Yesterday, I had my 31 week appointment with my midwife. Everything is going well with Miss Clara. Blood pressure was fine. I had lost a few pounds a couple appointments ago, and maybe only gained about a pound back....still doing great with the weight. My belly was measuring about 33 weeks, but she is not worried. She said that with every baby I have, they tend to leave a little behind. Thanks kids!! I did pass my 3 hour glucose test, but I'm still probably borderline diabetic. So we are prepared to have a larger baby. Honestly, I will be surprised if she is much bigger than her two youngest brothers. Earlier in the pregnancy, she mentioned that she would send me for fetal assessments towards the later half of my pregnancy. So I was not surprised when she brought up that I would be starting that next week. I was surprised when she told me I were to go for NSTs (non-stress test) twice a week until Clara was here. Right away, I had no clue how I would manage. Kids can not come in the room for these tests. I don't have a babysitter and David can't stay awake for anything to watch the kids. I have so much coming up....speech therapy (Evan), more OB appointments, field trips, parent/teacher conferences, and now this?!?! Of course I will make it happen. It's just daunting.
I just can not wait to have my little girl safe in my arms. Just two months (maybe less) to go!
