That's right. Wahoo! 3 weeks down, only 8 more to go! Honestly, the time is going by relatively quickly. I think if I can make it past 28 weeks, I'll sleep a little better. The longer the better, but to me, that feels like the soonest she could safely come.
I had another ultrasound today with a specialist. I had one 3 weeks ago. They were just charting and making sure Baby Girl is growing. 3 weeks ago, she was measuring just over a pound heavy. Today she is almost 2 pounds. She's doubled her weight, which is fantastic. Everything looks great. She's right on track. They measured my amniotic fluid again today. It's at 3.8. A little down from last week's 4.2, but it all seems to be staying about the same. The Doc even pointed out that she could see fluid in Baby Girl's stomach and bladder, so that fluid should count a little bit for my AF levels.
They weighed me again today, and I'm down 2 pounds from last week. I asked the specialist about it, and she said that Baby shouldn't contribute too much to weight gain this early in pregnancy. She said it sounds like the weight loss is probably attributed to muscle loss. (sad, but expected). She asked what physical activities I've been doing. My response: going to the bathroom and taking a shower. That's it. My regular Doc told me to stay in bed. So they are going to send a physical therapist my way to see if they can work on my dying muscles.
Overall, promising news. Things look good. Things just need to STAY good. The scary thing is that things could change so quickly. That's why I am being monitored in the hospital. But another week down and things are stable today! What a good day!
