As of today I have gained 28 pounds (yes, two-eight)- my goal was to stay within the 30 pound range. Fortunately, Dr. Apodaca was not concerned in the least- he reminded me that I went from super active to no activity and also mentioned that the progesterone I am receiving from my weekly shots will really contribute to weight gain. Not sure how I could have forgotten about the progesterone being a factor- thought it was all those "goodies" that Luis and my mom have been giving me!
I had the fetal fibronectin test today, and the results should be in soon, but no call yet. If it is negative, Dr. Apodaca will allow me to begin walking 10 minutes daily (woo hooo!)- previously he wanted me to wait until I reached 32 weeks but feels that I am doing well. However, if it is positive, that increases the chances of our baby boy coming sooner and thus, I will need to continue without any changes to my current activity level. I feel confident that the results will be negative. At my following visit I will have the GTT-glucose tolerance test.
Luis took the remainder of the day off to spend some time with me, which I so appreciated. He has an incredibly understanding manager, who is always asking him how I am doing and encourages him to do whatever is in the best interest of our growing family. What an ideal work situation for Luis! We are very fortunate. Now, just doing some relaxing at home. I will post an update once we receive the fFN results.
Praying for negative results! We want that baby cooking for as long as possible!! Tim was able to take a month off of work after the baby was born. It was so nice to have that help. Sounds like Luis will be able to help too with such a great boss!
