Dr Appt- 31 Weeks

This is going to be a quick update because I'm exhausted and have to watch The Real Housewives in a few minutes!! :) haha

• Had my 31 Week appointment and it was a quick one
• Heartbeat was in the 140's
• I'm still sitting at 16 lbs total gained
• I met with Dr. Gratkins and he cracked me up today, he came in shook my hand asked how I was feeling told me I looked great and blah blah blah... Then he procedes to ask "So have you stood in the mirrior butt ass naked and cried yet?" I just started laughing, I've met him twice, how could he tell that I'm the type that would do that? I thought it was funny and when I told my mom she'laughed and said 'he knows you too well'. :)
• I did ask him about how soon I could start walking/running, and he said that a week or so after I have the baby I could go on walks, but the running he said more like 3-4 weeks (that is obviously if I don't have to have a c-section).

It was a very quick appointment and I was in and out, but that was good because my sister had Madison today!! She is just so precious, I bawled my eyes out when Jason sent me a picture of her.  She looks so much like her mommy, but Em said she has Jason's eyes.  I didn't get to see them though because the little stinker slept the whole time I was there. I'm hoping to go back down tomorrow after work, but we'll see... I have so much stinkin laundry to do.  I will post pictures of her hopefully tomorrow or Thursday (depending on if I go back tomorrow).

House Remodel Update

It has been forever since I have posted updated pictures of our remodel, so here they are.  The drywaller is coming this week and Michael is hoping to put primer on the walls this weekend *fingers crossed*.  After that they will be ready to paint.  The cabinets are in and we ordered the flooring for the kitchen last week so that should be here next week sometime.  Once we get it painted we can put the cabinets in and the appliances (which should be here the second week of April).  Then we can do the flooring and hopefully keep it moving along.  I will leave you with these pictures and will try to update Brocks room in a seperate post, his pretty much looks like what these pictures show (drywall that needs to be finished).

Standing at the back door view- The hallway entrance was moved down to allow for more room for a kitchen table since we replaced the window with sliding doors

Kitchen- We have a new door that will replace that old wooden one

30 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 30 Weeks- Holy cow only 10 weeks left!! We have a LOT to do.

Gender: BOY- Brock :)

Maternity Clothes: Yes, some.

Weight gain: 16 lbs!! yikes!

Movement: Yes, lots of kicks in the ribs!

Sleep: Wake up to pee at least twice sometimes 3 times...

Stretch Marks: None

Symptoms: Acid reflux still.. :( not fun.

Cravings: Ice cream has been sounding so good, perhaps b/c of the temps?
Aversions: Nothing really I can think of.

What I miss: sleeping through the night and being able to lay however I want.

Best moment this week:  Seeing my sweet boy on the U/S (yes, I know that was last week) and feeling him move around! :)

 Playing with his toes- His hand is on the right and his foot is on the left. :)

29 Week Dr. Appt

• I had my first two week Dr. Appt today.  We got lots of pictures.   At one point he was sucking on his fist and then at another point we watched him playing with his toes!!
• Heartbeat was 137 bpm
• I gained 4ish pounds in two weeks! Yikes! So that puts me up to a total of 16, the dr. said I've gained 15 but I've been keeping track myself and I believe its 16 lbs. 
• I think little man is going to have a big noggin-  It is measuring two weeks and so many days ahead.  I really hope that I don't have to have a c-section because of this, but we'll do whats best for baby when the time comes. :)
• His body is measuring at 30 weeks
• His femur bone is measuring about 3 days behind (he will probably be on the shorter side- ha we could have guessed that one though, not too much height to us)
• My fluid level is up to 15 now, 17 is where they want ya, so much better!
• I asked about my glucose test (I knew I had passed since I never heard anything from them) it was 128 and the 'cut-off' is 130- yikes, I about had to do the three hour test!
• I go back in two weeks for a regular check-up/appt. And won't have another U/S until 36 weeks, which I know will be here before we know it!

His sweet little face and a hand

Sorry for the blurriness it was taken with my phone, my belly has grown so much!

A front view, sorry if I gross anyone out! :)

I will try to get some better pictures this weekend* maybe*, it has been choas around here.  The house is a mess, there is no good place to take a picture and Michael has been working around here till 7 sometimes 8 and well by 8 I'm ready to head to bed.  I'm hoping to post more pictures on the house at the end of the weekend.  Our big window in the front/livingroom is being put in and they are cutting the brick and putting in sliding doors where windows use to be by the kitchen table.  I guess I will just have to go shopping this weekend! ;) Or perhaps little Miss Madison will decide to come and I can go to the hospital and smooch on her!

28 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 28 Weeks

Gender: BOY- Brock :)

Maternity Clothes: Yes, last Friday was the first day I wore maternity pants, and my jeans are getting snug too so I broke down and ordered some maternity jeans from the Gap, I'm hoping they work. 

Weight gain: 12 lbs as of my last appointment last Monday, I go back again a week from today so we'll see. :)

Movement: Yes, sometimes he does some stuff in there that makes me jump!

Sleep: Wake up to pee at least twice sometimes 3 times... Lateley I've been waking up at 3 having to go to the bathroom and then can't fall back asleep till almost 5, its very frustrating since I get up at 5:30 anyway.

Symptoms: Acid reflux still.. :( not fun.

Cravings: Nothing really

Aversions: Nothing really I can think of, I'm just kind of in that stage where nothing really sounds good and deciding what to have a meal times is really hard, I almost wished I had cravings instead, at least then I know what I feel like.

What I miss: sleeping through the night and being able to lay however I want.

Best moment this week:  How about the worse? Drinking the glucose drink- Yuck! I'm hoping I don't hear from the Dr's office which will mean I passed!! :) We'll see.  Michael got the windows put in Brocks rooms yesterday so were making some progress slowly but surely, hopefully he'll be drywalling it this weekend!! :)

 

*Erica if your reading this I promise to get an updated picture of my belly (it has grown a lot) :)...
