Week 24


May 9th, 2011: Back to Dr. Sue Palmer- Maternal-Fetal Specialist

Turns out doctors really want to see this baby in detail! I am fine with this as long as things are still going ok. I went back to the specialist to check on my placenta previa, maybe they just said this so I wouldn't get upset, because that was fine. The placenta is still really close to the cervix but it doesn't matter anyway because I am having a C-section. If I didn't know better, a C-section seems like the way to go? I was also told he has a very large genetically induced head... another plus to the section thing:) Must be all those Dunlap brains.

New diagnosis: polyhydramnios due to the kidneys of the baby. So again, cut out more sugars and eat a better balanced diet. My cup of coffee and banana for breakfast did NOT impress her, I don't think I could be diabetic. Did anyone else get told this with their boy?? It seemed like if it was a little girl and the kidneys were doing this, it would have been devastating, but since it was a boy, that was normal?? I need to read up on my Maternal Newborn Nursing book.

Otherwise everything was good. I started to prepare for my long flight home with some 81mg Aspirin. Oh the joy of flying for 24 hours...

I haven't uploaded any ultrasound pictures, we have so many now... coming soon though.

I got some fun stuff from my shower though! I am sure this will get used on many game days!! Thanks Auntie Mel, one of the coolest aunts so far :)
