I love boring appointments!

I haven't posted about my medical status in while, and the reason for that is that everything continues to look really good--there just hasn't been anything to update. But after a very routine appointment today, I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know how Baby Campbell and I are doing.

My fluid continues to look awesome. Since the doctors determined that my membranes resealed, we haven't been terribly concerned about fluid levels, but it's still nice to know that there's enough of a cushion around the baby. 

This baby is a mover and a shaker and has flipped several times, but today he or she was head down. I know that we're still early enough that this could very easily change, but it's still a relief to know that right now he/she is in the right position. Because of the location of my placenta, I don't always feel him/her as frequently when he/she is head down, which causes me a little bit of panic from time to time. But I'm trying to be faithful, so I take a deep breath, pray, and then poke him/her until he/she moves again. 

My antibody titers went up a month ago to 1:2, but we're still within the safe range. If they get to 1:8, we'll need to monitor the baby for distress. 

I had my one-hour glucose test last week, and everything came back fine. So no three-hour test for me! Yay! 

Blood pressure was good, temperature was normal, pulse was normal, etc. In other words, this was a very boring appointment--praise the Lord! 

We've made our next four appointments for ultrasounds and ob checks, and when they gave us the printout of the days and times we're to come, my eyes filled up with tears. We're scheduled all the way through the end of October. The next appointment we'll need to make is to have the cerclage removed, and then I will either have a baby or I'll have a short reprieve from bedrest before this little blessing arrives. It's miraculous that we've made it this far, and yet for the past number of weeks our appointments have been so uneventful it's hard to believe that 13 weeks ago we were in crisis. Here I raise my Ebenezer. We are here by the help of the Lord. Looking at that last appointment date in October, I am overwhelmed by how far we've come. 

And thank you, all. We would not be here without your intercessions or without your practical help.   

So, although I've jokingly said that this was a boring appointment, we did get to see the baby. The ultrasound tech was kind enough to let Caden hear the heartbeat twice (since that's his favorite part), and she also got some really great images for us. I'll leave you with one. Scott thinks it looks like a boy. What do you think?
