:o) It's a Boy! His name is Peyton.

04/29/2008 - I had my glucose tolerance test today. The drink wasn't as bad as everyone insisted. It tasted like a really REALLY sweet orange soda. It made me really dizzy and shakey though. Since I have a doppler at home, i don't get anxtious about listening to the heartbeat at the visits b/c I listen to it about 3 times a day anyways lol. He was being too funny though. She said it would probably be difficult to get him to stay still long enough to listen to it because of all of the sugar i drank and what do you know! She counted to 3 before he started doing somersaults.

05/01/2008 - So my 4D ultrasound is scheduled for May 22 at 11am. We are EXTREMELY excited and anxtious. I'm starting to believe i'm growing an Acrobat inside of me. He discovered my ribs and LOVES them!

05/03/2008 - I had my first baby shower today. It was the best. I got everything i wanted/needed. I got his carseat, stroller, bouncer, jumparoo, swing, about 40 outfits, a BUNCH of receiving blankets, all of the bathing necessities, and his bath-tub. My second shower is on June 7 and i hope I get my pack-n-play and breast pump.

05/27/2008 - Yesterday was a bad day. I started having low back pain around 2:30 and it usualy goes away within an hour, but when 5:30 came around it just kept getting worse. I called the hospital and spoke to a nurse who told me to come in right away. The hospital i'm delivering at is a Regency which only delivers babies. It's an OB hospital, so i trust their words. I went in, and when she hooked me up i was having contractions every 7-9 minutes. I couldnt feel them in the front, just in my back. Peyton's heart rate would go up everytime i had one so thats good news. Atleast we know he'll tolerate real labor. She started an IV and gave me 2 bags of saline b/c I was extremely dehydrated. They also gave me a shot of Trubuteline which stopped my contractions. They did a cath to get urine which came back negative for UTI. She also checked my cervix which was still closed and not thinning. The doctor told me that hubby is cut off from intercourse for atleast the next 5 weeks. They suspect that is what caused my contractions. They discharged me around 10:00 and told me to drink drink drink! I'm so glad everything is okay today. My last day of work is July 15 so that is getting pretty exciting too!

07/17/08 - So tomorrow is my original due date (according to my LMP), but due to babies size at 8 weeks, they moved it to the 26th. I've been out of work for a week now and i'm getting extremely irritable and bored. My Mom and I are going to pamper ourselves tomorrow with a mani/pedi and facial. I really hope this child decides to come soon. I had a u/s on Tuesday which estimated his weight at 7 lbs 11 oz...they say to give or take a pound. I have another U/S on monday to check his weight again and the amount of Amniotic Fluid. GOSH I DONT FEEL LIKE I'LL EVER GO INTO LABOR!!!! Hubby wont do the baby dance b/c he's "scared". He said if the DR can feel his head with her fingers then Peyton surely can feel his peepee....which is NOT true lol. I guess i'll just keep walking and trying pressure points.
