After meeting with our doctor on Friday we were able to establish a few things:
1) He's still concerned but not enough so to take the baby prior to 37 Weeks
2) The baby is still much smaller than it should be
3) He believes that they are responsible for my current rise in blood pressure and anxiety (say it isn't so...)
Friday's appointment consisted of an ultrasound in which we again scored 8/8 - however baby is still breech and at this point will probably stay that way. We're ok with a c-section at this point. We met with our doctor to discuss the ultrasound and he determined that we did not need a NST (non-stress test) based on the ultrasound from Monday and Friday and based on our OB Emergency Room visit Sunday. I also had blood drawn again (i've lost count of how many times we've done this one) and will have to do a 24 hr urinalysis to bring back to my Monday appointment. On Wednesday we will have another appointment with the Doctor to determine the actual date of delivery. He's thrown out three days that he is currently considering: Friday August 29th, Tuesday September 2nd, or Wednesday September 3rd. So there we have it - We're having a Labor Day (approx.) Baby. I kind of think it would be funny to have the baby on Wednesday Sept 3rd since I was born on Wednesday Sept 1st 32 years ago.
This weekend we're going to do one last check to make sure we are as ready as can be.
