Well bye bye to my good day. I really hate Mondays when I have to go out. And then even worse it snowed a ton today (only on Mondays) and was so cold and windy. So we had to go to the OB. After having a couple good days of feeling good I was a little bit paranoid, suddenly feeling good isn't always a good thing, but I was totally miserable today so that helped a bit. Anyway then the OB couldn't find the baby's heartbeat with the doppler, I got more and more freaked out as the minutes passed for sure and finally he gave up and we went in the back for an ultrasound. I love ultrasounds but definitely not this kind, anyway Baby Pokey is doing great and we saw the heartbeat and the reason we couldn't find it with the doppler. Baby Pokey was having a little party in there and dancing around non-stop. Bella and John were both really active too and it looks like Pokey will be the same way.
I lost more weight though (luckily my OB doesn't know about the 5 pounds I lost before he ever saw me in January) and he said that if my weight doesn't stabilize by my next appointment in two weeks that we'll have to move on to a feeding tube. I really really don't want this at all, but I'm not sure I can eat enough food to gain any weight. On the plus side I am losing weight slower than I did with John. I'm able to drink a bit more now but bubbly water is the main thing that works for me and it has no calories. I eat a couple snacks a day but not any substantial amount of food really.
Then we went and got my PICC dressing changed and everything is going well with that. No more complications and all past things seem to have resolved themselves. I'm sick of it though, the tape on my arm is driving me crazy and I miss taking showers.

girl dont do that to me. my heart stopped when i was reading the first few sentences. I am so happy to hear baby is doing just fine.
I hope you can figure out a way to keep some food down and stay away from the feeding tube.
