27 week Doc. update Doc. appt Friday went great. I had to do the Glucose screening and I tell you I'll never get used to the nastiness of that drink! Last time I failed the initial test and had to go back for the 4 hour REAL test which of course I passed. I'm praying I pass this time because I really can't stand the thought of having to take the LONG test. REALLY... Whine whine whine!
Interesting visit... Baby Itles looked beautiful as usual. We got a great shot of the little nose and mouth. My friends think it looked like a boy nose and mouth!?! It measured 27w 3d
and the HB was 162. As I was lying on my back for the sonogram the doctor asked me to roll to my left because she said the baby didn't like it flat on my back. She explained the babies weight layed on some nerve that cuts the blood supply off to the baby. I'd read this but to actually see it happen in just a short 5 min. sono was a little stange. It's made me a little paranoid about how I sleep at night. She also did an internal sonogram to check my "low placenta. She said it's not blocking my cervix but it's still low and she'll want to check it again at 34 weeks and then again when I near full term. I'm not too worried about it because I trust my doctor but I sure hope it moves up more so I don't have to have a csection after 2 vaginal births. I go back in 3 weeks and then every 2 weeks! That is CRAZY... just 3 more monthes... CRAZY!! I'm getting very sensitive. I'm overly nostagilic about my kidds lately. Niko will be 12 on Wed. and I feel guilty that were not as close as we used to be. I know that it''s a normal for this age to spread their wings and fly but it's still hard. And Lucca... I just want to cry thinking how fast she's growing up. I was telling Mario this evening I fight the urge to wish any day away. Some days I'm so tired and work was hell and Lucca's bratty and I just think I can't wait until this day is over and I can go to bed. BUT then I remind myself that's just another day of their childhood that will be GONE forever! I try to cherish every part of them even when their driving me crazy. I worry about my patience level adding another baby to the mix and I just pray that God gives me an ABUNDANCE of patience so I can continue to enjoy my kids and not survive them. I also pray for GRACE that I don't swim in mommy guilt because that's not good for any of us. I'm just so grateful to be given another spirit to bring into this world. I hope I have the ability to balance each of those lovely kids and my amazing husband. Sensitive right????
