29 weeks, 6 days!!! My contractions have really lightened up over the last day and a half! That is definitely a good sign :)
Unfortunately, I've been having some higher blood sugars than they'd like. They said I'm starting to "trend" upward. If it continues, then they will start having me take some sort of glucose tablets before bed. I was relieved to hear that, as I thought the only way to treat was with insulin shots. You'd think with as many shots and blood draws as I've had in the last ~6 weeks, it would be no big deal, but this momma just doesn't get like needles!
Bennett had a great strip this morning. It was still on the lower side (which doesn't bother my docs at all), but he had some GREAT accelerations and very few decels lower than 120 :) Atta boy!
Coming up on the agenda is a biophysical profile tomorrow morning, a second round of betamethosone shots this weekend (steroids to help the baby's lungs mature faster), and another biophysical and growth ultrasound on Monday.
Of course, tomorrow is a BIG milestone, as I will be 30 weeks!!! I live for Thursdays :) It marks a new gestational week and there is good television at night. Yeah, its the little things... I got permission to take a shower today since my contractions have been so mild. So a hint - if you want to visit me, I smell best on Wednesdays and Saturdays because those are the days I'm allowed to take a shower so long as something isn't acting up.

I'm so happy for you! What a great milestone! I think of you every time I "turn over" a week (I'll think, I'm 38 weeks! That means Chantelle is 30 weeks!)
Enjoy your shower!
