September 6, 2007 - 27 weeks 3 days

Well, we had another OB appointment yesterday. So far things are still looking really good. My blood pressure was 128/70 and my weight was only up another pound. I am still really shocked about the lack of great weight gain this time around but, as the nurse explained it, this is a different baby and different pregnancy! I am not doing anything to try not to gain weight, but I guess I am more active this time around, so that could explain it! Hannah is still doing wonderfully. Her heart rate was nice and strong. I had to have the Rhogham(sp?) shot before I left. I don't generally like being stuck, but I can handle it most of the time. The only problem with the shot is that it stings really bad and leaves your hind end sore for several hours afterward. But, As always, I will do whatever is best for me and Hannah and this shot is absolutely medically necessary, so the temporary pain is worth it! Unfortunately, I left the appointment feeling somewhat unhappy with things again. I shared the notes from the Urologist with my doctor and he seemed a bit concerned with the plan of keeping Hannah inside until 38 weeks. Long story short, after much discussion with Henry and my parents over my own uneasiness, I called and left word for my OB to call me back on Monday. I plan on telling him that I trust him and I need for him to be ok with the plan. I will ask him to contact the Urologist himself and come to whatever conclusions they can together. Right now, they are both willing to do whatever the other feels is best and while that is great it has left me in the middle making all the plans. I am not doctor and I will never claim to be so I will feel much better knwoing that they have spoken to eachother and come up with a plan that makes them both happy. Most importantly, I need to know that my OB is confortable with the plan. I know he is concerned about me and the baby and since I could sense his concern yesterday it made me feel concerned now as well. So, hopefully, I will talk to my doctor on Monday and then he'll talk to the Urologist and we can come up with a plan that suits us all! As always, I'll update when I know more.
