Baby H update

Boy oh boy, can back to back doctors visits really exhaust you. I came home from my summer vacation on the East coast to visit my normal OBGYN and then a specialist.
Doc Martin thought all looked good in the 8 month ultrasound except for this tiny little glitch. The urtera, a tube from the kidney to the bladder was a tad bit wider than normal. Doc wanted me to go see a specialist ASAP, just to be safe. I went the very next day and she said all looked good with the kidneys, urtera and the bladder. The placenta however has not moved like Doc Martin had said. GREAT, now what I ask? A C-section is in the near future. No bed rest, just take it easy, no strenuous activity. WONDERFUL, I have to get a classroom ready for second graders. I have two more appointments Aug 10th with Doc Martin and Aug 17th with Doc Price. It will be then that we schedule the C-Section. I probably won’t start the school year since Doc Martin does his surgeries on Wednesday and Fridays. Maybe I can get him to do mine on Friday, Aug 25th so I can sit through a few meetings and have a few days of work before taking my 8 week maternity leave. We’ll see.


Please pray that I can accomplish all of the things on my To Do List before this beautiful baby arrives. Also pray that this baby doesn’t get too anxious to meet his or her big brother and stays put until the end of August. Lastly, pray for my husband that he will have patience with me and my need 22 month old son. Mo has to step up and take care of a lot of things at home since I have to relax and put my feet up. I will keep you all updated with the prognosis of Baby H and his or her arrival.
