The countdowns begin...

I feel like this blog has turned into doctor update central..at least once every two weeks. I met with my doctor this past Thursday and really got the same news as on Wednesdays ultrasound appointment. He was pleased with the ultrasound results and said that it was my best one so far. He still did not mention anything to me about size and I don't know why. I know that it shouldn't bother/frusterate me...but it does. I am thinking that either they didn't get a great measurement on it or maybe it is longer, but thinner and they don't want to freak me out with numbers...or who knows why!! According to him, my u/s was good-not 'normal' yet, but good. He still fully believes that the clot will be absorbed by the end of this pregnancy-I REALLY hope so. I hate worrying about it ALL the time! I am not completely off bed-rest yet, but he did lift some of the restrictions. Instead of only going to work 1 day a week, I can go in 2-3 days a week. I can run to Target, but not if I have been to work that day. I still cannot lift anything over 10 lbs...so I guess my mom still have to help me with the laundry...oh well :)

The countdowns are really starting to kick in now. August 19th (my next appointment date) will equal 24 weeks. For those of you who aren't aware, 24 weeks equals viability. I in no way want to deliver a baby at 24 weeks, but it it was to happen on or after this date-we are at least given a fighting chance. Only 25 days to go!!! Then we will create the 28 week, 32 week, etc..but for right now, we are counting down to the big 24 week.

I am also feeling baby girl Fleming move around a lot more-it is every day now. I love this part. I cannot wait until Gary will be able to feel her move all around and Brooke too. Jack already told my sister that he doesn't want to feel the baby move and that he doesn't want another baby either-sorry Amy...:)

The one dissapointment this weekend was that it was my friends annual trip to Lake Springfield that I LOVE to go to. We have such a great time! Unfortuently, the doctor was not ok with my going so we are stuck at home. Gary took me out to dinner and a movie which did make up for it. AND I found a new PBK quilt for Brooke's room for only $20.00!! It was my first real 'bargin' find and I am SO excited. I think that by the end of August/early September I will start to get more serious about her new room-can't wait.
