33 weeks - Bedrest
I had a doctor's appointment today at 9 am. I lost 2 lbs (most likely from working on the new house so much recently) and Conner's heart rate was low again, so we did an ultrasound AGAIN. Jason thinks we are going to set a world record for the most ultrasounds in one pregnancy. We've had 6! During the ultrasound we found out that Conner now weighs 4 lbs 9 oz & is the cutest thing ever. He kept playing peek-a-boo when the tech was trying to get a picture of his face. The ultrasound also showed that my amniotic fluid levels are low. Darn this Louisiana heat! To try to get my levels up, the doctor has put me on bed rest until I have a follow up ultrasound on Wednesday (that's right #7 is already scheduled.) While on bed rest, I am going to try to hydrate as best as I can & hopefully that will get my levels up. Jason's going to get me a watermelon on the way home to help get more fluids in me. Yum!
