Uncharted Territory

Uncharted territory is how we are describing this phase of my pregnancy. As of today, I am 31 4/7 weeks along. Isaiah was born at 30 1/7 weeks, so I am officially pregnant longer this time than last time. YEA!

My last appointment was this past Monday. My FFN test came back good, so their is only a 5% chance that the baby will be born sometime in the next two weeks. The heart rate was 141 beats per minute. My next appointments are during the first week of December. I will have an ultrasound, a FFN test with my doctor, and a consultation with my dietician about my gestational diabetes.

Below are some of the latest ultrasound pictures. I did the best I could with the flash on my digital camera. I hope that you can see them okay.

Ultrasound on October 31st
The baby is looking kind of stressed out with the little hand on the forehead. So adorable!
Ultrasound on October 31st - 28 3/7 weeks along

Ultrasound on November 17th - 30 6/7 weeks along

Check out the chubby cheeks! I'm thinking the baby looks a lot like Isaiah's ultrasound and baby pictures, but the chubby cheeks make me think that this baby will look more like me than Isaiah did. (Isaiah is a miniature Tim.) We shall see!
Keep praying for red hair! ;-)

Hi Becky,

Let me start by saying I love your blog! My name is Kirsten, and I'm a member of the public relations team that raises awareness for FullTerm, The Fetal Fibronectin test. I read your blog with interest and thought you might like to learn more about the test. Check out www.fullterm.net, and feel free to include the site as a link to your blog so that readers can access the information.

Additionally, if you're interested in helping spread awareness about the benefits of the FullTerm Test, please contact me by emailing fullterm@schwartz-pr.com. My team generates stories about the benefits of the test among women at high risk for delivering early in national, local and online outlets. In the last few months we've secured stories in Working Mother magazine, the FitPregnancy Blog and the Boston Parent's Paper. Most recently we secured the following article on the Lively Women Blog: http://www.livelywomen.com/2008/12/05/interview-prevention-of-preterm-births/#more-1458

We're always interested in speaking with women who had the test and are willing to share their experience to make sure other, at-risk pregnant women know there is a test available to help predict premature birth.

I hope to hear from you.

Regards,
Kirsten
