Our first parent/teacher conference

I seriously hate blogging. I typed a huge thing and of course, it zapped. WTF???

Here is the short of it. We met with Ms. Karen last evening. She said Sophia is doing wonderful. She is a very "bright little girl". She was super impressed by her letters, shapes, colors and words. She said she does very well. She is a bit backwards socially but they are working on it. She is very shy. I told her you should see her at home... she is far from shy. I was shy too when I was little so she gets it honestly.

As far as the pregnancy goes, I am feeling good. Pregnancy wise, great. I have another freaking sinus infection and my head is killing me. I have been taking alot of tylenol which I don't want to do but have no other choice. If I don't take it, I can't function. When I do take it, it dulls the pain enough to work. I have a dr. appointment with Fetchero on Thursday so hopefully they will give me something. I talked to Clark's office and they said most antibiotics are safe. We will see

My Appointment at Magee

Since I had pre-term labor with Sophie, Dr. Clark wanted me to go see a specialist at the Maternal-Fetal Medicine High Risk Pregnancy Group in Pittsburgh. I took the day off yesterday and Chad went with me. We dropped Sophie at school, went to breaksfast and headed down for my 11:00 appointment. That place is amazing. There are so many specialists in that department. The doctor couldn't of been nicer. We explained that my level of stress when I was pregnant with Sophia was so high. He asked us a million questions and when all was said and done, he said he didn't want to do anything about it. He feels since I had pre-term contractions but didn't deliver pre-term that my body will know exactly what to do with this one. Wherein, most people who actually dialate and deliver early, their chance eis 30% of it happening again, with me, my chance is 5%.

I was pretty happy with that. He also said that in 24 weeks, he wants me to have another internal ultrasound to check the length of my cervix. If the problem is actually with my cervix (because of the conization I had done 10 years ago), then we will have to discuss some medication options. Probably the same meds I was on with Sophie (procardia). If my cervix seems fine, he feels I should carry to term with no problem.

On another note. I had my second appointment on Wednesday with Dr. P. We opted out of the downs testing. I didn't gain any weight this month. She gave me my slip to schedule my ultrasound for after December 13th... YEAH
