Appt Today

I saw my RE today. I gained 2lbs in the last 2 weeks and I'm measuring close to 37 weeks right now. Though she didn't make me lie down completely to get measured, so that number could be off.

The babies are still wiggly as ever. Baby As (our calmer one)HB was 144 and Baby Bs (the hyper one) was 166.

I was SO SWOLLEN today that I couldn't get into my shoes, so I wore my slippers to the docs. And my hands were swollen too. AND, I couldn't manage to leave a urine sample. In fact, I woke up at 10AM today. I don't set the alarm anymore because I always have to pee 2 or 3 times a night. But last night, I never woke up to pee, slept late, hardly had to pee when I got up and was so unbelievably swollen! My BP was just fine though. I had to chug water and wait around until I could leave a sample for her. She wanted to make sure it wasn't a 3 or more for protein. Finally, I was able to go enough for her to check it and it was a 2+. Low enough for me to go home with lab work, but high enough for her to want an update on Thursday when I go in for my progesterone shot.

I also have a VM in to the u/s place to see if they can get us in for another one before the end of the year. That would be GREAT! But they're only open two days this week, so we will see.

Gonna go lay down now and see if I can unswell a bit!

Sounds like your babies are doing great!! You are doing a great job!

 

Sounds like you had a great appointment. We are so close now!

 

So sorry to hear about the horrilbe swelling. Not having to get up at night is nice, but without getting rid of all that water at night, I bed the swelling feels that much worse.

Hope you feel more comfortable soon.
