Preggo ear?

Wonder if it’s like the preggo nose? I totally rock at picking out voice actors right now~

40+

So yay on the baking and all but poo for her not coming sooner.

NST and OB went OK.

Cervix is still not close to ripe. Stuck at 2cm just like a month ago. Head is no where near engaged. She’s still reactive, good HB, good fluid levels, etc.

Me… less than good. Protien is consistently trace now, which isn’t bad in itself, but the increasing trend is worrisome. My legs are pretty squishy too at this point. I can still see my ankle bones so it’s no where near as bad as with the girls. BP is creeping up as well. Resting it will go as low as 132/82, but sitting up the lower number is hanging out in the mid 90’s.

So the game plan is induction, which I’m bummed about. If she doesn’t arrive on her own, she’ll be evicted in about a week. My induction is scheduled to start at 10pm this Sunday. I asked if we could postpone it any longer and my OB said he doesn’t want to risk it. At this point she should be fine whenever they deliver her, so the game is letting nature take it’s course without letting me get too bad, so delivery at 41 weeks at the latest it is.

Now comes all the planning. My parents will be out of town so we need plans B and C in place, which are not as easy.

39w+ and still cooking~

Bleh. Now, I am happy over all but I was hoping for any signs of progress and got nadda. When I started taking a nose dive at 20 weeks, my OB was hoping to get me to 36w before he had to deliver. For some reason even with everything going on, I’m hanging in there very well. Meds are still working and I’m doing what I can manage on the diet and rest side of things. It’s working like a charm. Still only getting trace protein here and there, swelling is low, and BP is staying where it should.

I didn’t even get an internal this time. Just the basic once over, quick look through the latest NSTs and told everything looks good. He doesn’t want to let me go too long, but at the same time wants the kiddo to stay put as long as she would like provided we’re stable. We’ll talk about options at my appointment on the 30th if I’m still pregnant. Something tells me I probably will be.

Think we may have it~

We finally got a short list of names ready a couple weeks ago assuming the new baby still has no penis.  All were pretty meh.  We both liked them, but nothing jumped out as awesome.  We kept mulling them over, adding, subtracting and shuffling them around.  Finally a couple days back I think we’ve found the one.  Time will tell considering we’ve had other front runners we’ve loved and later scratched from the list.  Besides, when we meet her we could pick something all together different too.  Because of that we’re still not telling anyone “If it’s a girls her name will be ____.”  Not like you’ll have to wait more than a few weeks to find out anyway ^_^
