Happy Father's Day to my daddy-to-be hubby! I can't believe we only have 10ish weeks left until my due date. I guess you'd now consider me in my 7th month? I'm not sure.
We had our first birthing/prenatal class this past Thursday and while it didn't give us a whole lot of new info, we were able to do a tour of the hospital where I'll be giving birth. It certainly makes things feel a bit more real. It was interesting to see how all of us ladies in the class are pretty much the same gestation, yet we are carry so much differently. I stick just about straight out while we could barely tell some women were pregnant! Crazy!
On Friday I had my 30 week OB appt. My blood pressure is perfect, so is my weight gain. (It's still scary to see those numbers on the scale though!) I also got ANOTHER lecture from a nurse about my iron but trust me I've been doing really well with taking it! The only problem? I'm measuring two weeks behind now. (If you remember, four weeks ago I was measuring just one week behind.) Dr. S said that it's good that we are still seeing growth but there just isn't enough. He's sending me for a detailed u/s and a consult with a Perinatologist in Tucson on Wednesday. I did panic after I walked out of the office but friends and family have calmed me down a bunch in the last couple days. Honestly, I'm trying my best not to think about it until Wednesday. I've gone through scenarios, good and bad, and I just need to let go and let God handle it. Please pray for me and little Skittle-that I would not stress about this and that she would continue to grow properly. In the meantime I'm trying to up my protein intake as I've heard that can help fatten her up a little.
Thanks everyone! I love you all!

DON'T STRESS! You cause more harm than good when you do. God wanted you to have this child and that is why He blessed you with her. Let go and let God and all will be perfect as it should be. I'm so so glad that this attempt was successful. I told you so!!! ;) Many hugs and kisses. Tell your hubby we say Happy Father's Day! Belated for the both of you, actually, since I missed Mother's Day. :)
