29 Wks

Well I am now 29 weeks pregnant. Still feeling good, except for the occasional heartburn. I had my gestational diabetes test this past week and the results were normal, so I can continue to eat all of my sweet snacks that I like.
I start my appts at the Dr. every 2 weeks at this point. I actually have an appt this week for a sonogram and then next week just for a normal appt to chk bp,weight and all of that stuff. Not sure why they aren't doing it all at once except for the fact that my sono appt is with the actual sono tech and my other appt is with Dr. Harrington. I can't believe we only have a little more than 10wks until my due date. So if this baby decides to come early we have even less time than that. I can't believe how fast this is going.
Next weekend is my baby shower and I am so excited to see everyone.
Ok, well I will keep you updated with all of my appts and stuff. If my computer would cooperate I will get some more pics downloaded as well.

27-28wks

I am almost 28wks pregnant now. I can't believe we have less than 3 months until we meet our sweet little bundle of joy. 12wks to be exact, it sounds so close when you say it in weeks.

I am still feeling great. I am having some trouble sleeping because I have to change positions so often because my hips get numb and my legs cramp up. I do take plenty of naps though to catch up on my sleep, I don't know what I would do without naps.

I have my 28wk appt on Tuesday the 27th of October. At this appt they will do my glucose test, which tests for gestational diabetes. They have you dring a really sugary drink and then wait for an hour and take blood to make sure both myself and the baby are processing sugar normally. I will keep you all updated after that appt. Until then I have nothing else exciting going on in the world of my pregnancy.

26 Weeks

Ok, I am now 26 weeks pregnant. I finally feel like I am starting to get a little bigger. I think you can actually tell I am pregnant now and not just a little pudgy. Of course I have thought I looked pregnant for a long time now, but obviously I have seen all the little changes as I go that not everyone else notices. I will definitely try to get some more pictures posted soon. I haven't had anyone around to take pics since Shane is busy with the house and I am usually in bed when he gets done working.
I picked a pediatrician yesterday. I went and talked to with two different pediatricians. Dr. Lapke and Dr. Pedrosa. Dr. Pedrosa is the winner. There wasn't much difference between the two dr's themselves just got a better vibe from Dr. Pedrosa. Also her office was alot bigger and nicer and had a well waiting area and a sick waiting area that were completely seperated. I wasn't really that thrilled with the area that Dr. Lapke's office was located either and the parking was horrible. The most important thing though was Dr. Lapke did not have Fri afternoon office hours and Dr. Pedrosa did. When I go back to work that will be very important as I will have no time left to take off for Dr's appts. So anyway, one more thing off my checklist of things that need to get done before the baby gets here. Not too much longer and I will be in the nesting stage. I am starting to get a little bit of it already, feeling the need to organize closets and such. I think once the baby's room is done I will be in full on nesting mode and will be cleaning and organizing like a crazy person. I probably would already be doing all of that stuff if I had a room to clean and organize. I am hoping that after my shower next month I will be able to start putting everything in the room, but it might be close we'll have to see.
Ok, well I think that is all the excitement that is going on for right now. Talk to you all soon.

25 weeks

It is now October so we officially have 3 1/2 months until the baby gets here. It just seems to go quicker and quicker. I fear with the holidays right around the corner it's going to go faster than I would like. I am sure we will get everything done that needs to get done though. Shane is working hard on the house and assures me it will be done in plenty of time. What a great husband I have.
So Shane finally got to feel the baby move, with all of his hard work he is never just sitting and relaxing with me, which is when the baby moves the most. Finally Monday he stopped working early and sat with me to watch a little t.v. so he got to feel it move for the first time. Alexa actually got to feel it too. On Saturday when she was over here I was sitting relaxing and the baby was moving quite a bit so I put her hand on my belly and she actually got to feel it a couple of times. She was so excited that she went running downstairs to tell Shane. I am thrilled that she is so excited.
Well nothing else to report, everything is going well. I feel great and the baby moves around more everyday. I will try to get some more pictures and get them posted since I think I grow on a weekly basis at this point.
