primary infertility second time around skip to main skip to sidebar primary infertility second time around thursday december 16 2010 my boys my boys well not santa he s not mine evan was 16 weeks in this picture posted by jules a k a julie at 2 27 pm 1 comment friday december 3 2010 a bunch of firsts sorry for not posting sooner i ve been reading but haven t had much time for posting between work family and laundry how can one baby make sooo much extra laundry evan is 4 months old now he s rolling over back to front and occasionally front to back he s playing and generally keeping us entertained yesterday was our 4 month dr appt evan weighed 14lbs 10 oz 50th percent and is 26 5 inches long 75th percent his head circumference lags a bit 10th percent but the dr isn t concerned as he s got a little flat spot on the back of his head from sleeping on his back he s got a sort of continually eye infection in the left eye we are on our second eye drops hopefully the tear duct will clear up or we will be looking at surgery on it a few months down the road we got the green light to start rice cereal i apparently was more excited about that than evanwas he took the spoon just fine but wasn t sure about the cereal the dr said to start fruits and veggies this next week hopefully he will be happier with solids once they have a bit more flavor yesterday was a big day not only did evan try his first solids but my 7 year old lost his first tooth the tooth had been loose for weeks but my son hadn t been working it much last night however the last root gave up and out came the tooth first solids and first tooth december 2 2010 was a big day posted by jules a k a julie at 12 03 pm 2 comments friday september 10 2010 better late than never right i can t believe it has been six weeks since evan was born i have tried to find time to log in to blogger since his birth but it has been crazy technically i have been off work but that hasn t really happened between the phone calls emails and projects ick any free time has been consumed by work which truly sucks i started a post on august 20 but never got to finish it i ll post the full birth story later but evan was born at 5 07 pm on friday july 30 pictocin was started at 5 30 am that morning and i began pushing around 3 30 pm two long hours later he arrived weighing 6 lbs 5 oz and measuring 19 inches long presently i think he is around 8 lbs 2 oz breastfeeding hasn t gone well but that s another long story so we are breastfeeding and supplementing with formula via a bottle if anyone can use similac coupons shoot me an email i have lots birth pictures of evan are above from the hospital he s one day old in these pics he looks like my dh all in all we are doing ok i survived my mother in law s visit and the visit of some of my dh s friends from out of state posted by jules a k a julie at 9 51 am 6 comments thursday july 22 2010 induction scheduled so at 37 weeks 6 days i m 100 effaced but still just 1 cm dilated if baby boy doesn t make his appearance before next friday july 30 we are to go to the hospital at 4 am to start inducing the birth let the countdown begin posted by jules a k a julie at 8 59 am 5 comments thursday july 15 2010 37 weeks tomorrow 37 weeks tomorrow i can t believe we are getting so close still seems surreal as of today i m 80 effaced but still only 1 cm dilated in the last week effacement progressed 30 if it continues at a similar rate i suppose baby could arrive by the end of next week one can t help but dilate once effaced at 100 right ob will discuss induction at my appt next wed because of my underlying high bp she s looking at july 30 or at 39 weeks i m not sure we will make it that far but who knows i can feel the baby moving really low and sort of painfully now feels like he s right on top of my cervix we got a really creepy u s pic of his face today if the pic is accurate his nose and mouth are grotesquely deformed i m hoping he s perfect posted by jules a k a julie at 3 31 pm 1 comment friday july 9 2010 36 weeks the internal exam yesterday showed i am 1 cm dilated and 50 effaced the ob seemed surprised at how low the baby s head is but didn t tell me the station she said i could deliver at any time or go for a couple of weeks she didn t seem concerned that if i had the baby in the next week i would only be 36 weeks and didn t tell me to rest or take it easy much more spotting after yesterday s internal than last week s with the same continuing today i m attributing that to the fact that my cervix is apparently much softer than it was last week overall the cervical progress i think is good news my ob expressed a little concern because my bp was slightly elevated yesterday at 140 80 ha i can tell her exactly why the whole dispute with the peri and the ob over proper monitoring protocols based on my situation i am more and more convinced that this is a personality conflict ego war between the peri and the ob i told the ob that the peri has a different opinion as to performing the biophysical profiles and non stress test than the ob does the smirk on her face at that point coupled with her question oh yeah what did she say gave it all away it was a priceless expression and i felt as if i were a high school student engaging in the latest gossip the problem with that is that this is about me having a baby not about the ob s and peri s egos and gossip regarding the other i feel stuck in the middle of the two of them i learned from the very kind nurse at the peri s office that the ob did her residency under the peri and i wonder how much of this has to do with that former relationship the bottom line is if i have sonos non stress tests with the peri on mondays the ob won t do any monitoring the peri conceded to seeing me once a week with the understanding the ob would monitor on thursdays when i see her which isn t the case if i decide to skip the peri altogether the ob will do sonos but not non stress tests so i have three options 1 see the peri for sonos non stress tests on mondays and have internals with the ob on thursdays 2 go back to seeing the peri for sonos non stress tests two times a week and see ob for internals or 3 skip the peri altogether and just see the ob who will do internals sonos but no non stress tests right now i m scheduled with appointments for option 1 not sure what i should do it is difficult to make a decision when the two drs express such varied opinions on the proper protocol for now i tend to be sticking my head in the sand and just hoping the baby comes soon so that decision is over otherwise i m just hoping whatever decision i make doesn t lead to regret later i know the decision the ob wants me to make is to skip the peri altogether yesterday she talked about how her office s equipment is just as good as the peri s i wanted to scream that this isn t about how good the relative equipment is but rather about me successfully giving birth to a live living breathing baby grrrr posted by jules a k a julie at 12 12 pm 2 comments friday july 2 2010 35 weeks i m 35 weeks today biophysical profile and non stress test continue to be fine i ve had some mild low cramping off and on not sure if these cramps are bh or not and i have a strange vibrating feeling around my cervix several times a day for the past few days not sure what that is either internal at ob yesterday showed 5 cm dilation and softening cervix some spotting afterwards and continuing today but ob says is to be expected the baby is estimated to weigh 5 lbs 5 oz at this point unwanted drama with the ob because she doesn t want me to continue to see the peri on the basis that i am not really high risk simply because of my advanced maternal age and pre pg chronic high bp she doesn t think the monitoring the peri is doing is necessary i tried to explain although i don t think i was very articulate that my anxiety is a function of residual if fears the fact that it has taken 12 years to get to this point my age 40 two months from tomorrow and that the additional monitoring is reassuring for me mentally she said if i continue to see the peri she doesn t know what i need her for ummm to deliver the baby she additionally said i need to have a life and going to the dr 2x per week isn t conducive with a life i tried to explain that right now having a successful pregnancy is my life ugh i went to my peri appt this morning and talked to the peri i ended up crying stupid hormones the peri was adamant that the monitoring in my circumstances is standard medical protocol but has agreed to see me once a week instead of 2x i m happy with the compromise but doubt the ob will be if i weren t so close to the end of the pg i think i would switch obs i like her but i feel she doesn t understand my needs or what pg after if is like while i know it is unlikely for anything to go wrong at this point it does happen and for those it affects it is certainly devastating if additional monitoring could prevent such a loss then i want the additional monitoring hopefully she will take the news that i am still seeing the peri at my appt next week ok i mean i have enough on my plate to worry about whether the ob is pissed at me for trying to do what i believe is right for me posted by jules a k a julie at 10 01 am 5 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom blog
