Baby Bickel Update #3

Here is a quick update, b/c I am very tired today and going to try to nap (not good at napping).

The baby's "breathing" is really good. She has gained almost a pound and a half. When they told us two weeks ago that she was about 4 pounds, she was actually only 3 lb and 10 oz. I think the doctor was trying to not scare us. She is right at 5 pounds now. If she keeps gaining at that rate we may have a bigger baby than expected...which is fine. I had gained three pounds over the last two weeks and most of it went to her. So, I get to keep eating alot for now.

We found out last week that from here on out we can have her at Piedmont Fayette hospital which is on the other side of Peachtree City from us...that saves us another 30 to 45 minutes of driving to Southern Regional. Piedmont has a neo-natal unit as well, just not as advanced as Southern Regional, but she is far enough along that she would be good in their neo-natal unit if necessary.

We get to skip our regular OB visit this week and I'll have another update on Monday after our visit with the specialist again. Thursday will be 35 weeks, so we are slowly getting there.
