Well, things went well at the dr. Apparently Caleb is doing just fine, it was so strange because I could see him move but I couldn’t feel it. I dont think the technician believed me, but apparently my placenta is in a different place and it is cushioning his movements so I was thinking he wasnt moving but I could see him moving plain as day. It was the strangest thing cause he was flailing away with arms and legs and yet I couldnt even feel a nudge! But point is he is doing great! So no need to worry about him coming this weekend, unless of course he decides he wants to but I doubt it cause he looked awful comfy in there!
Dean was so excited because he hasnt been in a while with me and he was so amazed at seeing all the movements, especially him sucking and wiggling his fingers. He was so cute, he was such a proud daddy! Only bad thing we found out is that the baby is already 6 lbs, 5 ounces which is pretty large for only 34 weeks. But if he did decide to come early at least he’d be able to hold his own. He was even practicing his breathing again, and that is a great sign that he is doing well.
So I guess I can take my hospital bag out of the car until next week! I didnt realize that if at any of the ultrasounds he isnt moving enough that they would schedule a stress test and pending the results of that they may induce me. So I guess it was good I didnt know that but now that I do I may just keep my bag in the car in case they decide he needs to come early.
So I have decided to keep tomorrow as my day off even though all of my appointments are cancelled now because I saw both my ob and the specialist today. I had to use paid time off for today so if I do work tomorrow I would end up with more than 40 hours so I mine as well keep my day off since we cant get overtime. I called work to let them know what was going on and Karen said they were mad at me because they thought I forgot to call but I told her I just got done and called her as soon as I knew something and she was okay with that, but she said they have been talking about me and waiting for me to call with news! It’s nice to know they cared, but I feel bad because she said they are very busy, but oh well……it’s nice to know I am worth something at work, and it wont kill them to have to work as hard as I do all the time.
