I'm awake

Since I can't sleep, I figured I'd give everyone an update. The results from my lab work yesterday came back slightly lower than the week before. That's good news! The enzyme levels are a little below 400 and I didn't get the protein checked this week. I can check another week off and Baby T can stay put! :) Monday morning I'll head back to get more labs done for next week and we'll go from there.

I'm into week 33 now. Baby T has moved onto the size of a honeydew this month and hes probably a little over 4 pounds at this point. Even if he is delivered at 38 weeks he'll still be at the watermelon stage and should be big enough and strong enough to be born. So again, good news that my levels are down a little and we'll move on another week.


I made a list of things I need to do asap just in case plans would change. One of them is talking to work about the possibility of me leaving early and see what I can do with my maternity leave dates. They aren't that flexible so it may end up I will be off longer than planned, but we'll see. Monday I will most likely have to call off to make it to all my appointments and get my lab work done and I can see this possibly happening again before the baby is born, but it'll all work out. The one downer to being a teacher is you can't take half days, so its all or nothing. No wonder I can't sleep, I've got so much going through my mind of things that need to be done. It's hard to find good company at 3 am, but Knuckles at least sleeps next to me during my crazy awake nights! :)
