Bumpdate

Hello there fellow blogger friendlies,

Thought I would update you all on my bump. I'm rather round these days, I still haven't gotten the Linea nigra :( <--sad face. But my belly button has flattened out and depending on how Jr's laying it sometimes pops out. Other then being uber tired AGAIN and having to roll off the sofa in order to get up, I'm still getting around normally. I only waddle sometimes and when I do I make sure I make quacking noises (people at work love this I'm sure).

I had a pretty eventful week, Thursday I had a Dr. appt and Ultrasound (More on that in a minute) Thursday night my Mother showed up to surprise me, I took my sister-in-law to the airport to pick-up her husband's brother but my mom was there instead. It was a awesome surprise, people can't usually seem to keep a secret from me so I was genuinely excited. Friday was my Birthday, people actually remembered this year (I got money and a cake :) <--- happy face). Then Saturday I had a baby shower, The turnout was not nearly what I was hoping for but I enjoyed it and we did get a lot of useful stuff. (Plus some honey to rub on my nipples, I have weird freaking friends!) The Nursery is put together and stocked with enough stuff that it could house/care for a live infant now, so that's a relief.

As you know (If you actually read this rambling) Jr has a two vessel umbilical cord so I have to have a Ultrasound once a month to monitor his growth and make sure he's on track. Last week at my ultrasound they noticed his fluid is low, it is at a 8.3 which is the lowest it can be at and still be considered normal. I go for another ultrasound tomorrow to recheck the fluid level, if it has dropped any lower they are going to put me on bed rest. If it gets to low they will put me on hospital bed rest. Also, he is still bottom down. The doctor thinks he won't be able to turn on his own with the fluid so low and based on how far down he already is. If he doesn't pull a flip my 37wks (April 2) they are going to put me in the hospital and try to turn him manually. I'm assured I will be drugged for this, but still O-to the-UCH. If they are unsuccessful at turning him the are going to schedule a c-section. They are worried about him leaning on his cord and causing problems with the fluid being so low, due to his cord being more delicate then most so they said an early emergency c-section is possible. But when they measured him on Thursday he was weighing in around 5lbs so he should due well if he comes now.

I'll try to keep you posted somewhat more often.
