Well, it has been along time since an update, and so many things have happened since the last blog.
Matthew, Maggie May, Marley and I have moved into our first home in Pooler, GA (right outside Savannah).
With help from our wonderful friends and family (thank you Jonathon, J.R. and Devon and Momma Jill!!!) we moved everything in.....
With the stressful process of our moving in being finished, and our internet now hooked up, I can update everyone on Easton's status!
In my 29th week I came down with a pretty bad chest cold and was coughing often. After a week of trying to "let it pass" I was not feeling good. When I went in for my 30 week check up, I was measuring 4 weeks ahead of schedule. With that, my doctor had me take a precautionary ultra sound to see if Easton was just really big, or if there was another problem.
The ultra sound picked up on extra fluid ( a normal range is between 5 and 25 units...mine was nearing the 25 mark). With my fluid levels being high, it was enough concern to have me start coming in on a weekly basis for the rest of the pregnancy. The good news is, I will be getting weekly pictures of Easton!
The other thing they discovered in the ultra sound was that Easton was, not so surprisingly, small for 30 weeks...12th percentile small...If they would go by his weight at that ultra sound the new due date would be.... October 3rd!!! (My dad's birthday!) When the ultra sound tech told Matthew and me this news, we both looked at each other and I had a comforting feeling come over me. I truely believe it was my Dad's way of saying that everything is going to be fine.
Along with weekly ultra sounds, I will be getting weekly stress tests where they monitor contractions and Easton's heart beat. Today everything was fine in both the ultra sound and the Stress Test.
So far, I have gained a total of 16 pounds (they want me to gain a max of 25-30 pounds) so my health is looking good so far...no diabetes, blood pressure good etc. Easton is moving around SO much lately. He is no longer just kicking...he is rolling around....it is crazy to watch. My stomach is sometimes completely crooked from him positioning himself weird. :)
Last week, all of my friends made the trip to Savannah for the baby shower and I had such a wonderful time. It was great catching up and seeing everyone again (thank you everyone!!!)
Until next week....suuuuuuah! :) love you guys!
