Had a pretty amazing little appointment today with the maternal perinatal ob(high risk doc). I hit the fabulous 29lbs gained by their scale, but they admit they got a new scale and it seems to be weighing everyone heavy. At this point, I honestly don't care about the number on the scale, I'm just ready for her to get here.

Tatum is perfect, she's growing, thriving, over 5lbs at this point, her lung/pulmonary function testing was normal today, her echo was spot on normal, and she has a full head of baby hairs ! ! ! Dr. B even said if I were to deliver today, she would perfect. I start the prednisone therapy tomorrow, & will have platelets rechecked in 2 weeks on the 17th. As long as my platelets hit 85K, I'll be able to have an epidural. If my platelets do not respond, then they are going to evaluate giving me a spinal block with a very light amount of anesthesia. If this is not an option, general anesthesia for the csection is the only option for delivery. Overall, we are absolutely fabulous ! ! ! Delivery is November 1st.

I am on restricted activity, and by their defintion, I am supposed to just sit around for the next 25 days until she gets here. Waking induces some pretty strong Braxton Hicks type contractions, and I'm definitely not allowed to do much of anything for the next few weeks that could possibly induce full on labor.
