34w and 2d

Had my bi-weekly checkup today....gained 3 pounds for a grand total now of 24! Everything was good AND they said the baby has dropped and descended into the birth canal! They assured me that that doesnt mean I am going to go into labor anytime soon...but hey, its progress!


I have a mad case of heartburn right now and have had a headache since I woke up this morning...sucks! I took Tylenol but it didnt work...I do need another dose of Zantac though!

Here are some belly pics I took today.....I let Emma take the pics and Graci got a little jealous so she took the one that Emma is in...did a pretty good job too!

OMG....I bought this cute little hat on ebay and it just came in the mail today! I LOVE it! Its a little beanie and its so cute! I would buy a couple more but they are like $9.99 a piece....but so worth it!

Yeah....its 3D day!

Going to see Nicole's mom to get my 3D Ultrasound today....so excited! I hope the baby is facing us so we can see its widdle chubby cheekers! Knowing how stubborn this baby was about its "parts" though....I have a feeling we wont have such good luck...we will see.

Wish me luck :-)

32 weeks

Had my routine bi-weekly checkup today....

• Heartbeat 145
• Measuring good
• Gained 4 more pounds for a total of 21
• BP good

My actual doctor is out this week so I saw the midwife, Bobbi....she is really nice and personable. Anyway, she must be training on the u/s machine because she asked me if I wanted to take a peak at the baby and of course I said yes...always up for a chance to see baby girl! So I got to see Mollie Magoo today and she was so cute...you could actually see her fat little cheeks and she was sucking it was so cute! I am so excited for her to be here!

Went to Daryl's for dinner tonight with Nicole, Maria, Lauren and Leslie....good eating but I am soooooooooooooooo stuffed! Then we went and walked around downtown looking for ice cream but Jackson has nothing to offer after 8pm apparently. So Maria, Nicole and I decided to go to Cascades and get Ice Cream....we sat at a picnic table and chatted for awhile about our crazy kids and ways of parenting....poor Maria has so much to look forward to, lol! So good to see the gals and hang out with out all of our kids around...it was very relaxing until the damn mesquitos starting biting! We need to do it again soon!

Too much sun today...

So lately, every chance I have gotten, I have layed out at my MIL's pool and baked in the sun. OH how I have missed the tanner, my tan skin (well...evenly tan skin). Today I went out in an actual bikini because the maternity bathing suits, when wet, make my belly itch terribly....so needless to say...my stomach had had NO sunshine this summer at all....I am BURNT to a crisp! I havent been burnt like this in years! Oh well...it will turn into a tan, so I am not too worried! Now I just have to figure out a way to tan my back side....its hard when you cant lay on your stomach, lol!

29w & 6d

Here it is folks.....another belly shot! I'm gettin there!

29w & 4d

So I had my first bi-weekly check up today....same ol same ol....EXCEPT I managed to gain 12 pounds in the last 2 weeks...HOLY GUACAMOLE! Yep so its a total of 17 pounds to date :-) I actually feel much better about the 17 pounds then I did the 5 pounds...because it feels more normal to have gained 17 then 5 total in 30 weeks!

Ok that was pretty much it....until next time, lol

Almost 28 week check-up

Went to doctors today....here is what happened:

• Baby's Heartbeat - 148
• Measuring exactly where I should be
• Blood Pressure Good
• Lost 3 Pounds....WTF???? Yeah you read right....I LOST 3 pounds! So now for a grand total of 5 pounds gained so far!!!! What the hell??? I guess those late night frozen pizzas arent hurting me, lol! The nurse/doctor both said I was all belly...but then whats up with my ass & hips??? LMAO...seriously! Maybe they were just big before and I was to blind to notice...who knows! But hey...I am not complaining!

I am now going every 2 weeks....exciting! I have to go and get my Rhogam Shot on Monday...Ouchie! And then I have to take my Glucose test this week as well...gross!

Yesterday I got a massage from my friend Lauren....BTW, GREAT massage therapist! If you or anyone you know is in need of an hour long massage for only $35...call Lauren @ (517)812-1122!

She is AWESOME! She does Gift Certs too!! Like how I name dropped...she will love that, lol!
