Another Update

[aav1125]

So yesterday we went up to triage. I wasn't feeling Jaelynn move as much as she normally does, plus I couldn't keep any juice down to try to get her to move for me. So they hooked me up to the monitors, like normal. I was on there for almost an hour when a new nurse came in and said that she was not reacting to the NST so they wanted to do a Biophysical Profile on her. Needless to say, she only got a 6/10. She wouldn't breathe or move at all for them. So I got admitted for the night to be monitored, and they decided to go ahead and start my steroid shots. Since the triage was getting so busy, they moved me( the triage room wouldn't have been very comfortable anyway). I got moved to the recovery rooms.....Not a ton more comfy, but better! The beds in there suck though.....Finally after 6 hours, I got a regular bed! I don't think I have ever been so excited to see a hospital bed! LOL!!! But anyway, her monitoring went well enough that they let me go home to get a few hours of sleep (I only got 2 hours there) and then I had to be back at 4 for another BPP. I couldn't wait to get out of there, I was so sore from the bed, and STARVING since they didn't let me eat just in case. So at four we came back, and the PAC told me they didn't even have an appointment for me, apparently they told them a different last name. But they got me in to a regular u/s room instead of a monitoring room. That was nice anyway, because they did ALL of her measurements.....They were not the most reassuring. Her head measured the farthest along at 29 weeks and 3 days. Her stomach was at 28 weeks and 5 days. However, she did breathe the whole time, and moved for him. She is breech now....I forget what he called it but she has her legs pulled up by her head, so just her butt is down. When this whole thing started, she was measuring in the 8th percentile, she is now in the 4th! She weighs about 3 pounds 3 oz now. My waters have dropped from 14 to 9. They said as far as her BPP goes, she did really well. Although her growth wasn't the best, I have the steroids in me now. So I go see my OB tomorrow and we will see what HE decides to do. I know the PAC Dr and the high risk Dr know what they are doing, but they have only been on my case for 3 weeks now, and I have been seeing my Dr on average of 2 times a month the whole time. So I am so much more comfortable with HIS decision. I know it may make me seem like a bad person, but I just cant wait for her to get here. I just want to hold her and tell her how much I love her! I hate going through this. But I will keep you all updated on what is going on! Thanks to everyone who has been here for me!

This is what I did when I wasn't sure if Elizabeth was going chose wings or shoes..  I told her about all the cool shopping trips we were going to make, about her beautiful room, and how we were going to rule the boys.  :)  It made me feel better, and I think she listened because she choose shoes..

Sorry about your scare..  We had to have a biophysical profile done too.  it is so scary to think you may go into labor WAY too early.  I am so thankful they are giving you steriod shots to help her little lungs. 

Tell her she is GROUNDED and isn't allowed to come out of her room for a few more weeks.  lol.
