Today's appointment went well. The ultrasound was quick (just checking fluid levels) so I barely got to see Conner. The ultrasound tech pointed out how low Conner has dropped (it was hard to see his face around my hips) & that made me realize just how close we are to his due date.
My AFI level is up to 8.1 from 6.4, so I no longer have to be on bed rest (WooHoo!) My levels are still considered low, so I have to keep hydrating like crazy. Jason, aka the water nazi, is making sure I drink as much water as my body can hold.
I gained a pound from last week, but I am still 6 pounds below where the doctor would like me to be. As a result the doctor added Ensure to my diet to try to get some extra pounds on me. Yuck! But whatever works.
Since my weight & amniotic fluids are low I have to go back next week & have another ultrasound (Yep, #8.) If my fluids are okay, it should be my last ultrasound of the pregnancy. Hopefully by next week my AFI will be 10 or higher.
On Sunday we're going to tour the hospital. Thank goodness we'll have a chance to get familiar with it before Conner is here.
