23 Weeks

23 Weeks and counting! Went to the doctor this week and received some news. Of course I cried when the midwife told me that I would need to take it easy. The midwife informed me that my fluids were low. The normal range in 8 to 23 and my number was 8. She told me that I would need to drink a lot more water and to rest more or they would put me on bed rest. I could not believe she was telling me this. My sister-in-law Chason had low fluids which resulted in 4 months of bed rest. I had never heard of this until her and Mrs. Cantrell at school was placed on bed rest. The other issue was Bella Grace is measuring a week behind (body parts not organs.) The midwife said this could mean one of two things: either she was going to be a small baby or I need to be eating more and gaining more weight. At this particular doctors visit I had officially gained 13 pounds.

My next appointment in July 13th and Dr. Grogan will be performing another ultrasound. I have been drinking a TON of water and resting every couple of hours. WE WILL HAVE BETTER NEWS NEXT APPOINTMENT!

Congratulations Aubrey! Vera is beautiful I am glad you are home from the hospital and doing much better.
