Well, some interesting news.. I lost another 2 pounds since Friday and my protein levels have dropped off to +1. The nuse said whatever I was eating continue that and nothing else... Which its been ground up hamburger meat with BBQ sauce on wheat bread with a slice of cheese plus three scoops of potato salad. Sometimes I have a bowl of orange shebert. Hmm.. If thats what it takes by all means, I will continue to eat. The 24-hour urinalysis came back with my protein and creatin being over 850 which shouldnt measure any more than 150 at one time! I didnt see the doctor himself today which is FINE BY ME since I have to see him on Friday anyways.. We have earmarked those as our regular checkup appts. I cancelled the next NST for Tuesday. My son has something going on at school that day and I really want to go to it. Its just a field day but it means so much to him when I attend things and with the new baby on the way, I figured this is my way of spending as much time with him as possible. He told me he understood if I couldnt get out of the appt but I did. I was able to move the NST to that Friday along with the Ultrasound and regular checkup appt. David will be with me forever and a day.. Better make sure he has snack food with him because he will get hungry for sure. Overall we are doing good. I told the nurse I thought Talon would be here in the next three weeks if those creatin/protein levels didnt go down. She said she thought the same thing.. this before we found out what the levels were for the day. She said shed bet the levels were three plus and when it was one plus, even she was shocked!
I AM HAPPY!

Happy Mother's Day
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL
MOTHERS AND MOTHERS-TO-BE
This morning I was treated to a wake-up shower of rose petals on my bed by my son and husband.. although it was clearly my son's idea. (An idea that when asked what I wanted... jokingly said that was what I wanted to wake up to.) My son, who hardly EVER pays attention to me when I say something... actually recalled this.. WHY this one time? Perhaps because of baby Talon... don't know! Anyhow, he also paid attention that all I wanted for breakfast was a bowl of cereal on my green tray with roses and a card by him. So as soon as he woke up, he tiptoed into the kitchen and got my breakfast in bed ready. It was so sweet. He comes in here singing.. Happy Mother's Day to you.. all around the room! because you are the best mommy in the world was said at the end. Oh good Lord! LOL. In my son's card, he actually gave me one of his $1 bills. Why? He said because I deserved it. hehe.. Shortly thereafter my husband handed me his card and it was very sweet too. I told them that so far this was the best Mother's Day in the world with next year being far better.. David goes because Talon will be here and I said exactly.. then our family will be complete and we will be all together. My husband goes but our family is complete.... David goes but Talon isnt here yet.. and I said.. it will be when Talon is in my arms for me to hold. It may be complete at the moment, but we are still baking one in the process. Yep, this is a wonderful treat to wake up to! Both my men treatin' me like a queen... you couldn't ask for anything better.
HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!!!!!!

feeling restful and restless... Ahh.. what can I say? I slept from 4:30 yesterday afternoon until 8:30 when i took my meds.. back to sleep a few minutes later, up at midnight when the hubby came home.. back to sleep by 1 and up again at 7:30 this morning.. I guess my body was telling me I NEEDED the rest.. I havent done that kind of sleep in a LONG time... even my hubby agreed I must have needed it. I didnt even eat "real" supper last night. In fact, at midnight, I just got a bowl of jello and ate that. When I told the dr I hardly ate anymore not because I wanted to but because I didnt feel the need to, he said so long as I ate the right kind of foods and Talon was growing, he wasnt going to be alarmed. In fact, it was like this in the beginning of my pregnancy too. Some days I felt like eating others, not so much. In fact, if I recall... all I had was a can of spaghetti and meatballs, a two bowls of jello and a small bowl of orange sherbert all day yesterday. I mostly had water to drink as well. Once I went to sleep at 4:30, from then on.... I never had the desire to eat all night even while I was sleeping. In fact, sometimes if I crave food and Im hungry while I am sleeping.. I can feel my tummy rumble and it begins to hurt... not last night. I guess my body is making up for my being an idiot LAST weekend. Even my dr agreed that I overdid it but as long as Talon was growing and he was healthy, it wasnt going to be alarmed just yet.
I got two of the 4 ultrasound pics up from yesterday.. one of which is just for me.. You cant seem much but its an indication to me that he was making breathing motions at 30 weeks.. I told the tech I wanted just so I had it for record when it was.. She agreed.. So we got that good!
I plan on making an album of all these posts I make for Baby Talon sometime after he is born. I think it would be a wonderful thing for him to see when he gets older. Even as I sit here and type, he is just kicking away letting me know he is safe inside, tucked away until that precious day when he makes his entrance into the world. I guess he is probably telling me.. he is a little hungry too. I guess I can make an omelet or something for us to eat. David wanted jello for breakfast so he got that. He never waits for me to get up and get him something anymore. Just cant stand it.. hmmmm on second thought. Pancakes sound good too! WOW! I must be getting hungry. Food is on its way Talon Hunter....
Check out the pics when ya get the chance.. take care all!

Mixture of good and bad news.. more good than bad.. I did it! I dont know how in the world I did it but I did. My weight dropped by 2 pounds after gaining three in 5 days. I dropped 2 in 3 days... My dr asked me what I was eating and I told him.. he was rather impressed. I told him I dont eat late at night and I dont eat very early in the morning and most of the time I have a SNACK in between lunch and dinner around 2 or 3 p.m. I am happy.... thats my first bit of good news.
Secondly.. Talon did exactly what the ultrasound tech was looking for.. She wanted to see if he was capable of making breathing movements.. She said oh look hes doing it! We caught him doing it! YEAH! I had felt him hiccup quite often so I knew he was trying to making breathing motions.. in fact, he scored an 8 out of 8 this time! YIPPPEEE!!!!
Third..... this time they found ONLY a trace of sugar in my urine which was good after it was up +2 on Tuesday. I knew I had screwed up but I was fixing the issue rather than having it blow up more in my face..
Fourth... My BP measured at 122/84, still a good sign the Plendil is kicking butt. I feel confidant more than ever that we can atleast make it to 32 weeks, which will put me in my 8th month. Yes, I am very happy that I can make it that far.
THE BAD PART OF THE WHOLE THING.... My urine protein increased to +3 up from +2 on Tuesday. I dont know WHY with all the changes I have made it continues to increase but Dr. Jerkins said.. it may be just my body that does that... He said the 24-urinalysis will show if there is more to be concerned about... He doesnt seem to think so... he said the Plendil is doing the job it needs to be and thats what he is worried about.
We go again for the NST next Tuesday at 10 a.m. and another BPP next Friday.. which will mark my 31st week. Then that next week.. Tuesday another NST and then on the 26th David, who will be out of school, will accompany me to a FULL ULTRASOUND in which I will get to find out for SURE how much Talon weighs up to this point. My dr seems to think that even if I lose, he is gaining. We have new pics of him from today's scan which I will hopefully scan into the computer later.. Today, Talon was being cooperative and we actually got a pretty good facial picture.
Dr. Jerkins said my panicking on Tuesday was the result of the other dr. freaking me out. He said that dr tends to go a LITTLE overboard on the drama. He said as far as he was concerned Talon is in no danger and unless things go southward fast.. we will see Talon in July as scheduled... That makes me feel MUCH BETTER....
Overall, pretty good appt I would say..
