A little late on updates but I have a good excuse!

Hi!  It's been a crazy last week or so! 

I'm 34 weeks!  woohoo!!  Only 6 weeks to go according to all the books and everything but it feels like Baby Boy is doing everything he can to try to come early!  Like scaring the crap out of his parents and his family..oh he really is my child..everything is high drama! 

I had an appointment in Friday to check on the umbilical flow and it appeared that everything was not only what it was before when he was worried but now worse.  So, I was promptly taken over to Labor and Delivery and hooked up to a nonstress test again.  I passed again with flying colors which according to my doctor didn't quite make sense so he was worried that something was happening in all the time that I wasn't hooked up to a machine so he admitted me to hospital and I was started on steriods for his lungs and I was told that I'd most likely be delivering in about 48 hours.  Thank heavens again that I packed my hospital bag. 

Baby Boy was doing great on his monitor all night!

So, with my husband on call and out on calls, my in laws all away for the weekend, I was admitted to a hospital that's an hour away from my hometown.  My mom stayed with me till about 10 pm Friday night when Vinny was able to get there.  My room was pretty sweet if I do say so myself, it was huge with a big bed in the corner for Vinny to sleep in. The hospital I stayed in doesn't have set times for meals or anything, you just order room service off of their huge menu and it's brought up to you and I have to say, the food I had was pretty yummy! 

What I thought was possibly my last belly pic, 34weeks exactly

I stayed on the monitor all night and Baby Boy did great, never even a hint of decreased heart rate or movement.  My doctor came in the next day and repeated the scan and the flow was back to better and not only better but normal which confused him so he traced the entire length of my umblical cord(at least where he could)and saw that it was normal in some areas but there were areas that it showed reverse flow and some places that it showed absent flow.  His best guess was that the umbilical cord is getting pinched under an arm or around something and when Baby Boy moves or flexes, it gets pinched more and cuts off the flow(at least this is how I understood it).  So, since he did great all night.  NO baby delivery for us this weekend!  I just needed to get my second shot of steriods for his lungs(in case something would come up and I would need to delivery him, his lungs would be all set!) and I could go home! 

Not this time!  I get to go home!!

So, I'm 34 weeks and at least for another week, Baby Boy is still safe and sound inside!

I'm doing the survey a little different now because alot of those questions don't really apply anymore, ya know!

Total Weight Gain: 10lbs even right now!  I've been told to keep on packing on the pounds! 

Weight of Baby:  When I was 32w2d, Baby Boy was 3lb4oz(which is very small), when I was checked on Friday(33w6d), he was 3lb12oz so he's gaining.  Our Goal is 5lbs because normally at 5lbs, they can come home if they're born!  Grow Baby Grow!

Any Signs of Labor:  Nope, not a one.  When they hook ya up for an NST, you also get hooked up a monitor for contractions and no contractions have showed up! 
Breathing:  Baby Boy was breathing beautiful on his biophysical profile on Friday so that's a great great sign and he got his two shots of steriods so his lung function should be wonderful when he's actually born! 
Stretch Marks:  None on the stomach yet. 
Swelling: Nope.  But I have been really realy careful about making sure I'm getting at least 2 1/2 liters of water a day so that might be helping too! 
Nursery done yet:  HAHAHA!!  WE have a crib all set up.  And the changing table gets delivered tomorrow..according to Amazon, that is! And we're going out today and grab a couple things but that's realy it so far..I know, I know, I need to get cracking!
