Haven't been on in awhile - so I thought I would udpate.
Went in this past Monday to the MFM for ultra sound to see if Baby Julia had done any growing...well, little girl sure did surprise everyone! Grew 4+ ounces in 11 days. She's over a pound now (thank goodness) and was really putting on a show. We watched her suck, swallow, suck her thumb, kick and roll around. Very active. They also had me do 40 minutes monitoring (nst) that day, she did great!
Went back today (I am there now every Monday and Thursday) had my 40 minutes of monitoring (nst) she did great and then had my Ultra sound to measure the fluid and my cord dopplers (they weren't great on Monday - and come to find out they only got one artery mesured Monday). Well, baby girl was playing with her cord on Monday so they had to be a bit more patient today in order to get them. They were able to measure both of the arteries in the cord today - one is "great" and one is "ok" ... but doctor was happy that at least one was great. I asked him if he thinks I can get to 28 weeks...he said, yes, maybe further...FINGERS CROSSED. I am 26 weeks this Saturday - come on 28. Come on Baby Julia...grow grow grow!
I have been resting on my left side a lot and catching up on my movie watching and my sleep. Done some light exercise daily to keep that blood moving...and eating good. Praying for the best!

Thanks ladies for all your support.
I am head on into week 26 (one that I had been dreading remembering Annabelle). I am feeling pretty good though. BP has been great, no swelling, been resting and eating healthy. Baby girl has been a bit quiet this weekend, moved some, not a ton...hope that's ok. I have been moving a bit more than usual as well this weekend - it's different when the family is at home, can't just watch lifetime all day!
This week brings
Monday and Thursday at the MFM for 30 minutes NST monitoring and then sono's for cord dopplers - she did great last week, Doc didn't see any reason she wouldn't this week..so fingers crossed!
Wednesday - blood doctor to check on lovenox levels, liver levels etc.
Hoping these next to weeks fly by to the 28 week goal! Then, I'll set another goal - it's been easier for me to set these milestones throughout the pregnancy, gives me something to look forward to!
Hope you all are well, thank you for the prayers and well wishes! Julia and I need them and appreciate them.

It's extra hard to be in those weeks when things awry last time. I also set mini goals with my pregnancy after our daughter passed away- it made the whole pregnancy seem more manageable. And for what it's worth I found that all my kiddos were quieter on days I was moving around more.
I'm keeping crossables crossed that week 26 is a peaceful one for you and that soon you are celebrating being the most pregnant ever!
