Molly’s room is finally ready for her!! I love it and I can’t believe how clutter free it is. Only needing one of everything really allows for a whole lot more space. We just can’t wait for her arrival!
38 week belly is growing everyday!
I just thought this was too funny…Lila has to be in all of the belly pictures and this one looks like she is trying to mimic me!!!
Well now to the exciting news!!! As we know Molly had been breech this entire pregnancy and in desperation I started seeing a chiropractor who performs the Webster Technique that is suppose to help baby turn. To everyone’s amusement, I have also tried standing on my head (recommended) and using an ice pack on the top of my belly and a warm heating pad below.
On Thursday, I went in for my appointment and my blood pressure was a little high for me. The nurse had me lay down for 10 minutes and she rechecked me. It went down quite a bit so she sent me on my on my way. I was visiting another triplet mom in the hospital for about an hour afterwards and had missed three calls from the doctor. Apparently they had decided that I needed to have a non-stress test done of the baby along with some blood work and I needed it done that night. So at 4:30pm (after leaving the house at 9am that morning) I checked into triage where I was admitted. I spent the next 4 1/2 hours in a very small room, with nothing to eat or drink since lunch, no cell phone (it died) and no TV, no magazine nothing…let’s just say I was about to scream. Finally at 9pm I was discharged and baby looked great, blood work normal and blood pressure had even went down despite the fact I was about to explode. So I was told I needed to do a 24 hour urine test to check the protein levels to be sure it wasn’t preeclampsia. I did the test and turned it in and on Saturday and called the doctor for the results…again NORMAL. However, they are still saying I have gestational hypertension (aka 3 almost 3 year olds at home and 38 week prego). So I now have to have a non stress test and an ultrasound twice a week to check her fluid. So I went in for my first one test on Monday and the baby looked great. During the ultrasound the tech said the baby's head is down here…scanning over my lower belly. I screamed…WHAT…she is head down!!! The tech looked at me funny and said yes…then I proceeded to tell her she has been breech and this was the best news ever!!! So after 3 adjustments by the chiropractor, standing on my head and irritating the baby with hot and cold something worked!!!! All after I had finally talked myself into the fact that I would be having a C-section because by this point the baby turning wasn’t going to be very likely. The crazy thing is was that I never really felt it like they said I would! So now we are back to plan A…trying for a VBAC and praying that I starting dilating very soon!!
