38 Week Baby Update

So, I just looked back at the last time I posted and realized it was from September at 28 weeks, that was a while ago!

Anyway, over the last couple months I had been having some pain in my side/back that would come and go and most time Tylenol would take care of it and sometimes I would just have to tough it out for a few hours until it would go away. I had mentioned it several times to my doctor so I was sent to do physical therapy. Well, that seemed to help although the pain returned in the last couples weeks much more intense then ever before. To make a long story short we ended up in the emergency room Thanksgiving night because I was in so much pain. After spending the night there and being X-rayed in the morning it was found I have gall stones. Although I was not thrilled to hear this, atleast we know now the source of the pain. It has been decided that I will have my gull bladder removed after the baby it born. Sounds like the surgery shouldn't be too big of a deal as it is usually done outpatient and all through 4 small incisions in the stomach. So, not exactly ideal but atleast it's nothing more serious and the baby is fine. Now, to the baby.....

Had a doctor's appt yesterday which put me at 38 weeks and everything is looking good and right on track. SO, now it's just a waiting game!

Hopefully the next post will be that BABY is here! :)

38 Weeks!

We made it to 38 weeks, hopefully our baby will be here sooner than later!




Congratulations to our friends Steve & Heidi who were married last Friday night!

6 month belly pic

So, this is an "out of order" post but it's the only picture I have on my computer and I have finally given in to many requests for a belly picture. Enjoy, this might be the only one!

Baby Update

Sorry for the lack of updates........Here's the latest and greatest!
Had a doctor's appointment last Thursday, which put me at almost 28 weeks. Blood pressure is good, belly is measuring a little ahead which was the same as last time so hopefully we will be meeting baby sooner than later but we will see. Baby's heartbeat was 140 and the doc says everything looks great! Which is nice to hear because I'm kind of new at this! :)
Monday I drank the dreaded "orange drink" for the glocose test to check for gestational diabetes and was happy to hear that "everything looked just fine" with by blood work. Thank goodness because at this point in the game I can't give up iceream! :) I was also informed that I will now be going for appointments every 2 weeks which made me realize this baby will be here before we know it! I honestly can't complain at all because with the exception of a few bad back aches I have been feeling great!
Sure seems like fall has set in the past few days which maybe will motivate us to get going on the nursery. I have managed to put together the changing table and rocking chair myself(with minimal help from the hubby only b/c I didn't know where to put the cam screws!?) so that's a start. Now we just need to decide on a paint color and get the nursery painted and assemble the crib and dresser and we should be ready to move in a baby! :)

Ultrasound Update

Wednesday we had our 20 week ultrasound. The tech took many measurements of baby and said everything is right on track and looks great! She got my hopes up by saying she shows a due date of December 16 which is a few days earlier than initial date so that was kind of exciting! And I know everyone is dying to know if we found out, so here it is...........


It's in an envelope and waiting to be opened, date of opening yet to be determined....:)

Other than that things are going really well with us, both staying busy at work and home!

I have another doctor's appt on Monday to go over the ultrasounds results in more depth so stay tuned!
