I met a new Dr at Dr. G office (high risk OB) she seems nice and I will see her next time I go, on April 15. Nothing really to report from the appointment. They would like me to have another PFT at about 32 weeks.

My contractions have been only a few a day which is from what Dr. R said normal at this stage of pregnancy. If they become 4-6 an hour than I need to call.

Well that is it.

Upcoming appointments
Dr. C. (PCP) April 14
Dr. R. (High risk ob) April 15
Dr. M. (oncologist) June 7

23 week 4 days belly picture. Not the greatest of pictures of me but I am still sick but it is the best that I have looked the last few days....

Dr. M (oncologist) March 10 3:40pm
*My appointment went well with Dr. M (oncologist) not too much to report on. Had some blood work done since I haven't had any for him done since July 2009. I am to go back and see him in June. Right now it is scheduled for June 7th which is Melanie's 4th birthday so I am going to try and reschedule.

Dr. C (PCP) March 11
*Last week I needed to go to see Dr. C because I was having contractions. They were not productive contractions, Dr. C. checked my cervix and all is well there, thank god! Luckily they have slowed down, I think partly because I have not done anything the last few days.

Dr. G (High risk OB) March 12 9am
*My numbers are still good and I only need to test my sugars a couple times a week. He feels that the further along that I get I will need to start to watch them closer. Talked to him about the contractions that I was having the previous day and starting at my next appointment tomorrow they will really be monitoring my cervix by ultrasound.

Dr. C (PCP) March 17
*this appointment was supposed to be tomorrow but since I have been out all week this cold that is not getting any better I thought I should move it up 1 day to get the cold checked out and a doctor’s note for missing work. I have bronchitis and I am now on antibiotics for 5 days and continue with the inhalers. Hopefully I will be back at work on Monday

Tomorrow I see Dr. G (high risk ob) and will be having an ultrasound.

3 weeks...

Sorry it has been about 3 weeks since my last post. Where has this time gone?

So I will update all my cartoon pictures...

week 22
Week 22 - this totally how I feel, not towards everyone but just some.

week 21
Week 21

week 20
Week 20

Over the last few weeks I went to my class to learn how to monitor my sugar levels. I watched my levels everyday for about a week, 4 times a day. After the week I had to go back to my class to review my numbers and determine what the next steps were. They determined that since my levels were good that I would only have to test my sugars 2 days 4 times a day. It is up to me to decide when I want to test them. However since we did test for gestational diabetes early things may change the further along that I get.

My next appointments are:
Dr. M (oncologist) March 10 3:40pm
Dr. G (High risk OB) March 12 9am (I believe that is when this appointment is) – this appointment is to look at my numbers with the Dr.
Dr. G (High risk OB) March 18 1:45pm Ultrasound and appointment with the dr.
Dr. C (PCP) March 18 4pm regular monthly appointment with Dr. C

Other than that I don’t think that there is anything else to report on.
