28 Weeks 1 Day

Sorry it has been so long - I was out of town for a week and I've been busy since I've been home. My rash went away but then my skin peeled and flaked off my hands. So weird. I'm just glad it is over. I have had more problems with heartburn - I actually woke up choking on vomit the other night. It wouldn't stop so I ended up sleeping in the recliner for a couple of hours. I have an appt with my OB on Monday and I am going to ask her if I should/can use something else besides Tums. It isn't helping to take them after I barf a little, and I'm not sure they work to take them ahead of time. We'll see what she says.

Other than that, I am feeling okay. Getting huge and weighing a LOT. I had a level II ultrasound and perinatology consult on Thursday. Baby weighs 2 lbs 11 oz or so, and he looks healthy and normal. He is still breech, though. The perinatologist said that even with my varicose veins and anterior placenta I should still be able to have a c-section if I want. He didn't seem to think it was that risky to cut. I am going to talk it over again with my OB on Monday and see what she thinks based on his opinion.

I started kick counts last night. He moved 10 times in 10 minutes. I'm going to try to do it daily, but I'm not sure I am doing it right. I guess something is better than nothing. I didn't really do them with Hadley and I probably should have.

We made a little progress with Ben's job. They offered him the position and now we're waiting to see if they can find a new store location. They are not going to stay open in the current location because it isn't the best for customers and the landlord is crazy. If they can find a place in time (by October) then we might move. Scary! I'll post updates as they happen.
