Complications have me slightly concerned. Overall, B is completely healthy. I, on the other hand, am not quite so lucky. 1) I was very very anemic for a few months. Explanation: hemoglobin "should" be between 12 and 14 on a healthy person and sometimes higher if you are pregnant. I was down at 7.4. So I've seen some specialists and it's back to a 9.something. 2) Another complication is my amniotic fluid. That number is supposed to be around a 10-12 normally. Mine measured at a 7.5 or something. Fantastic. So I'm being checked in sonograms like once or twice a week. If it drops below 5, we will have to induce labor because she will not be getting the nourisment she needs at all. I cannot decide if this is a blessing or if I should be scared shitless. So I'm on "modified bedrest" No work or play. Just school. I'm allowed to leave the house but I'm constantly told to "take it easy". Which if you ask me is utter bullshit. There is NO evidence that I have been able to find saying bedrest solves the problem. It's just that "foolproof plan" that doctors like to fall back on. So stupid!!!
In the midst of all of this, I have finals, organizing the apartment, and a little bit of wedding planning (not mine, Taylor is getting married in July!)
"You have no control at this point" is my new mantra
