it is february 18th and i am 23 weeks pregnant. my little boy seems to love living on my bladder and i am trying to prep my 3 year old who was recently in an accident and is still recovering for the idea his brother will be here this summer. We are going to name our little boy Lucas Karl

February 25th/ week 24:

Baby still loves to live on my bladder and i am now feeling like i am 34 weeks pregnant not just 24. I feel like its harder to move/get around in this pregnancy. The baby is doing good at the last ultrasound he weighed a pound. We have had alot of appointments and schedualing with my 3 year old son. He is 1 month post op of his accident. and making strives but we are hoping they will be even better before the baby gets here. Heartburn and shortness of breath are getting worse. We still need to get so much stuff for the baby and i dont even know when that is going to be. Until next time. ~J

March 18th/week 27:

I did my glucose test yesterday. still dont have the results yet. My doctor is now going to move me to appointments every 2 weeks instead of 4. She had a hard time getting the baby to stay still to hear his heartbeat as it has been every appointment. Guess he is a acrobat in there. I have an ultrasound next week i am looking forward to because i feel its my way to see the face of the precious boy in me who kicks everyday. I have been bugged by my siatic (spelling) nerve where i have to stop moving because it hurts. I have more shortness of breathe when i am active. And more swelling after i have been walking around. Im ready for the 1 week appointments not the 2 week ones.

Week 28: I really wish i was feeling better having my wisdom teeth pulled has made the baby kick more maybe because of the lack of food intake i have had the past few days. I also have been naucious which is kinda a first since my morning sickness in the beginning wasnt bad at all. The baby's ultrasound however was wonderful. The ultrasound tech said he looked hreat and i have a 3d pic of him up now. However he was trying to sleep so we only have a side view. The tech also said she could see hair on his head which excites me. ANd his weight was estimated at 2lbs 9 ozs. So sounds like my little Lucas is doing good. Cant believe i have to wait 11 more weeks till i can see him again and actually have him in my arms. Maybe time will pass by quick enough that i dont go crazy.

Almost 32 weeks: Sheesh i wish it would hurry up and get here. IM so irritable and have cramps and a very hard time getting around. Never this much trouble with my first pregnancy. I will be so glad to hold my baby rather than sitting my arms on my huge belly. My doc says im most likely going to have the baby a week or so early beacuse of his 2 vessel cord. I had to do the same with my 1st child and he turned out just fine being born at 38 weeks pregnant. He was 6lbs 1 ozs and very healthy and always has been. I sometimes wonder if god was to be pregnant would he want to carry a baby for 40 weeks or would he change it to say 38? Just thinking. Ultrasound next week, i really love having those, its the only thing that keeps me sane while pregnant is seeing my baby on the screen that causes the discompfort i have daily. Love u little baby!!

33 weeks: So from my ultrasound they say my baby is 4 lbs 1 oz and i am measuring more like a week behind and his head is VERY low! so his little head is stuck down there till delivery. I had a ob appt yesterday and my doc says that im measuring more like 34 weeks so with 2 different answers etleast i have my own middle ground. I was told by my midwife that they are going to have me doing a weekly biophysical profile on the baby probably till delivery. ANd i see my midwife every 2 weeks till they tell me different. He had the hiccups yesterday and i dont mind that i think its cute cus it dosent hurt when that happens i just watch my stomach. When he kicks though it can be painfull.

35 weeks: I am lets say very emotional and stressed out right now. My mother in law keeps trying to make plans that she wants us to do that are very close to my due date but wants us to travel her way which is about 3 hours and im completely against it cus there are chances my baby will be a little early and not to mention i want to have my baby at the hospital of our choice not by emergency at some other hospital. I also want to spend time with my son before the new baby is born and i feel very emotional lately to him spending the night in a differnet city. Not to mention last time that happend he got sick. i just would feel more at ease if these things werent going on. I have been having alot of pelvic pain and have woke up a few times with a horrible cramp in my calf muscle that makes my leg sore for a few days. I spent much of this weekend crying because of mother in law situations and my husband not talking to me first before he makes a plan with his mother. I am ready to be in the hospital having the baby so that when i say no one bother me the nurses and my husband know im serious. I see the doctor on thursday and lets just say i have alot to say and complain about!!
