35 Weeks!!! 35 Days Left!!!

OH BAD BLOGGER!!!! REALLY REALLY BAD BLOGGER!!!

I've been bad at anything that has resulted in blogging, or being on the board.  I am so wrapped up in life right now, that I feel like I have lost track of time. 

So...... quick update on me.

I am doing really good.  I feel good, I am still working, not as much as before. I am down to 30 hours a week, and I am out of the Video Department.  I am a "full time" checker now.  It's been nice to have the extra time off, to be honest.  We have taken this time to get her room ready.  We have her crib, and dresser ready, and all of her clothes ready.  I had my baby shower that was amazing.  My cousin did a wonderful job.  I got an amazing about of pink stuff.... everything is so freaking pink!!!

Quick update on baby....

Baby has a name... but we will just call her C.  She is growing like a weed, and right on track with her due date.  Dr. L thinks that she will be a perfectly healthy baby.  She doesn't think that C will be a big baby.  But she does think that she may be a little bit early.  Me being on my feet and all.  Something about gravity.... I guess we will see.  She can come early if she wants to, I think we are pretty much ready for her. 

We have started birthing classes a couple weeks ago.  Those are fun, lots of information, but definitely fun.  I am learning a bunch, and I think T is taking in as much as he can with out being overwhelmed.  T is starting to get excited I think.  It may be anxious excitement. 

I am 35 weeks and 1 day.  I officially have 4 weeks and 6 days left.  But whose counting right??

27w1d... Where Did The Time Go???

I am going to try to be a better blogger.  I am going to try really hard.  I feel like I have let everyone down that reads this thing.  And the funny part is, I have never met any of you, I think.  So I will try, very hard, to keep writing. 

How far along are you? 27w1d

How big is Baby? 13.6 to 14.8 inches, and 1.5 to 2.2 lbs

 

Fruit Size? Rutabaga

Weight Gain?  I have officially gained 9 pounds as of my last appointment.  Dr. is pretty happy with this!

Gender? Girl!!!
   

Maternity Clothes?  All the time.

Stretch Marks?  Yea, I have a few, on my hips.

Sleep?  Sleep is good, once I get comfy, some nights that doesn't happen.

 

Symptoms?  I don't really have symptoms anymore.  But people definitely know that I am pregnant.  Can't miss the belly.

Movement? Yep, all the time. 

 

Food Cravings?  Still salad, and pretty much anything green.

Labor Signs? none, thankfully.  I have been having some Braxton Hick, but Dr. says this is normal.
   

Belly Button in or out? Still in, but really stretched.

What I miss? I miss not being in pain.  My hips are hurting so bad these days that it hurts to walk. 
   

What I am looking forward to?  My baby shower, which seems like a million years away, but its only next month.  I can't believe its gonna be here so soon.  
   

Best moment of the week? Nothing really, I have three days off this week, so relaxing is nice.  But I have lots to do during those three days. 

 

 

Ugh....

Bad blogger! I know there aren't many out there that read this silly thing, but I feel bad for not updating. 

We are all still alive here. Little girl is kicking up a storm, my pregnancy has been going alright so far.  Just some minor stuff, I have been having problems keeping my blood pressure up, and its been causing some vision problems.  Since Christmas is over now, and hopefully work will slow down, and I'll be able to go to shorter hours. 

I'll update more eventually.  Sooner rather then later!!!

IT'S A......

UGH.... I am a serious slacker this month!! I am just going to do a super quick update!

T and I are doing good.  Baby is doing really well.  We had our Anatomy Scan last week and let me tell you... this is one stubborn kid I am carrying. It took almost the entire appointment for them to get a good gender shot.  But after 35/40 minutes of trying.... we finally found out what we are having. 

We are officially having a girl.

She is stubborn.   She is still very low and when we saw her she was head down.  She refused to open her legs wide enough to get a good look to make sure she was indeed a girl.  As soon as the tech said she was indeed a girl, I started crying.  I honestly think I would have cried if they told me that it was a boy, but I guess we will never know.  All of her measurements were good, she is measuring right on track.  I have an Anterior Placenta which is why I haven't felt much movement. 

We have another appointment Monday, which was just my monthly appointment.  But we are taking this opportunity to ask questions that I should have asked at our appointment.  And honestly, I didn't have any questions then.  But now, I do.  I have a few actually.  And I think T has a couple. 

I'll post some pictures soon.  I am going to try not to be such a lazy slacker and post more. 

19 Weeks and Counting!

Hey all! I haven't been around for a couple weeks.  Trying to get some stuff in order around here. 

I really wish this kid would move.  I am growing impatient and antsy.  My head keeps going to a bad place.  I keep having to remind myself that this baby is healthy and that nothing is going to go wrong.  I have never experienced a loss, but for some reason, loss is always in the back of my mind.  I know the saying "don't borrow trouble" and I am not wanting any trouble at all.  I just want to feel this baby move. 


How far along are you? 19weeks

How big is Baby? 6 inches, .5 lbs

 

Fruit Size? Mango

Weight Gain?  At my last appointment I was up 4lbs.  With all of the food I have been eating lately, that should go up.

Gender?  I think its a girl, I don't know why but I do.  Everyone else says boy, but I rebelling, its a girl.
   

Maternity Clothes?  All the time.

Stretch Marks?  Not that I see.

Sleep?  Still tired. But managing to get some good sleep.

 

Symptoms?  I don't have any really anymore.  I still have sore boobs, and some stretching in my belly.  My biggest symptom I would have to say is my belly.  Someone, a stranger actually,  noticed the other day, I was so excited!

Movement? Still no! This kid is stubborn.

 

Food Cravings?  Peppermint Hot Chocolate, and salad.

Labor Signs? not for a very long time. 
   

Belly Button in or out? In... don't think it will go out.

What I miss? This last weekend I missed drinking.  It was my girlfriends 35th birthday, and I wanted a glass of wine.
   

What I am looking forward to?  Our anatomy scan is next week. I am both anxious and excited!
   

Best moment of the week? My sister and cousin are starting to plan my baby shower.  That is going to be a huge event.   HUGE!!!
