30 weeks appointment.

Jordan is measuring 28-29 weeks, 22nd percentile. He weighs about 2 pounds 13 ounces. I think he is gonna be a small baby. He is head down, he had his feet on his head so he couldnt get good pics. My blood pressure was a little high, 118/90 and I had trace protein in my urine so I have to do a 24 hour urine collection.

Update.

Thought I should update since I haven't in a few weeks. I am 29 weeks 4 days today. Jordan is still doing great, as active as ever. He gets hiccups alot. I think he is still transverse/breech because the kicks are mostly still low. I have another ultrasound on April 12th I think. And around 34 weeks I will have one to check on his heart again. I've gained 31 pounds total so far. Everyone keeps saying they think he is going to be a big baby, but I think he will be smaller (less than 7 1/2 pounds). He could be here within 7 weeks 3 days-10 weeks 3 days, which really isnt that long. Not much else to update on.

 

Fetal echo.

I had a fetal echo ultrasound on Wednesday. The specialist said Jordan has a 2mm hole in his heart. He said 2mm is small-medium, so it should close on its own before or shortly after birth, so he shouldn't need surgery to fix it. Other than that he is doing great. He kicks and moves all the time now, he is still breech but has alot of time to turn still. (: I am 26 weeks 3 days today and have gained a total of 31 pounds so far. :/

 

24 week checkup.

I had another prenatal appointment today. Only gained .4 pound from last time 2 weeks ago, that makes 24 total so far. Seems like alot compared to Kaylee. I had gained like 10 with her at this point. I just hope he isnt too big. His heartbeat was 143 today, I think he was sleeping. The doctor adjusted my night time insulin a bit. I have another appointment in a week to see if my blood sugars are doing better then. Its hard to believe he will be here in 13-16 weeks. Going by so fast now!

Update.

I went to the hospital Tuesday night because I was sick all day and couldn't keep anything down. They took me to L&D and gave me IV fluids because I was dehydrated and having contractions. I was there for about 3 hours, the contractions stopped and I stopped puking after they gave me some zofran so they sent me home. Not much else going on. My next appointment is on the 1st of March. And the ultrasound to check his heart is March 14th.

Heart echo/Ultrasound.

We had an ultrasound/echo today, so they could get a better look at his heart. They are sending us to a specialist in 4 weeks so they can get a better look at his heart because the DR. said she thinks it looks like he has a hole in his heart. He was moving ALOT during the ultrasound, so Im hoping they just didnt get a good enough look at the heart. He was measuring perfect and now weighs 1 pound 2 ounces. (: I've gained 23 pounds so far. :/ I hope I dont gain more than 40 total.

21 weeks tomorrow.

My next appointment isnt until February 16th, it's a growth ultrasound and they are checking his heart also since they couldnt see it well at the anatomy scan. He kicks alot, mainly in the morning. My back has been hurting alot lately, I think he pushes against it. We're going baby shopping this weekend, Im excited. (:
