BABY #3

I went to the doctor last week for my 32 week appointment to find out I am not gaining as much as I should be and the baby isn't either. The baby only gained an ounce in 2 weeks and should have gained near a pound. The doctor has been paying close attention to this baby, because of my pregnancy with Sawyer. They took Sawyer early because he wasn't growing and we spent some time in the NICU. If the baby doesn't start gaining weight by my next appointment then I will be headed to a specialist that will decide a date to induce me as early as 34 weeks. I have upped my food intake along with my protein. It has been a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, but I'm doing my best. I don't want to live through what I had to live through with Sawyer again. Ben gave me a blessing after the doctors appointment and I have been feeling like everything is going to be okay. I know my Heavenly Father loves me and is watching over me and my family. He will only give me what I can handle.
