We've had an interesting week so far. On Monday night I started itching all over, from head to toe. I thought it was a little odd but I waited to see if it continued on Tuesday before calling my OB. I talked to the OB nurse on Tuesday and after consulting the doctor they told me to go straight to Labor and Delivery because they were concerned that I might have a problem with my liver especially since I had no evidence of a rash or any other type of raised bumps on my skin, and if that was the case I would have to have an immediate c-section. The condition is called Cholestasis. So the boys and I went and I had a fetal NST (non-stress test) done and blood drawn while the boys ran around the hospital looking at the fish tanks, ponds and eating dinner in the restaurant. Thankfully everything came back normal, and as usual I appear to be a medical anomaly.
I forgot to give an update on Connor after we had our ultrasound last week. He is measuring fine for weight, about 5.1 lbs at the time and should be about 7.5 lbs when he is born. He is right in the 50th percentile. And he has a lot of hair! I have a feeling he is going to have dark hair and dark skin like his Daddy! It was funny to see his hair waving back and forth on the screen and the ultrasound tech gave us a good picture of his waving hair to keep.
