Baby Girl is growing!!!

Had my growth scan today and baby g is growing good. Looks like she has decided to play catch up and is now sitting in the 50th percentile for growth! She now weighs over 4 pounds and they are happy with her growth right now. On other fronts, I am now having to do stress tests twice weekly on the fetal monitor and this seems to be normal in high risk pregnancy's. Have to do another kidney protein test (the dreaded jugs of pee) and my iron level was a little low so I have to compensate with a supplement. The doc seems to think stress is creating an elevated blood pressure and she wants me to take it a little easy and kick out all distractions right now so the baby will continue to grow at a normal rate. Amniotic fluid is back to normal and my fluid intake is getting better. I have been having severe round ligament pain for weeks and can hardly walk sometimes and doc recommended a belly band. I picked one up today and THANK GOD!!! If you are prego, buy one, it will help you soooo much. I can't believe how much of a difference it has made and it helped get her to finally move off of my ligaments. She is still wedged in my pelvis and face forward and looks snug as a bug, she must have been sleepy cause we saw her rub her eyes on the ultrasound. Got a better look at her profile and she is a doll! Definitely taking the beauty genes from the both of us! Laundered all her clothes and sheets today and hoping to finish up the nursery by the end of the week in between my school work and house duties. Glad Papa Bear's boss let him join me for the ultrasound today I can tell he enjoys seeing her move around in there.
