♥ 31 weeks 4 days ♥

About 4 pounds and 14.5" long, yep it is going to be a big baby, says the dr. I had a doctor appointment today, and everything went well. Dr. Sam says IF I go full term, which she hopes but doubts, the baby will be approx 7-8 pounds and about 20-21" long. Pabbam is still butt first. But she told me she isn't to concerned because the baby still have about another 2" of moving room to turn by itself before 35 weeks. If the baby is still booty first the last week in July she will have me make an appointment for a turning session for the first week in August. Other than that, heart rate was 150, so about 6 beats faster than the past 30 weeks, but the baby was very very active. It was kind of neat, we could see the entire elbow print in my stomach, right by my rib cage. It hurts badly when he/she does puts his/her arms there, but it is just trying to get comfortable. Well Nick had drill this past weekend. They told him his ait drill will be from July 26-August 14 (my birthday :-)... ) so I sure hope Pabbam waits until after the 15 to arrive. Nick is working 5, 10 hour days again, and every Saturday. This weekend is the 4th of July, so Sunday we plan to watch fireworks and then on Monday, which we both have off, we are going to get maternity pictures/anniversary picturs done. I'm excited for those. 12 days until the baby shower, July 10. My mom is hosting :) I can't wait. Everything is getting so close and Nick and I are so ready. I'm only going to update the blog every dr apt. So next entry will be July 14, it shall be interesting, a lot will be going on between now and then. Until then, have a great 4th and the next few weeks! ♥

28 weeks 4 days ♥

7 months ♥ Where has the time gone? I know I didn't update the blog last week, but it was because I knew I had a doctor appointment today and thought I'd kill 1 bird with 2 stones :) Well since Thursday, so my 7 month mark, (June 10) I have had contractions. The first couple times I ignored the pains, didn't think to much of them. But after having 5 pains, the same kind of pains, in 1 day I thought I'd better check into it. BUT I did it on my own, I didn't call the Dr or go in. Ooops my bad. So by Friday afternoon the pains were coming more frequent, so I broke down and call the Dr. They told me as long as I wasn't having 3-4 pains in 1 hour and I was bleeding or discharge and I could still walk then I would be okay. But if these symptoms got worse I better get checked out. These pains, lower back pain, nausea feeling, cramping, leg cramps, pains to go number 2 but couldn't and feeling that I needed to be bent over (at my stomach to ease the pain), continued and are still continuing today. So anyways, the doctor checked me all out today. Said I'm not dilated, which is great, but she can feel a leg which is not that great. So she wants me to do squats daily, 2 to 3 times a day, sets of 6, to help position the baby for a bit longer and to help when I deliever. I see the Dr every two weeks now, and she said by the middle of July, which my apt in July is the 14, there on out I'll be every week if this continues. This has really got me nervous. She made the comment to make sure to have everything ready, car seat, baby crib, extra clothes, a bag for the hospital, etc so when the time comes I'm/we are ready. But other than all this, nothing is new. I'm a little overwhelmed as so is Nick. I know everything will be just fine, but can't believe how fast this is all coming. Feels like just yesterday we were finding out. But until next week, have a great week and weekend!! ♥

27 weeks 1 day

I love my life ♥ Getting bigger and bigger. I officially can not see my feet and every time I bend over I feel like I wet my pant. Haha! Baby is moving more and more. I believe I felt something like a hiccup yesterday, June 3, but I'm not for sure if that was what that was that I was feeling. I'm back to running patients and I can feel it. I enjoy running patients as long as I have help so I'm not over doing it. Still no wild cravings, I wish I could just have one crazy craving, but I suppose I'll just sit and wait and see. Nick is enjoying his new job so much. I can't believe how much money we are saving on gas, love it! And I love having a happy and enjoyable husband rather than a grumpy one. :) Tomorrow, June 4, my brother Steve and his wife Roslyn and little girl Kaydence will be coming to my parents for the evening. It's been a few months since we've seen them so I can't wait. Hopefully one weekend here soon we will be able to see Nick's sister and her daughter Mackenzie :) But as far as the pregnancy, everything is going great. Couldn't ask for anything more :) Until next week, have a great weekend and week!! ♥
