33w5d - Dr. Perry

We went to see Dr. Perry today. He said he was pleased with what he saw. He didn't take any measurements as far as growth is concerned today though. He said he likes to wait 3 weeks between checking that because of the margin of error. He said you can get a better picture of growth if you wait 3 weeks. So he will check that next Monday.

He checked umbilical cord blood flow and blood flow to her brain. Both looked good and we in the 50s - I think around 54 or 56. Her heart rate was 159. Her lungs looked good. The amniotic fluid is still on the low side of normal. Today is was 7.8 but he said that is ok. My cervix has shortened a cm. It is now 3 cm. Not a big deal. And she is of course, still breech.

I will have another NST on Thursday with Dr. Connell and then I will see Dr. Perry twice next week before he goes out of town for a week.

We also got to have lunch with my best friend from college - Meg - who drove up with her two precious children last night just to meet us for lunch today!! Her Mom - Mom #2 - as I have always called her also came too!!! It was so much fun!! I hope we can all get together again soon!! I miss you guys!!!
