baby elliott day 4..

[santoki77]

Day 4 is almost done.  elliott is 4 days older than he was when I was first admitted.  finally got an official diagnosis - placental insufficiency with umbilical resistance.  he's not technically IUGR but my next AS is not until next week and at my last AS, he didn't fit the criteria.  so far he's been passing his 3x a day monitoring (which have been around 10 AM, 3 PM and 11 PM).  Because he's so small and moves around a lot, a 20min monitoring turns into 60+ minutes as they need solid HB time.  the good news - he's moving a lot and active.  the bad news - this could change at any time.  had the full dr staff + med student come in today (yeah mondays), going over the case, reminding me to take it one day at a time and every day elliott stays in is a good day.  so here's to the end of day 4 and to many more boring days.  

Ladies, as always, THANK YOU for your T&Ps and comments (also, now that i'm using a laptop to access the board, i get to see all the cool gifs!)

Glad to hear things are still going well. Prayers that Elliott stays put for a while!

Thanks for keeping us updated on Baby Elliot's progress. So happy to hear he's giving the doctors a hard time by being a little wriggly baby. I love that. Keep baking in there Baby Elliot. I hope you are coping with the hospital arrest. It must be hard for you.

hospital arrest hasn't been too bad yet.  i am still trying to finish up status memos for work (i am aiming to finish by tonight but may need to linger into tomorrow) and then i think the boredom will set in.  i got cleared to "go to the gym" so at least I won't be stuck on this floor 24/7. I'm allowed to go to the gym for 1 hour x3 days a week.  i want to set into a routine but there's always that fear that the next monitoring session won't go well and i'll have to deliver thanks again darling!

Oh gosh, that's like in prison when they get their one hour in the yard! If your docs allow it, i would take that opportunity just for a change of scenery.

Cudos to you for still finishing up work stuff. I would've just dumped it on someone else!
When the boredom starts creeping in, holler so we can help you with some ideas to keep you occupied.

Yay for stubborn baby!

Praying for you and LO.

[mrskblack11]

Sending more prayers! Fx that baby Elliot stays cooking!

[ladysif]

Nice job little man, stay the course! And good job mama. While work isn't fun, it seems good that you have that as a distraction and to me, being allowed to use the gym occasionally sounds very positive under the circumstances! FX everything will continue to go well for many, many more days.

Glad to hear he's doing well and giving the drs grief. Hoping he stays put awhile longer and you can keep yourself occupied.

[billyhorrible]

I'm glad things are looking good for now. I know it can change at any moment, but let's celebrate the fact that right now you're still pregnant!
