Baby Jace update

Today we had a dr's appt in tulsa with the specialist.......I really like him and he is funny to boot.......On the drive there we had a horrible thunderstorm.......to the point I slowed way down on my driving as I couldn't see 20 ft in front of me........Alyssa said that there was one clap of thunder that scared the bejezus out of her.........So it was probably lightening striking somewhere close..........anyways back to my dr's appt.........I got there on time (pat myself on the back, lol) and no one was there.......I called the office, no one answered......UGH......I live approx 45 mins from his office and I was about to loose it.....Kent being the level calm head man he is, he says call him on his cell phone which of course I do not have in my cell phone but I do have it in my van........So back down to the van we go........I called the 3 numbers that I have, his cell being last........He was in the office, had just gotten there......But Lori who is the nurse was out sick......He said she has been out the last 2 days for the first time in 7 yrs...........He is completely lost without her.....So we have another u/s (we will have these everytime I go in) and Jace is practicing his breathing......that is so cool to see......then he measures his head.........HOLY COW this kid has a big head......I'm 32 wks and he is measure at 36wks (just his head though), his belly is measuring at 31wks......but overall it averages out to be 4lbs 2oz.........He is still on target for his gestional age......Um thats a scary thought thou.........to me anyways........It tells me that he is going to be between 9 and 10lbs........who knows we will see.........I also talked to him about weither he delivered at another hospital.......He says no not yet but I am working on going to southcrest.......Southcrest is where I really want to deliver.......I delivered Austin there.......the experiance was totally awesome, not saying there is anything wrong with St. John's........Just want to go where I already know..........Austin spent 3 1/2 days in the NICU with blood sugar issues and we have already been forwarned to expect Jace to go to the NICU as well because of blood sugar issues..........But the awesome thing is that the neonatologist that took care of Austin is also over the NICU at St. John's too...........It was like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders when I heard that........Just to know that someone who actually takes the time to care about his patients as well as his patients parents was going to oversee my son's care.........My whole mood and demenor has changed to say the least........I am really getting excited for this baby to come now.........Things are falling into place and each and every appt seems to bring even better news.........

He stopped my insulin today because I went from having issues with high blood sugars to really low bs where I couldn't take it.......it was running in the 90's all the time.........If it gets to low baby will have issues.........So we don't want it that low..........And the only reason why they put me on insulin to begin with is because they were not happy with my fasting blood sugars in the hospital when I had pneumonia.........But I do have a prn order if it gets above 200, I am to take the novalog and call him........So far so good.........He left me on the metformin........I had been taking it since March of last year when I was diagnosed with diabeties.........I had managed to get my A1C down to 6.3 from 10.8.......Normal is anything 6.0 and under..........and that was just by watching what I ate and taking the metformin...........He realized that and wanted to keep it the way it was..........LOL..........the new bp meds are working........My bp was down to 136/82 since starting it.........We had left the procardia alone because he had said we were just going to add it........he is liking the improvement as well as I am.........However one of the side effects of Aldomet is that it works like a water pill so in a way it is good and in a way it can be bad......I've started having contrax again.........He said to increase fluids (I always have water beside me) then he told me that because of my kidneys working over time it could be a lack of salt but I could not drink gatorade (I dont' like it anyways) but I needed to add salt to my food......I don't normally do that but can and will.........We will see...........all I know is my mouth feels like I have cotton mouth all the time and after 3 babies who I have went in to early labor with dehydration it made a whole lot of since.........and ya know, I should have expected it, it always happens around this time and always thinking I am drinking plenty of water..........LOL......So now my goal is to add another 20oz of water a day.........I'm going to be floating on a river I swear..........Now if only we could get the insomina under control and the heartburn........
