Well as most of you already know, Angie is on bedrest for preterm labor. It has lightened up a bit in the past 2 days and hopefully by next week there will be less contractions. In the meantime, Angie has doctors appointments almost every 4 days or so to check on things (ultrasounds, cervix checks, growth updates, cerebral blood flow monitoring).
We went today and had a quick ultrasound to check things over and also to look at MCA flow. The middle cerebral artery flow correlates with the amount of anemia the baby has so they are doing this as a substitute for what they used to have to do (amniocentesis or chorionic villous sampling).
Here is a photo of what they are looking at:
Everything looked fine, growth is spot on for dates (meaning that the expected growth and development at this time matches how far along she is), and there appears to be no anemia by MCA blood flow. We will have this reevaluated in 2 weeks again in case this is the reason for the preterm labor. The blood titers are still negative.
Also went and looked at the house today, been raining here alot so doesn't appear much has been done other than a floor has been put on. The Deusters have also moved to a different location, we didn't go check it out today because someone was there at the house.
A floor has been placed.
Where the air conditioners will sit.
