Today was filled with doctor appointments for Kenton. We've been really focusing on our family as of late and trying not to worry too much about Kenton. Today, he got all of our focus again. :)
We started off the day at my bi-weekly OB appointment. Today I am 27 weeks and 5 days a long. I have gained a total of 15 pounds, which is right where I've been with all of my pregnancies. My belly is measuring right where it should be and I have not dilated anymore. This is all great news! Kenton is sitting extremely low and causing a lot of pressure and weight on my cervix, but nothing is dilating right now. Hunter sat low the whole time too, so this isn't too much of a concern.
With mixed emotions, I am also not allowed to return to work. Since I have contractions if I'm on my feet for more than an hour or do too much activity, my doctor is concerned that I will not listen to my body and sit down and rest when necessary. She must know me too well. :) I hate that I won't be with my class anymore. Those kids are my babies away from my own. I've had them for a year in a half now and it's going to be hard to give up my control. However, control is something I have learned that I do not have over anything ... God has that. :) The good news is that I'm not technically on bed rest. I can still be up and doing things, but need to be able to sit and/lay if need be. This means that I can try to get into some sort of routine at home, which hopefully will carry over once Kenton is here.
I go back for another check at the OB on January 19th.
