An Update and More

Armed with my blood test and doppler reports, I met SuperGyn yesterday morning. Everything is okay. There is no change in the medication. On cards next is a Glucose Load Test that I need to get done next week and an anomaly scan during week 19-20. My BP was good at 120/60 and weight gain is within range, so everything is okay for now.

I have a fetal heart monitor at home, so I listen to Season's heart whenever I want to and it is pretty relaxing. My placenta is still low-lying even though it seems to have shifted away from the OS. SuperGyn is hoping it will go further up (and that is what I hope too).

Have you been to Reba's lately? I was very sad to learn of her miscarriage, and the fact that even though the bub was no more, her body had not realized it. This miscarriage has made her and her hubby face a very hard decision on what they want to do in their TTC pursuit further. If you can, I wish you will go and leave her some words of comfort. I can't quite express it, but there was a very raw emotion lying there.

Also, one of Kakunaa's friend has volunteered and created a 'Save the Frosties' fund for Kakunaa. Kakunaa had given birth to her son this year, but the sperm donor is no more, and the frozen embryos are the only chance for baby P to have a related sibling. The term for free storage is up and the annual storage charges are stiff. If you can help spread the word, help her directly, or take this to someone who can, it would be fantastic.

    I'm so glad to read all is well with you and Season. I hope your placenta will move up, mine was low-lying too with my first pregnancy and moved up by itself.

I Should Have Known

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
