We went to the doctor last Thursday afternoon. Sorry it's taken me so long to update! Everything was great. Jack's heartbeat was strong and steady. My blood pressure was great. They checked my iron levels again to see if my iron supplement is working. The past 3 times they have checked it, the level has gone down even though I've been taking this supplement for months. I guess Jack is taking all of my iron. We should have those results tomorrow. I just need to remember to call to check because it seems like they never remember to call me.
I have a workshop this week (Mon-Wed) that is required, so I asked the dr if I could go. He told me that he didn't really have a reason to tell me not to go, but if my water breaks, it's not his fault. :-) We really have no way to know if I will try to go into pre-term labor again, so he wants me to continue modified bed rest until Aug 17. That is the first day back to school for teachers. I asked him about starting school, and he told me that by that point (I'll be 36 weeks on the 18th), he won't care if I go into labor. So I get to go back to school when I'm scheduled. Luckily I have an awesome team that is willing to set up my classroom for me, so I don't have that pressure. I'm just so happy that I won't have to waste my maternity leave on bed rest. I was really worried that I would have to take time off before he was born then have to go back to work sooner than I wanted.
We go back to the dr next Thursday afternoon, then after that we go every week! I can't believe we have made it this far. I am so very thankful each and every day.
