Appointment today went great. :-) The cervix is hangin TOUGH. No change again from last week. Dr. Gourley said all these precautions that we have taken probably will be irrelevant but better safe than sorry! He feels pretty good about me making it to the c-section date now.
C-section is scheduled!! It's going to be Friday, September 4th (the Friday before Labor Day) at either 7:30am or 9:30am. Dr. Gourley is submitting the paperwork today. I'll find out the time later.
My iron was checked again today and it went up one point. My reading three weeks ago was 29. I went on SLOW FE iron tablets the very next day. They want the iron level to be above 31. At least I am moving in the right direction. Need to uptick a little bit more though. EAT LIVER --yuck. Who eats liver anyway?? Did you know raisins are high in iron? Also eggs. Interesting.
No weight gain again. I lost 1 lb five weeks ago. Since then, I have gained nothing. I was inquiring about that today since its concerning me. The doctor says its due to my colitis flare. I started steroids 7 days ago and am feeling 50% better (thank you God!). So hopefully when I get the colitis in check, I'll start seeing my weight increase a little bit. The good news is that the baby is growing and is taking all the nutrients it needs from me even though I am not gaining any weight. That's what Dr. Gourley told me today. My belly tape measurement is right on track.
Next appointment is THURSDAY, JULY 23rd @ 11am. We will be doing an ultrasound this day so I'll get some new pictures!
Hang in there with the LIVER....YUCK!!!! Your lookin Good-n-Cookin slow. Sept 4th what a Greay Day!
