April 29, 2009

Another doctors appt today. The doctor says everything is going perfect still. The heart beat was 148 beats per minute. I am measuring bigger then 28 weeks so he says he thinks i am more like 30 weeks. He has been trying to add weeks for a while. He says my next ultrasound is at 36 weeks but they have a new 4-D ultrasound thats really cool. We havent decided if we are going to do that one yet.

The baby's room is coming along. Still a lot to do and the time is ticking away.

April 15, 2009- Maternity Leave

So the last two weeks have not been easy. I am begining to feel how immobile I am getting, my nausea is returning at times, and my energy is down(probably from carrying around all this extra weight.). On Tuesday I had another dr's appt and I am officially on maternity leave. I did all the papers this morning but they knew it was coming. I am scared of how bored i am going to get so i am trying to keep busy. I am making a list of things i can do just so i know there is something to be done.

Did the glucose screen today and some other labs. I was terrified to do the glucose screen because i had been in there once before and a pregnant lady was crying because she couldn't stand it. It wasnt bad. It was like a really sweet hawaiian punch soda. My biggest complaint was i couldnt eat breakfast.

The baby is moving alot. The latest thing the baby does is stretch out and you can tell because my whole belly shifts.

April 1st doctors appt.

The doctor is still very happy with the pregnancy. The heart beat was 153 beats per minute. The baby was kicking the doctor and moving around alot during the appt. The doctor asked me to go on maternity leave stating Nursing was a physical and emotional difficult job. I refused. I am not ready for that yet. He has changed my appts from every 4 weeks to every 2 weeks. We are almost in the third trimester!!!

SAVE THE DATE

In looking at family calendars and the numerous family events we have this June, we decided to have the baby shower June 20th in Ridgecrest. Please mark it on the calendar. Hope everyone can make it. It is still to early for invites but schedules are filling up.
