Grace’s Two Week Check Up

We took Grace yesterday for a weight check, since they were worried about her weight last week.  She has gained 9 ounces in 7 days, so they were happy to see her weight up to 7 pounds, 5 ounces.  Dr. Mark also checked the sacral dimple she has and said he wouldn’t think it was anything to worry about, but it was up to us if we want to take her to the ultrasound appointment we made.  I think we might keep the appointment to be safe.

The Story of Gracie’s Arrival

On Sunday, April 3rd, I hopped in the shower to get the day started.  We were going to run some errands like stopping at the supermarket, and I wanted to do some stuff around the house to get ready for the baby.  As I was in the shower, I started to run out of breath - like I had been doing some heavy exercising.  I kept turning the hot water down, thinking maybe the water was too hot, but in the end of things, I had to call Jim to help me get out of the shower and help me to the bedroom.  I could do nothing but cry, begging for the pregnancy to be over, even though it was only 35 weeks.  Fortunately, I had an appointment the next day with the nurse practitioner at the ob/gyn office, so I figured I would go in and let her know what was going on and see if we could move my scheduled c-section up from April 29th to something sooner.
