I had an appointment with my OB today. She wanted to see my blood sugar numbers and to check my cervix and all of that fun stuff. The good news is nothing has changed in a week. My cervix is the measurement it was, I still have 2 inches to go (effaced) before it would start dilating. That's good news. The babies are still looking great, and are still both head down. I'm going to hope that that's my light at the end of the tunnel and I can deliver these babes naturally and not a via a c-section. I'd really prefer not to go through that. And by naturally I do not mean no drugs....please. I don't understand the need to "feel what it's all about". I feel the need to be numb, thank you very much.
My sugars are still a little off, but she's still attributing that to the other meds I had at the hospital. It's frustrating because I'm unable to work any of the food off, so I can understand why they're still a little high.
The bad news is she still wants me on strict bedrest. She will allow me to walk around for 10 minutes after dinner. Not to the park...around the house. Yipee. I will try to contain my excitement.
So, that's the doctor news. It's like mission control over here trying to coordinate Zach care. Everyone is so darn helpful and we are so, so lucky to have such great friends and family. For example, our friends Kristin and Frank were here when Zach woke up from his nap and they took him to the bounce house place. He'll love that! And it's air conditioned...it's impossible to be outside inthe afternoon right now, it's around 90-98 degrees. We have morning shifts and afternoon shifts that need to be covered and with that includes the basic things, changing dipes, feeding, gathering snacks...all the simple basic things I usually do without thinking.
Poor Jeff (who has turned back into a very helpful husband and father), is so behind on work and has so much on his plate...he's pretty much a single father. Not fun for anyone.
My next appointment is next Tuesday with the specialist, so we'll see how things are going then.
