June 8, 2007 - Day 2 missed period. Had a krazy notion to take a hpt. So I took one this morning got a really faint line for the 2nd line, didn't think so much of it, so I did another one, got the same results. June 10, 2007 - Took 2 more hpt's and the 2nd line got darker, not by much, but now I knew for sure I was pregnant again. June 11, 2007 - Didn't want to admit that I was pregnant again to myself, so I took 2 more hpt's and the line was even darker than yesterday. June 12, 2007 - Yep you guessed it, I took yet another 2 hpt's, like I didn't take enough already, these last 2 hpt's the line shown up really really dark, so yeh I guess you can say the time is to admit that I'm pregnant again! June 14, 2007 - Had an appt with the family doctor in town. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE! They did 2 tests there and both shown positive. Here is the cute little note that the doctor wrote for me on his script pad. June 17, 2007 - HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! I made a card for my hubby and taped the doctor's note inside. At around noon when hubby got out of bed, he asked me if I had started my period yet, I said no. He had asked me this several times in the past few days and I had said no then to. I had gotten sick this morning and he wanted to know why. Haha! Anyway I told hubby to get dressed, he wanted to know a reason why, I said just do it. So hubby got dressed. And he took our youngest son Christian and held him sitting in his recliner chair. I handed him the card I had made, he is looking at the front and then opens it up... and omigosh, you should've seen his reaction. (Well I tried to figure out the video thing, sorry!) June 21, 2007 - Had an appointment with my obgyn at 10:15 am. I waited over an hour before I got in. Had to pee in a cup to check for any infections, I had none thank goodness. She took my blood pressure and it wasn't that bad, but it was a little high. I know why though I've been dealing with alot this past couple of months. Anyway then she had to feel around if you know what I mean, and she said it all felt normal. Then she went to do the internal ultrasound and we could see a sac but nothing else. Although she said that she wasn't worried because it was too early to see anything yet. Sac measuring at only about 5 weeks, but from my EDD given I'm in my 6th week. Doesn't make so much sense to me, but that's okay, I trust my ob and I trust that everything will show up at my next appointment which is on July 6th at 10 am. Wish me luck! June 22, 2007 - I was up at 5:30 this morning because I had a sudden urge to use the bathroom and then I got sick. Boy I really hate the morning sickness, but it's my reassurance this pregnancy. I have been feeling okay for the most part of this day. I had a bagel with cream cheese and some cranberry juice. I haven't felt so hungry today... and certain smells are starting to get to me. My boobs are starting to hurt more and more just like my nausea getting worse day by day. But that's ok, I really can't complain too much. June 24, 2007 - Earlier today hubby & I cleaned out the garage to get ready for the garage sale that our community is having next month. I started getting naueous and dizzy. I read that dizziness is a symptom in pregnancy due to rising hcg. Which is a good thing right? I just felt like I was going to pass out so I had to lay down for a bit. I had nausea all day and I kept getting headaches on and off all day to. Which I know to be normal because I had them when I was pregnant with my youngest son. My breasts are getting to be really sore now. And the certain smells that are getting to me is also getting worse. Like I wanted to fix a lasagna for this weekend but the smell of the hamburger was just too much at the time... maybe I should ask the hospital if I can borrow one of those doctor's masks lol. Seriously! Christian my youngest son has a new word... on June 23rd he said *Rock*... too cute. June 30, 2007 - So anyway I noticed just today that all week I've been eating and drinking sweet things. By this I mean apples, orange sherbert, ice cream, popsicles, cranberry juice, orange juice .. and the like. And it seems to help a bit with my nausea. But if I get around like hamburger, spices, or salty stuff like crackers, nuts & popcorn... forget it, I'll just upchuck it, blah. Everyone keeps asking me how I'm feeling and sometimes it's a little annoying because you can only hear I'm sick so many times lol. Because that is all I am, is sick,... the heat makes the nausea worse and that sux to. Today I did nothing, all week I barely did anything....today, late afternoon I ended up going to the hospital, I dunno how, but I had dehydrated so quickly from throwing up that hubby had to take me to make sure that I was ok. Well I'm ok, baby is ok, everything is ok now. Thank goodness. I hate the heat, I hate being sick... I want this part of the pregnancy to be over so I can eat normal again, so that I can actually get out and not worry about feeling sick that I can't do anything except just lay around all day, which by the way when I got home from the hospital, I did sleep alot. Hubby woke me up around 11 pm just to tell me he & Christian were home... he had taken the boys out to the lake with inlaws for a few hours. Aaron stayed the night with them. Today sucked because I couldn't play with my children...... July 12, 2007 - Major update! I haven't been on here much due to morning sickness. Talk about WOW! It just overcame me like a tidal wave... each & every day .. without fail! I had an ob appt earlier today at 1:30. I was worrying so much because about 10 days before that I had some bleeding. I bled for 3 days, no cramps or anything, but it still worried me. But I go in and my ob does an internal u/s and there was the little thing and I saw the heartbeat! I SAW A HEARTBEAT! My ob checked my cervix before that and she had no explanation as to why I had that bleeding, because my cervix was closed and everything looks great. I'm measuring only 8 weeks and 1 day, and now have an EDD of Feb 20th. So I have to change my tickers on here. If you want, go to my PHOTOS section, last picture, I have an u/s pic in there. I'm so excited to know that I'm still pregnant and I didn't lose the baby!!! July 20, 2007 - This pregnancy seems to be going slow, I'm only 9 weeks and 2 days today. I wouldn't mind it so much if I wasn't sick all the time....I hate the *baby* sickness, I hate throwing up. 2 days ago I actually didn't throw up at all that day, it felt nice not to...but I did have the all day nausea feeling, but hey better than throwing up, seriously! Anyway today my youngest son Christian is 19 months old! His new word this morning was Yes-sss--sss...it was funny and cute, because I was like can you say Yes, and he did that, he goes Yes, and then he started going ssss...ssss, and giving me raspberries...what a child. Aaron my oldest son has been being good, not talking back or anything the last few days, and I know it's because well his favorite auntie Beth, my sister in law died July 17th. So it's been a rough week for all of us here. My inlaws still don't know that I'm pregnant, the other night I told hubby maybe we just just wait until I have the baby and then tell them hey guess what...but I know that sooner or later we will have to tell them I'm pregnant. And that's something else I rather not do. Anyway, shout out to Brittany, Katie & Kathy, you my girls, love ya gals!! July 31, 2007 - Soooo today is day 4 without any morning sickness, wooooo! Although the nausea still lingers around a bit. But I've been drinking tons of cranberry juice right after I take my vitamin b6's, and I think that is what has been helping. Nothing else was working and finally that...go me! Anyhoo, I've been also getting my appetite back, and so, things I've eaten that I was able to keep down are fajitas, pizza, tortilla chips with hormel's chili... yummm!! Tonight for dinner I'm gonna attempt rigatoni. I can't wait, one more week until I hit my 3rd month. My next update won't be until Aug 10th which is my next ob appt. Anyway Sat & Sun I was down at my dad's visiting, it was nice, I got to see my one brother Johnny and my SIL Cory, and my niece & nephew and other family & friends who were down for my niece, Haley, she turned 6 yrs old, they had a bday party for her and all. It was fun, I miss them already, I know it seems silly, they only live 3 hours away, but gas is expensive and I don't get to see them all that much. So they all think I'm krazy for having another baby, but what can I say, they will get over it. And I know this will totally be our last one, 3 kids is enough. The funny thing about it all is before me & hubby were even married, we talked about how many kids we would have... and I wanted at least 3 lol. Well I got my wish. Inlaws STILL do not know. Not exactly sure when we plan on telling them, I dread the day hubby tells his dad & stepmom. I don't see them too often and they live 10 minutes away...yes I avoid them as much as I can. Wouldn't it just be nice to just wait until I give birth and then show up at their house and say hey look a new baby grandchild. That's exactly what I would like to do, that way I don't have to be miserable my whole pregnancy with what they think and have to say. They aren't exactly on my *nicey nicey* list. I'm tired, I wanna sleep all the time.... I've had few cravings, which I did shut them up when I had them, and those cravings were FUNYUNS, Chocolate milkshake from diary queen, and those half pies, they have apple & cherry and I have had both. Even pudding pies that I make, I so far have made a butterstotch & chocolate one, they are both delicious!!!!!! My oldest son has a soccer game tonite, go Aaron!! He really loves soccer since T-ball is over with right now. And not sure what new stuff with boy scouts is gonna come up. As for our youngest son Christian, he is in the copying repeating stage and learns at least 1 or 2 new words a day! His new words as of late are *blue*, *red*, *I don't know*, and *pink*. I'm so proud of both of my boys!!!!!!!! August 10, 2007 - So anyway earlier this morning I have an ob appointment for my 12th week scan.... it was so awesome to see my baby again! I'm soo over the morning sickness. Getting my appetite back is AWESOME.... but in turn of these events I get headaches that come & go, and the baby bought a trampoline (which is my bladder), so I have to go EVERY freakin' time I turn around it seems. Anyway back to my appointment. My friend Amy went with me into the room, and we watched my ob do the scan, and I asked about the heartrate, and she said it was about 160. I saw the heartbeat moving on the screen.. and my baby, my baby was moving around.. and at one point, my baby JUMPED! It was on it's back and it just JUMPED, like bounced from it's back.. it was soo cute and made me all giggly inside!! But yeh anyway I'm measuring AHEAD, so my due date has been changed a 4th time, instead of Feb 20th, it's now Feb 13th, before it was Feb 14th and was changed to Feb 20th... can't make up the mind... I have posted my ultrasound picture in the u/s photo album here, check it out. I was measuring 12 weeks and 6 days, which means tmrw I am officially 13 weeks and the start of my 2nd trimester. WOOOOO!!! P.S. I had to have my blood drawn (4 viles)... blah..but at least I won't need it done again! I had an allergic reaction to the tape they used to put the gauze on it...ugh. August 24, 2007 - OMG everyone! I'm in my 15th week and yesterday, around 7:30 pm, I had felt a definite *THUMP* against my stomach!! I felt the baby move! Before that I was just feeling the butterflies, in my 11th-12th week that is... I hope the *thumps* get more rapid over the days, this is the part of the pregnancy that I enjoyed when I was pregnant with my boys .... it was sooo awesome!!! Now I just can't wait until my next ob appt which is Sept 7th, and hopefully can find out the sex of the baby!!! My youngest son Christian, he is 20 months old, he keeps going around saying *baby* alot, and will climb up on the couch if I'm sitting there and lift up my shirt. I dunno if he understand what he is doing, but I really think it's cute and hope he has the same attitude when his new sibling is born, he'll be about 26 months then.....the good thing is the potty training seems to be going ok with him. Aaron, my oldest son, he is just like *NOT AGAIN*....but he said he really hopes this time I have a sister for him. Awwwwwww.... well it ain't up to me, but I know we'll be happy either way! Since I was dealing with morning sickness in the first trimester, I hadn't really had any real cravings, until I got my appetite back starting last week. And I was craving vanilla ice cream with strawberries, I had never had them together before in my life, but when I tried it, it was sooo good. I know this isn't really a craving, because I was thinking about my grandma and how much I miss her homemade fried mush. I had her recipe in fact, and I told hubby that I hadn't had it in so long, it's been a couple years, and I got to thinking of making some fried mush this weekend, with syrup!!! I might even make some cornbread! Well that's all! Aug 29, 2007- I'm weird about showing belly pics online, but some of my friends who know that I'm pregnant again, want to see ... so, don't laugh... those who know me well, know that I was already a thick girl to begin with, it looks like I could be further along than 16 weeks, but I'm not, and plus this is my 3rd, so they say you show and get bigger earlier with the more kids you have... I guess it's true, now when I get further along, I'll fill out more ... this is my belly now, the top part where it's all hard....and OMG look at those stretch marks!!! Thanks baby, just what I need LOL! P.S. I've been feeling the baby move more & more now, usually after I eat something, but mostly in the evenings when I'm resting and getting ready to go to bed. It's an awesome feeling! Last night I didn't get to bed until about 1 am, I had the worst heartburn after! I just sat there about ready to cry, I know what a big baby huh? But it was so bad, and I was sooo tired! Anyway my oldest son Aaron started school yesterday, 2nd grade mind you, I am so proud of him, he was so excited to be back with his friends. He had homework, and we *the parents* had homework to. I swear all the paperwork seems to be getting bigger each year, we had all these forms to fill out. Plus school pictures are on Sept 7th, the same day as my next ob appt. I already filled out what package we are gonna get. I will definetly scan the picture and share here when the time comes. My youngest son Christian has a few new words he likes to say, and they are *cheese*, *COOKIE* and *I know*. It's cute. September 1, 2007 - My hubby got to feel the baby move again.. but he/she won't do it enough lol!! All last night baby was moving around, I had a hard time getting to sleep, I just laid there with my hand on my stomach, it was soo awesome. I mean sure I've gone thru this before, but this is just the part of the pregnancy that I enjoyed most was feeling baby move!! Only 6 more days until my ob appt. *CROSSES FINGERS* for finding out the sex!! September 2, 2007 - I swear I think I felt the baby KICK last nite .. if it wasn't a kick, I dunno what the heck it was, because I was just laying down watching tv, and I was eating a hot dog with cheese inside it, and all of a sudden I about jumped up because it was just a really hard *thump* across my stomach! It didn't hurt, it just startled me.... I waited for it to happen again, but it didn't... then all I felt was some flutters, like the baby was turning around in there. I love it! September 7, 2007 - Today was my appt! We were hoping to find out the sex, but my ob said she couldn't tell, that it was too early. I got to see the heartbeat, the babys body, head, thigh/leg area... Heartbeat is still around the 160's. Been feeling the baby *thump* alot! Oh yeh I had cultures today to... I hated it, that thing was cold, but it's over with, they only do it once, wooooO!!!! Now I have to wait 4 more weeks to find out the sex of baby. Oh well, at least he/she is doing great. I could up more about my day today, but not everyone needs to know the details, lets just say that after my appt, it was a very emotional, exhausting day ........Picture of my u/s is in the photo album here. September 13, 2007 - 18 weeks 3 days and I look like I could be 6, maybe 7 months already, haha! Oh well I don't care, they say you show faster/earlier with the more kids you have, this is my 3rd. You would think twins, but I'm only having ONE, thank the stars above!! I've been feeling the baby move ALOT now, no more just flutters, no more just *thumps*, they are actual KICKS now ... it's soo awesome ... I have been waiting forever for this part of the pregnancy ... am I weird or what? I have to wait until my next ob appt to find out the sex ..... I am NOT a patient person, anybody who knows me, knows this, I am just dying to find out ..... I've been getting my headaches again, people keep telling me I need more liquids, I'm already drinking tons of water/ice AND cranberry juice, I haven't gotten a UTI yet! Plus I take 2 flintstone vitamins daily, and my daily VITAMIN B6. So I know it's nothing to do with needing more liquids. I'm like exhausted anymore, but hey being pregnant and taking care of 2 other young children, IS exhausting .... those with 1 or 2, or even more kids than that, AND pregnant, know what I am talking about. Plus I have been in that *nesting* mode all last weekend and there isn't anything to do now, and I just have no energy whatsoever. P.S. Somebody tell mommy to lay off the chocolate pies!! September 21, 2007 - Ok everyone keeps telling me that they think it's a girl, or they have a feeling it's a girl, well my friends that is ....... I can't get those feelings yet, I did with my boys and I was right both times, but this pregnancy ... I just don't get it ... I had one dream that I had a girl, but I think it was just because I want another girl ... but as for feelings ... nope not there ..... I have 2 friends, well more than 2 friends that are pregnant, but the 2 I'm talking about, they were finding out what they were having ... and I told them both I had a feeling they were girls, and guess what? I was right!!!! They are both having girls .... now ..... anybody else wanna give it a go for me?? Just kidding of course ........ Other than that I'm feeling great, the baby kicks alot, I've mention that before, but I mean, ALOT ..... I love it .... I get up about 8 million times a night to use the bathroom .... that I don't like, cause I'm way tired .... last nite I had to use the bathroom in the dark because hubby forgot to change the lightbulb, what a dork ..... Ya don't do that to a pregnant woman!! September 25, 2007 - 20 weeks! I am not sure what I had here for my update. As the page I had all my updates on before were half deleted. But anyway ... here is my 20 week belly shot picture, .......!! September 27, 2007 - Let me tell ya, do not eat ravioli and drink cranberry juice together ..... ugh I did that and the baby did NOT like it, started kicking like krazy and then ... I ran to the bathroom ... ewwww ..... but then I felt alot better and baby was still kicking and moving around. I guess unless you are constipated then eat and drink it .. but I wasn't lol!! October 1, 2007 - I found a sure fire way of getting the baby to move. Well for me anyways. I love it, the baby mostly moves around at nite. I am guessing he/she will be a nite owl like me when he/she is born! October 5, 2007 - Today was my ob appt! I'm so disappointed, we could not tell ... what do you expect from an old 2D ultrasound machine ... it was not clear, the baby moved around alot and even yawned.... saw & heard the heartbeat ...., my bp was 132/80, all is good. So since we could not tell, hubby & I have decided not to find out .... baby will be a surprise when born. I do have a new u/s pic, of the baby facing us again .... which is in the photo album here. Check it! October 8, 2007 - 22 weeks!!! These 2 pics were taken the same day, Shirt down and shirt up just to show the difference, and you can see some lovely stretch marks, blah. In the one I was extremely tired, like you can't tell eh? That is why I was not smiling. I am so tired anymore it's not funny. I'm already getting to the point where it is starting to get uncomfortable sleeping on my sides at night. I am not a side sleeper at all, one of the things I hate about being pregnant. I can't wait until I can sleep on my stomach again!! As usual the baby is moving and kicking around alot. I love that feeling. Well I'm off for a nap before the boys get home!!! October 16, 2007 - Yesterday was Pregnancy & Infant loss Awareness & Remembrance day. All around the world at 7 pm, you light candles in remembrance to those you have lost. I lit 5 candles yesterday and spent most of my time offline, well I was offline all day except for like 20 minutes, just because I wanted to post about the day on my myspace so others could know about this cause that is near & dear to my heart. Anyway here is the official site for this day, Pregnancy & Infant Loss. It's a great site to look at. October 20, 2007 - Happy Sweetest Day everyone! October 21, 2007 - Well just wanted to put a lil something something here. This weekend has been so much better for me, I got to sleep in while hubby got up with Christian and took care of him, which is great because I haven't sleep so good in the last week. Christian was teething his 2 yr molars, which I thought he had all his teeth but I was wrong. In the last few days he has had 9 poopies, diaherria, and a fever. But it's all good now, so I think the teeth have broken through, which would mean the worst is over. Thank goodness. I hate to see my kids in pain. About Aaron, well he is doing great in school, and in boy scouts. Anyway, I'll be 24 weeks tmrw, can you believe that, 6 months. Wow, this is just going by so fast for me now. At first it seems to be going slow. I think with all the holidays coming up now I think that is why it seems to be going fast, we are all so busy around here decorating or shopping for new clothes and things like that. It's nice though, I like to keep busy, I hate being bored!!! Oh by the way we made the transition for Christian to be in a toddler bed over this weekend, so far so good! Next weekend, he will be awarded with a new toy. We also have to get both boys new clothes. My next ob appt is Oct 30th, IF, and that's a big IF, if we find out the sex, we will not be sharing. But I'm not gonna hold my breath, only because I mean the last couple appts we couldn't see or tell the sex. So for now the sex of this lil one is a big surprise. But we do have names picked out finally for either boy or girl, so we are ok there. I hate not knowing, but what can ya do? Well that's all for now. October 22, 2007 - Holy Cow! I'm 24 weeks today! Wow, 6 months. Here are some new baby bump pics that I took earlier, hope you enjoy them. And remember ... PREGO, it's in there!! (From the spaghetti commercial, but thought it was funny to imply here).... October 26, 2007 - I just had to put this here, but every time that my hubby talks, my baby moves around and kicks me. I just love it, like baby knows daddy's voice already!! It's soooo neat!! October 30, 2007 - It's a .... We know what we are having ... I was supposed to have an appt today, but had to reschedule as we are all sick around here, and there was a lil thing with hubby forgetting as well, but that's over with. Anyway, so I just went into the town doc to see if they could do a quick u/s to say what gender it was ... and we are having another boy. I knew my feelings on this were right ... hubby and I wanted a girl so bad and I just knew we were gonna have another boy, because every time I got pregnant and it stuck it's been a boy ... just our luck, heh. But we have a name picked out and we are going with Andrew Nicholas James. November 5, 2007 - 26 weeks today ... I don't think I see much difference in my 24th week and now, but I guess that is just me. If you look closely in the first picture, you can see the brown line that you get in pregnancy ... well some women anyway. I always did ... Also I just couldn't wait to do the heart sign!!!!! November 13, 2007 - Well ... the appointment this morning went really well. I go in there to see baby, and my ob, she shown me his heartbeat first, and I got to hear it again, which was awesome, it was around 155. I had her double check the sex and yep it's still a boy! *HE* was showing it for all the world to see this time!! My ob said that he weighs about 2 lbs and something. She estimates that by the time he comes he'll probably weigh 7-8 lbs. Anyway my b/p was 126 over 80, which is good. I had scheduled my next appt in 3 weeks (Dec 4th) for the sugar test and I also have the orange drink, it's in my fridge right now. Oh and my ob had me measuring at 27 weeks, which is totally awesome cause I am 27 weeks and 1 day today!! And my EDD is staying, and that's Feb 11th ... good, cause 5 times it being changed, I am so glad to have an actual due date!!! Check out my photo album here, I put up my 27 week u/s pics in there!! (My doc is Andreani, she is very nice!) P.S. Here is a random photo I took, of me with my u/s pics (27 weeks 1 day)! November 19, 2007 - I am 28 weeks today! Wow, hard to believe! Only 12 more weeks to go give or take until baby Andrew is with us for reals! February will be here before we know it. Anyway I have been really really tired lately, and itchy, oh the itchiness of my arms, legs ... mostly my belly is driving me almost insane. I do use baby lotion and that helps some. But since it is colder now and winter is coming, it just gets worse with the dry skin and all. Blah! Oh well it will all be worth it in the end. Andrew has been moving and kicking alot, and hubby and I get tickled every time just feeling him move inside me. Our 2 boys have felt their baby brother to be move a couple times, I swear I don't know what is going thru their head, thinking about what he is doing inside me doing that. But they seem really excited about it and can't wait to see him. We wonder whose hair color he'll take after ... mine (blonde) or hubby's (brown). Since Aaron has hubby's brown hair and Christian has my blonde hair. Baby will definitely have blue eyes, as we all have blue eyes. Here are some new baby bump photos I took earlier this morning! Up Close - Pregnant and looking good in purple to lol. Everyone likes the black & white ones the best lol ... but the one color one, the last one, I left that way you could see the hard mound, ... and also the brown line that goes up & down from my belly button area is a little darker as well, if you can see it, cause I notice when I look down at my stomach from time to time in the right lighting. December 4, 2007 - I had my sugar test earlier today! Today was ok. I was up at 7 am dressed and ready to go. I had to get Christian dressed and ready to go as well. Hubby has left for work and Aaron for school! My friend Amy shown up at my house around the same time I needed to drink the orange stuff, 8 am! She took me to my appt, we got there around 9, my appt was 9:15, but I got in there around 9:20, making pretty good time! First thing was the nurse pricks my finger to take a blood sample to test for GD ... then she weighs me, I lost 2 lbs, that was written down in my records lol. Then I was told to go give a urine sample, that's always fun... NOT! But I did that, then was directed to a room for a routine ultrasound. The nurse takes my blood pressure, which turns out to be good. Couple minutes later my ob comes in, asks me how I'm doing, if the baby is moving around and all that junk. I told her I'm feeling ok, and that baby Andrew moves around and kicks alot, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep! Anyway so I lay down on the table and we do the ultrasound, he is moving around and floating lots ... I asked if we could try and get a print out of his foot or feet as I have always been getting face/head shots. And we did! Anyway, I do NOT have GD, thank goodness. Plus Andrew is growing as he should and everything is looking great! The ultrasound of his feet is in the photo album here! My 30 week baby bump shots! FULL PROFILE & UP CLOSE! FRONT VIEW! *Yikes* lol! December 26, 2007 - Wow, so Xmas came & went. I am so glad the holidays are over. Too much excitement for me! Both of my boys did really good for xmas, they got tons of stuff. Hubby got me this really pretty Tinkerbell lamp (it's from Home Depot!), but yeh it's really pretty, check out home depot for the disney character lamps, they are awesome! The ones I saw were Nemo, CARS, Tinkerbell, Disney Princesses .... not sure what others there are, if any. Not much has been going on really to talk about. The pregnancy is still going strong, and baby Andrew is still moving about and kicking, I am surprised he still has room to do all that. I am 33 weeks and 2 days today. These are my new baby bump photos that were taken on Xmas at 33 weeks and 1 day. Baby Andrew has dropped because I was carrying much higher before and I had lost a few lbs. But like I mentioned before my ob wasn't concern, plus he is growing right on target with my due date and all is great!!! My next ob appt is January 10th, 2008! January 10, 2008 - I had an OB appointment earlier this evening. We were pretty much the last ones to leave the office. There were like 4 other pregnant women there as well (not counting me). Anyway I go in there and the first thing the nurse did was take my blood pressure, which turns out to be a little high, but it wasn't too high where my OB was concern, which I was surprised because I have been stressed out a bit lately. But anyway, I was getting ready to ask my OB about checking me down there because of having braxton hicks and some weird pressure feelings. And the coincidence was that she was doing an internal exam anyway. So she did the cultures and then checked my cervix. Nope, nothing is going on. Besides it still is a bit early yet anyway. After that we got some of that goop put on my belly, it was warm, and my baby boy starting doing the wave (moving) around inside. We were looking at him on the ultrasound and he was wiggling his butt!! And I felt him the whole time, it was really funny! But anyway all looks really good. I asked my OB about how much he weighs now and measuring at almost 36 weeks, she said about 5 lbs and something. She guessed that he'll weigh about 7 lbs when he is born. Sounds good to me! Oh before leaving I asked her about doing an induction. She said since nothing was going on right now, that at my next appointment we will talk about the induction. Like she said might do it a week early before my due date. Which means!! I might have a baby in the next 3 weeks and not in 5 weeks. Also she had me signed the permission papers for the Labor & Delivery (L&D). In case I need a c-sec, or some type of meds or whatever I may need. Now hubby needs to fax over the FMLA papers so she can sign them for his work. He is taking at least 2 weeks off for when I have the baby. I really can't wait to meet my lil boy and be done with being pregnant. January 13, 2008 - Today is my 28th birthday! It was awesome! My hubby took me out to eat Chinese for dinner, which we don't do often as stuff like that is expensive anymore. But anyway, I totally pigged out! It was so good! Then hubby took me shopping, he bought me this cute tinkerbell hoodie (which I have put in the photo album here), and a couple other nice shirts. I got birthday cards with money from family & friends, so I went and bought myself this really cute 2 sided reversible fleece throw, which has tinkerbell on it as well. That picture is also in the album here. Well after shopping, we just went driving around, but then it started to rain, and turned into wet snow, then actual snow ... so we decided to stop by a grocery store real quick. Hubby bought me a really nice birthday cake, and some ice cream. We came home to relax and have some cake. Didn't get into the ice cream that night, which was ok, the cake was really delicious. You can see some pics of me and all with my birthday cake! I had a really nice time with my hubby and our 2 boys!!!!! Here are some of my 36 week baby bump photos!! Hubby thought this was a cute idea! January 24, 2008 - Well I'm so pissed off! She checks me out and I'm not dialated at all, but I'm having really bad pains, what the hell ya know? But anyway when she was checking me out down there, she touches his head, he is really down low, so anytime right ..... I brought up about picking a day to be induced, and she's like well one more appt ... and we'll DISCUSS it then, WHAT THE F*CK! But anyway so I have to go back Jan 31st for another appt. Oh and that she said if we pick a day, she wants to go with as close as to my due date as possible, my due date is Feb 11th and she is wanting to go with Feb 8th ... IF she induces .... omg that's 3 days shy of being 40 weeks ... I'm miserable now, I'm in pain .... I walked out of there in tears ... for real. She made checking *down* there worst than when I went in. I'm crampy, having BH and I'm irritated to extreme. So no news today, grrrr. But, baby is looking good. But the momma about had it!!! A tag made with one of my 37 weeks and 3 day baby bump!! :) January 31, 2008 - Well I tried to get my ob to go for the 4th again, nope, even the 6th, nope, she was stuck on the 8th .. anyway my BP was 120/80, which is good ... got one last u/s pic of Andrew, but you can't really see it that good ... TODAY was my last appt!! The crampiness I was feeling .. GUYS! I have news!! She checked me down there again and I'm a good 2 cm dialated!! I am scheduled to go to the hospital on the 8th to be induced (UNLESS I go on my own) ... which who knows!! But I've progressed! And I'm so ready now ......... wooo... Here is my 38 weeks and 2 day baby bump picture (taken yesterday)!
