Bi-Weekly OB Appointment

Yesterday afternoon, we were supposed to see Dr. Branaman.  Unfortunately, she had to go out for a delivery.  So, after waiting almost an hour, we got to see Anne.

Anne listened to Kenton's heartbeat and measured my stomach to see how he was doing.  We then discussed that he dropped down and that I had been contracting last week.  Anne did the fetal fibronectin test to see if there is a possibility I will go into labor within the next two weeks. This is the same test they ran when I was at OB triage in December, which came back negative.  The test should be in on Monday probably.  She also checked my cervix to see if I have dilated any further.  The good news is that I have not dilated any more, but am starting to thin out and his head is low. 

So ... no real news from yesterday's appointment.  I need to continue to take it easy and avoid contractions, especially since he's low and I'm already thinning out.  If the fetal fibronectin test comes back positive, I will likely receive steroid shots to help develop Kenton's lungs, just in case.

I will be 32 weeks along tomorrow.  Staring next week, I have non-stress tests every Monday and Thursday, 17P injections every Tuesday, as well as bi-weekly OB appointments.  It's all becoming overwhelming trying to coordinate this crazy schedule, but it's all worth it.

I came across a realization yesterday.  God created Kenton.  He is perfect in God's plan and perfect in God's eyes.  Who am I to question that?  :)
