Not much has changed since my last update. I started seeing my OB every two wks so we had an appointment last Thursday. Jasper’s heart rate was steady at 146…I was glad to see it was up a little. It had been running in the 120’s. I can only believe that it is still beating because of the grace of God. If you saw all the fluid surrounding it and his lungs…you would be amazed as well. That is a miracle to me in itself. He’s a little fighter. I don’t think the doctors thought he would make it this long but they too will say that there is always another factor GOD. His movements are strong and often so it is a nice comfort to me as we are getting closer to the date of his arrival. I am getting really anxious and emotional. I think as time wines down I will become an emotional mess. I am still gaining a ton of amniotic fluid. I was 30 calendar wks last week but measuring 36 wks. I am gaining a month in measurement every 2 calendar wks. At this rate I will be measuring 54 wks prego at our Csection date of Aug 13th. My OB said there is not a lot she can do about the fluid…but at this point I am feeling really good. My blood pressure is great and I feel really well. I did not ask a ton of questions about all the extra fluid because it kind of depressed me and I really did not want to hear the answer at that point. Plus Jim was not with me at the appointment and he is usually the question asker. Lol Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss. I was having an emotional week and I really did not want to deal with anything else or think about all that amniotic fluid. So when we go to our specialist this Friday we will dive a little deeper into risk and complications. We had a great father’s day. We traveled to Austin and stayed the weekend at Barton Springs Resort for father’s day. Jim passed his CPA exam so he had his swearing in ceremony on Saturday morning. The weather was wonderful and the kids really enjoyed hanging with their cousins and grandparents. Please continue to pray for Jasper’s health and that the amniotic fluid I am carrying will taper off. Thanks again for all the love, prayers, and support!!!!
