Tuesday I went to see my regular OB. Nothing big to report here. I do have a c-section scheduled for 8/13 at 7:30am. I go back and see him every other week for a bit.
Wednesday was with the high risk doctors. They did another ultrasound and Anni is at 2.7 pounds! She's measuring in the 48th percentile, so an average baby. They have speculated that the high blood pressure and the high blood sugar are duking it out and cancelling it out, meaning, one makes a big baby and one makes a small baby. Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland...one side of the mushroom makes you bigger, the other side smaller.
Blood sugars are still up. Still tinkering with my insulin levels. I'm doing all that I can! Blood pressure was good. Weight was up a few pounds, but I'm pretty swollen. I go back in 2 weeks for a checkup, and then starting at 32 weeks we'll begin non-stress tests will probably go to weekly monitoring.
I'm bummed about the baby's room. I tried to pull off some of the paneling on the walls (just a small portion) and it's glued to the walls. The little piece I did remove pulled off the top level of drywall. So, Anni is keeping paneling for awhile. : ( We picked a color tonight, a light pink. Still have no idea what we're doing with the window treatments (shades/blinds/curtains), the furniture arrangement, etc. I'm not sure if I'm nesting, or getting anxious, but I really feel the need big-time to start prepping this room. I have a few packages of diapers and wipes now, some baby soap, etc. The things we'll need right away. I don't want to wash clothes until the room is set up. I know the date is 8/13, but with the blood sugars, I don't know. Honestly, I think anytime after the first of August is possible. So, yes, I have two months to work on her room and prep, but will I feel up to it those two months?
