24 weeks
Baby News: My c-section has been officially scheduled for May 17, provided we can keep all complications at bay. So mark your calendars - ha!
How far along? 24 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yep. And some are starting to not cover my belly. Sigh, the joys of having a long torso while pregnant.
Sleep: Lots lots better. Not sure what the insomnia was all about but I am glad it is gone.
Best moment this week: Swelling went away!!!!!
Movement: Still very active.
Gender: She's a girl!
Labor Signs: No way!
What I miss: Nothing really this week.
What I am looking forward to: Picking a name. We need to get on this.
Weekly Wisdom: Sometimes, it is best not to rush to the doctor when your kid is sick, no matter how hard it is!
Milestones: In the most technical sense of the word, I believe we are now considered viable.
Complications Update: So, the doctor upped my prescription again at my last appointment. It took me a few days to remember to take it properly, but then I started feeling incredibly dizzy. If I stood up, I would nearly pass out, yet when I took my bp it was normal. After a few days of this and one really bad day I called them and they are lowering the dose. At my appt. yesterday it was only 110/70, which is really low for me, even on the lower dose. Part of me wants to lower it again for myself, but I don't have confidence to do this without the doctor's oversight. I hate all of this playing with meds - my baby's life is dependent on getting this right! Waiting for another high-risk scan soon and another test this week to make sure my liver/kidneys are working properly.
