Last week my mom was out because she brought kids down for convention. She also had Melinda and Andrew with her. They got here Friday afternoon and left this morning. Last week was busy but it was great to have her out again, even if things didn't quite work out as we had planned.
Mom ended up staying with Tim and Pam most of the week last week due to Pam having some major complications with her pregnancy which eventually landed her in the hospital. Thankfully baby is still doing well, and Pam is recovering, waiting to go home.
We still made it Simon's birthday party on Wednesday morning and she was here Thursday night with the kids while I went to my ultrasound. That was interesting as Peter couldn't make it for the first time, I think, other than when Rebecca was here for my last one with Lucas. A little disappointed, but what can you do? This was the earliest ultrasound I have ever had, due to me measuring 2 weeks ahead, but after the ultrasound, it's really 5 weeks ahead, so they checked for twins. No, no twins in our immediate future, but I'm still curious why I'm measuring so big. With all my other pgs I was right on target... Oh well...
We also spent all day Saturday together in Kalamazoo, visiting some friends and checking out the Airzoo. We did not make it all the way through the airzoo, but it was still a lot of fun for the kids, they're still talking about the cool rides they went on.
Yesterday was church and we had a visitation to go to for a man that Peter has known for years. He was diagnosed with lung cancer last fall/ winter, got that taken care of then 3 weeks or so ago, they found a tumor on his pancreas. It was so fast growing that it grew 5cm in a matter of 5-6 days. Last week Tuesday they put him in the Holland hospice house and he died 2 days after being transferred there. Very tough to comprehend how something can just take over your body that quickly. We have the funeral service tonight.
That was a run down of my week. This week doesn't look to be too busy but we are getting out puppy for keeps on Wednesday, so that will add a little busyness to our home. The boys are so excited!

Ugh, measuring big is a huge pain! Get used to it though..as many PG's as I've had I have measured big ever since our twins. Thanks to them (and twin skin..well that has nothing to do with measuring big in the uterus but I still can't fit in half my clothes! lol) I have never measured right again. LOL! Lydia I was 3-4 wks bigger at 8wks and they thought it may be twins again...but just one babe in there. I was told that each PG you may measure a week or two bigger...every time! (so that will add up)--odd that they couldn't see any other reason on your u/s though. That is a lot of weeks bigger to be measuring! One thing my DR told me though (not sure how accurate it is but this is what he said with Lydia) is that when they take those measurements they are truly very inaccurate measurements until you are about 20 wks PG. They wouldn't even tell me how many weeks bigger they thought I was until I pried it out of him because I knew he was ordering the u/s because I was bigger than I should be..and he said that he could be off on measuring as well. That every time you can get bigger quicker and it's normal to measure bigger each time. And then he told me that those measurements can be way off...sometimes even on u/s. Was the u/s measurement of your uterus off as well (according to how many weeks you are) or maybe you are too far along to tell by u/s how big the uterus is.. I'm used to very early u/s where they can tell easier :) Glad the baby is looking good! :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't know what my uterus was measuring on the ultrasound... she didn't say, but I'll for sure ask the Dr at my next appointment. Baby was measuring 3 weeks behind my LMP dates, so I'm glad I have a "better" due date. I have only measured big with Caleb at the very end, but he was 9lb13oz and 23", so there was a reason for that. The other ones were all right on, so it's still strange to be, but whatever, as long as baby is doing good, right? :) However, I was a little bummed it's not twins... I've that the twin "feeling" since I took the test.
