Non stress tests
They have been going well so far. I go twice a week and sit for about an hour and get monitored. Everything seems to be going well so far. I have an u/s on Tues. just to make sure everything is still on track. This weekend I'm going to start cleaning bottles, packing my back, and getting the pump ready. I also need to study for a test in my computer lit. class. Nothing in there seems to be too stressful. Plus, we need to find another chair for the kitchen. Sawyer broke the back of it and it won't stay wood glued together. That's our projects for this weekend.

27 Week Dr. Appt.
My appt. went ok. I don't know too much more than I new before which is aggrivating (sp). My placenta did move but instead of the two lobes staying together they are in two different areas. One went anterior and one posterior. There is supposedly blood vessels connecting the two and they aren't sure where they are at. If they go underneath (by the cervix) or above or what. So, I have an appt. with a perinatologist on March 10 for another u/s to see where those are at and get his opinion on c-section/no c-section. If I don't they will still induce early and I'd be highly monitored and they could try and control where the placenta "ruptures" at. If they don't the dr. said Conner could bleed to death. Ok, that makes me a little nervous. But, if the peri. says stick with the c-section we will. They set me up for an amnio on April 27 and a c-section early April 29 (38wks gestation). After thinking about it, I think I'll see what the peri. says but still go with the c-section. I would feel better that way. If need be he can get Conner out faster and deal with the bleeders faster too. Instead of having an "oh, sh**" moment and having to wait for an emergance C-section, kwim? I'm sure the dr. will be ok with it.
The u/s went well. The u/s tech, whom I love, said that the reason I'm probably not feeling him too well is that he doesn't make to many grand motions, he just wiggles a bit a lot. I'll still be montioring his movements though, she just thought it would make me feel a little better. My bp was 110/68 which they said was good and I've gained 13lbs. so far. Oh, he weighed in at 2lbs. 9oz. today. Hopefully he doesn't get too huge by April. I want a baby not a toddler again. But, I'd still be ok with it as long as he's healthy. I think that's it. I go back again Friday for another non stress test. Nothing to big though.

Nothing new
There is nothing new here. We are going to start the nursery soon. I start my two a week non stress tests on the 17th. There are days I'm more uncomfortable, tired and cranky than others. But, that's what to expect at 26wks. I think. Only 10wks left and we'll be on Conner watch. I'll have more info. at my next appt on the 17th on what and how it's going to happen.
