Well, this was THE goal. Each day on top of 34 weeks is three days NOT in the NICU. I have managed to keep her inside for six weeks beyond what we originally thought back on June 4th when my body decided to go into labor. Tomorrow, I am to stop the medication that prevents contractions, which essentially means I may have more pain and the contractions may return. I can have more freedom outside of lying in bed all the time; however, I am supposed to ease into it since I have lost a lot of stamina. I have lost weight overall and have only gained 23 pounds thus far in this pregnancy. I gained 32 with Tanner and we have already passed the point of when he would have been born. So, Kinsey wins the contest of who stayed inside longer!
This is a picture of Tanner enjoying some spaghetti noodles with Papa.
That's awesome, Holly! I'm so happy you have made it this far. My second niece was born last Friday at 35 weeks. My sister didn't have much amniotic fluid and something was up with her placenta. Fortunately Avery only had to spend 4 1/2 days in NICU. Now my sister is trying to adjust with having 2 kids under 2!! Enjoy your newfound freedom!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear this Holly. It has to make you feel so much better about how this pregnancy is going. I really hope that you have a healthy little girl that has as much faith as you do. :) Good luck.
