Abigail and myself have been doing better. We went out to Standley Lake for Labor Day and Shawn and my last holiday without kids!! It was fun but a little too much for me overall. I just do not feel very well and that just makes me not want to socialize. However, it was nice to go out in our beautiful RV and hang with our friends on the lake and by the campfire. The RV makes life so much easier because you can shower, do dishes, and have a fridge!! We went out on Thursday night and it was wonderful for me on Friday because everyone had to go to work so I was all alone. Shrek and I went for a walk by the lake together and we slept soundly until 10am. It was amazing!! We then spent the weekend boating and hanging out and came home on Monday. My dear friend from high school Sarah came out with her daughter Leah and brought Abigail so much cool stuff!! It is so nice to connect with old friends, and it seems like there was never a day where we were not in touch, despite the fact that it has been about 12 years since we last saw each other.
Abigail now has to be monitored three times a week and we also get an ultrasound every week to check the amniotic fluid as well as Abbie's growth. She was a bit behind but has made a miraculous recovery in the past two weeks. She not only has been gaining an absurd amount of weight but her amniotic fluid has increased as well. At 36 weeks she weighed 5lbs, 5 oz, gaining a whopping 7oz and at 37 weeks she gained 9 more ounces and is now 5lbs 14oz. Plus her bones and organs have begun to catch up to where they should be and in three weeks she has gone from being in the 8th percentile to the 29th percentile!! I swear Dr. Austin scared her into staying in my belly for longer when he told her he was going to deliver her early. Now we are considered full-term and at my appointment this week the doctor said she may even come late. What a rollercoaster ride!!
