So the move went well, we got everything in about two trips. Everything is unpacked and the pictures are hung and it all looks really nice, Caden's room needs the most work still but hey i've got about 3 months left right? My next appt. is on March 11 and then i start going every 2 wekks! yay that means it's getting closer! I am debating on a 3D u/s i want to know what he looks like but at the same time I want it to be a suprise...any advice or regrets on this issue??
March 13
So I went to my last "monthly" appointment on the 11th now I go every two weeks and my nest appointment is on the 25th I think it may begin to go faster now that I go to the doctor more often but who knows I bet the week of my due date is going to drag by me. I got a stretch mark...on my right hip, at first I was kind of mad but then I thought that at least now I could have a memoir of the pregnancy...a battle wound if you will. ha ha Everything has been so easy for me during this pregnancy, all the tests have been passed with flying colors, I didn't get sick, not even ONCE I am starting to think that this is too good to be true and that I am going to have a horrible labor or something. We made an appointment on the 27th to do a 3d ultrasound, I hope it's worth it! i know this is stupid but i am really looking forward to my 30 week mark, I think that at that point I will finally feel like I am towards the end and accomplished something...only two more weeks!!
April 3
So I feel like I am getting huge even though at my last appointment on March 25th I had only gained 13 pounds! They told me at teh 3d u/s (which will be posted here hopefully soon) that he was measuring at 32 weeks instead of 30 weeks, which I was at the time. He also already weighed a little over 4 pounds, so I am going to have a big baby on my hands...great. I had my baby shower on the 29th and it was amazing. I had it at the golf club where Chris is a chef at so he made all the food for us. My favorite were the crab stuffed mushrooms!! He is getting so excited and I am getting so nervous. He sometimes makes me mad with his going out with his friends but it's only like once a week. the thing is it's ALL night. They don't know when to quit and it aggravates me to no end. I should let him enjoy this luxury while he still can I guess. He went out the night before the baby shower, he looks so hungover in the pictures. grrr but this is my only trouble spot with him so I should be grateful. Anyway I am going to go for some Taco Salad now.
April 22,
So yesterday I went to the doctor and did the Strep B test, which is not a big deal if you have it I found out, that you only have to be put on antibiotics if you have it, that's all. So that's a relief, but hopefully the results will come back negative. Anyway, I am getting so anxious, even though I know that I still have like 4 more weeks or so, 4 weeks just seems so short to how long I have been waiting to see my little man. I am starting to feel really pregnant now, like being stiff in the mornings and needing my back to pop in the exact spot that I can't reach to pop...stuff like that. I go back to the doctor on May 6 (2 weeks) and then after that I am going every week, which that hopefully will only be like twice before I have him. I am getting so impatient, but I know that once he is here I will want time to slow down. Chris isn't getting on my nerves as badly either, as far as going out and things. It used to make me so mad and I would feel taken advantage of for being nice and letting him go out only to come home sloppy drunk and I would have to take care of him. He has decided not to drink anymore, I think that decision only came though after I threatened that if he has been drinking when I go into labor that I would take his keys and drive to the hospital without him, and even if he did find a ride up there I would not allow him in the room. I think that thought sobered him up quite nicely and now he realizes how real and how close it is. Could you imagine? Having your partner be tipsy when you are delivering a baby? I wouldn't let him be any part of it. At first he looked shocked, then knew I was right. So i put my foot down ladies!! He knows now that any "partying that he was getting out before that baby came" better have gotten out already b/c those days are over for a while. And I know it sounds harsh but come on my partying days ended almost nine months ago, he has no room to complain. ha ha I am so happy about Caden coming soon. Is anyone effacing yet or begininning to dialate, or is it still way to early??
