Seen the specialist yesterday and things went ok. The doctor checked Nate's size and he hasn't grown in the past 2 weeks. At my last appt. he was weighing in at 4lbs. 8 oz. and now he's 4lbs. 4oz. 2 weeks later, so of course I got scared and he said its nothing to worry about that he just might be a small baby but the thought of him not gaining is what scares me but again he said not to worry about it. Also, since I get NSTs twice a week he said if he sees any dips in his heart or in my fluid levels he'll just take the baby out which really scares me. I don't want him to come early cause of his lung development but if anything were to happen I think I'll try my hardest to keep him in longer and see what they tell me. But if his life is in jeopardy of course I'd rather have him out. I can't wait to hold him and see him but I want him healthy more than anything. Also, the specialist decided to do a 4D so that I can get a look at him and he's ADORABLE! looks just like Bubbs. My doctor gave me a picture but its really hard to make out since his pictures aren't good quality.
Then, I was waiting for the receptionist to get back so she can check me out and give me new appts. and thats when I started to feel awful. I was standing there and trying to concentrate and thats when I started sweating and shaking really bad. so they made me sit down and I passed out! They checked my blood and it was 48, super low so they gave me water and a protein bar and were putting rags on me to cool down and I felt a whole lot better about 10 minutes after, it was really scary. I said, I learned my lesson and I'll never go again without eating! My other problem was that I was cleaning like a mad woman right before so the combination of exercise and not eating almost killed me!
Now things are good and baby is moving and I can't wait to see the nurses tomorrow to get reassurance. I know this will be a constant worry on my mind, uuhh!
