With the problems Courtney has had lately with the burnt arm, kidney infection and contractions, the OB appointment went surprisingly well!!! She has to take her antibiotic for the kidney infection twice a day vs. once as a preventive med (She has been on one pill a day since the 1st trimester). Courtney gained one more pound this week....totaling 24 lbs. Blood pressure was 100/60, so the blood pressure meds are still working! The baby's heartbeat is good and strong and the best news is that the cervix is long and closed (Woot!). In fact his words were, "She isn't coming anytime soon"......What a relief!!!
Nevaeh was quiet yesterday.....so much that Courtney got out the heartbeat doppler to make sure she was OK. With an anterior placenta, Courtney doesn't always feel the little movements and it worried her! She was going to tell her doctor about this, but just before the appointment, Nevaeh "woke up" and decided to make her presence known. This brought a smile to our faces!
The OB schedule at the hospital is not out yet, so an exact induction date of 3/17/10 is still only a 60% chance, but he did tell Courtney to plan sometime around St. Patty's Day. My guess is it will be scheduled sometime that week.
The 2D- growth scan ultrasound has been scheduled for next week on 2/9/10 at 2:30 with a weekly OB appointment at 3:00. I can't wait to see how much she has grown!
