update

Well, Hubby and I got to see baby girl K again today, and a lot of her. We had another ultrasound as they looked her over for growth. It was determined today that she is in the 20% percentile for size, currently. We have to go back in 3 weeks to get another ultrasound to make sure she is growing as she should. But, if she stays how she is now, she will just be a small baby. Okay by me!

And the doctor determined that I am still bleeding because my cervix just isn’t a happy camper so to speak. He is hitting me with a ton of antibiotics for the next 14 days. He told me that I don’t have to be on complete bed rest, but the easier I take it, the less I bleed. And really, who likes to bleed?

Hubby is leaving early Friday morning for Las Vegas, they are taking an RV. My mother has graciously agreed to move in to take care of me while he is gone. She came up tonight and helped Hubby get the guest room somewhat livable for herself. It was buried under all the stuff for the baby’s room. We moved everything in there while we paint. And since we painted the closet also, the closet is empty in the baby’s room as well. The paint is dry in there now, but the door is sealed with plastic, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Susan and Zak and their paint gun.

After today I feel a little bit better about the bleeding. Of course I knew what it was from the first trip to the hospital 4 weeks ago. But, I feel better knowing I don’t have to be on complete bed rest. And that there really isn’t anything they can do to stop the bleeding, and that the bleeding is no indication of problems with the baby. My new worry is the baby growing appropriately, but I am not overly worried about that either. I know I feel bigger and bigger, so I can only assume she is causing it. And it seems like a good excuse to just continue eating, since I am hungry all the time!
