Had two doctors appointments this morning- finally made the move to the "high risk" OB's up at UMD for all of my care.  It took the doctor a long time to call us back because she said it took her a long time to read through our file.  Yikes.  We actually don't have a paper file there- we have a binder.  I guess between my pregnancy with Jamie and ( Read more... )

Yeah, what a great day- two wonderful appointments in one day!

Let's see- haven't gained any weight since my last visit there two weeks ago.  I have some sort of infection- my urine came back funky.  And yes, I'm sure that's what they write in my chart- "funky urine".  They are sending it off for culture.  That might partly explain this ( Read more... )

There was a mix-up with appointment scheduling, so I ended up at UMD first thing this morning.  Let me tell you, trying to get to UMD early on a Monday morning is no easy task.  I hit so much traffic that I ended up having to bring Jamie with me and meeting Frank at the hospital when he got off work.  For the record, Jamie was a really good boy- he ( Read more... )

Frank wasn't able to be with me for this appointment because all the parking garages were closed, so he had to drop me off at the door and circle the block.

I had the same tech today that I had for all my appointments with Jamie, so that was fun.  We had a lot to talk about and she was wondering why I didn't bring Jamie, since she's never seen him ( Read more... )

Had my regular OB appointment this morning.  All is looking good on my end.  BP 118/64.  I've lost another 2 lbs since I was there last, making my total weight loss/gain -5 lbs.  I think it's because I have been sticking (well, sorta) to my fancy new diabetic diet.  My sugars have been fine- the only time it has been above 130 is when I ate a piece ( Read more... )

 Didn't get a chance to post an update on Thursday after my appointment at UMD, so you all will just have to settle for an update two days late ( Read more... )

 I had another lovely OB appointment this morning.  So I gained a few pounds since my last visit- now I'm only -3 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.  BP was good- 122/68, I think.  Baby's HR was 150.  The doctor I saw today was a different one than I have seen for the last two or three visits.  So when I got there, she wanted to know if I had ( Read more... )

No, no doctors appointments this week or anything significant going on.  Just thought I would treat you all to a little mid-week personal update.  I was going to get on here and complain that my tailbone has been hurting me kinda bad lately, but then my mother would just tell me to go take a walk.  Do you all see where I get my sense of sympathy?  ( Read more... )

 Today was a pretty uneventful appointment at the U of MD.  We spent more time in the waiting room than we did getting the sonogram.  The tech we had today is one we've had before- she's quick and to the point, which is just fine with me.

So here's the stats:  baby is about 14 ounces (still very small, but growing!); my fluid is good- it was around ( Read more... )
