We've had a few scares with this pregnancy when a some questionable things were found on our scans, but really things continue to progress well and I am trying to keep my anxiety level down to a minimum. I know we're in the home stretch but I have to admit that I will not have real peace until we can deliver and take home a precious baby...God willing. It is really comforting to feel him move and kick now and that provides daily reassurance. But for someone who has had a lot of losses, I find my thoughts bombarded by things like, "Is he moving enough? Has movement slowed down? Could the cord be around his neck? Is the placenta still functioning correctly? What did that sharp pain mean? Am I having too many Braxton Hicks contractions? Is my cervix holding out?" The questions go on and on.
But right now baby boy continues to measure ahead and is even in the 90th percentile (we're all hoping he slows down a bit!). To think that doctors were concerned about IUGR (intra uterine growth restriction) when a 2 vessel cord was discovered at week 18 seems just funny now when they say he's getting too big. All I can say is that my prayers for his cord to work and get him proper nutrition seems to have been answered in the affirmative. :) One of the techs told me last week that she has seen many, many 2 vessel cords in her years of practice and that she can count on one hand the times it actually affected a baby's growth. Wish I'd heard that weeks ago!
Here's the latest profile shot...the cord is above his mouth, but I think it looks like he's smoking a pipe! ;)
So now waiting and being patient is the hardest thing. I'm uncomfortable, yes, but mostly I'm anxious to get this baby out into the world where all the perils we seem to face in pregnancy are over. I don't want him to come too early to be sure, but oh my...I hope he comes not one day later than he needs to. :)
31 1/2 weeks today....hopefully not more than 8 or so weeks to go. Stay healthy baby boy, and come as soon as you're ready!

Congrats on getting to the 3rd trimester. Have found your blog very helpful. I was just debating using neupogen for HLA matches and have decided I may skip it. We have one frozen embryo left and if it doesn't work I'm heading to California. Curious if you stayed on neupogen for your DE cycle? Looking forward to seeing your delivery post! Marie
ReplyDeleteI am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
