This pregnancy continues to be a bit of a challenge! I will say that I am very grateful I am still working and not on bed rest and that I am being monitored so closely, but I am getting a little tired of the constant downs. In addition to the gestational diabetes and hypertension, I was diagnosed a few weeks ago with anemia, which is easily fixed with iron supplements. I go in twice a week to be monitored, and on Monday, my fluid was on the low side of average. Anything below 5 is considered dangerous, and I was at an 8. Doc just said drink tons of water and relax as much as possible. Well I drink a ton of water anyways, but am drinking about a gallon a day these last few days in hopes of raising the fluid. I am hoping it was just her position, as she has turned herself breech for the second time since last week.. ...she is a flipper and mover so I feel reassured with her acrobats. I am now CERTAIN I will never make it to my 39 week goal, but at 34 weeks would be thrilled with 37 weeks. I just want her to come home with me from the hospital, and would be crushed if she had to stay in the NICU. Please keep thinking of sweet girl and pray for her! I am attaching a picture of her at 32 weeks...she is ov course crumpled over but she is CUTE!
