracle.   I'm so excited for you that you will be meeting her soon.   She is such a little fighter and I'm sure she will prove to be a very, very special little girl as she grows up.   Big hugs to you, and I will send extra prayers on Monday - can't wait to hear all about it!

    I'm so glad things are going well.  I can't wait to "meet" Kendall, it sounds like she's getting ready to be born herself.  You'll be in my thoughts this weekend and on Monday.
