Thursday, July 30th

I had an appointment today with Dr. Hansen-Linder. She was super nice! We checked the usual--weight, blood pressure, cervix --all checked out just fine.



Now we are focusing on another issue --low amniotic fluid. I am on the low side of average (but still average) so this is something they will be checking every week now. If the fluid decreases to a certain level, then they will be taking the baby out via c-section a little bit earlier than planned. When this issue came up last week, they told me to drink more water and rest. Rick thought that was really funny since I drink so much water already. He says I drink more water than anybody he knows!



So I drank more water over the last week and my result was that the fluid increased .8 --from 10.0 to 10.8. That's good! So we'll shoot to keep that number rising.



Tomorrow I start week 34.... five weeks to go until c-section on Sept 4th. The baby is coming out in week 39.



Next appointment is Thursday, August 6th @ 10:40am. My Mom from MN will come to the appt with me. :-)
