35 Week Dr. Appt.

I went yesterday for my 35 week check-up.  I had an u/s done but the little stinker had his arm in front of his lips and a foot up by his face so we couldn't really get any good picture of him.  She was able to get a picture of some of his hair, the tech seems to think he has quite a bit, but we'll see when he gets here I know sometimes they tell you that then they get here and they don't have much at all!

• His heartbeat was in the 140's
• He's weighing around 6 lbs. 1 oz according to the U/S
• I got to see his little pee-pee in 3D- There is NO way he could come out being a girl. haha
• My fluid level is still up where it needs to be- Thank the Lord!!
• He is head down, however, he now wraps around my right side instead of my left
• He has been hitting my sciatic nerve and oh my word- Ouch!
• My cervix is still pretty long- which is a good thing at this point
• I didn't gain any weight! Woohoo!! :)
• My belly is still measuring two weeks behind (Which Deb seems to think he is just in there deep, which made since to me because I feel some pokes and little body parts pretty far back on my sides.)
• She said overall he's measuring about 4 days ahead

I go back again next week to do a fluid check and a stress test.  I did schedule my last two appointments, I can't believe the end is SO close!!! I'm hoping after my shower tomorrow I can start washing up clothes and what not.

**Happy One Month to my niece Madison!! We love you sweet little girl.** :)

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

Best moment this week:  My Dr appt yesterday, my fluid has gone up, but she said continue to rest because we don't want it to go back down.  She also said that if I would go into labor at 36 weeks they wouldn't stop it.... Thats like TWO weeks away, I'm not ready AT ALL... Bring on the stress.  I'm freaking out about this.  At this point I'm over this house remodel, I'm so sick of it and sometimes wonder why we ever chose to do it at this time in our life.... ughhh, I could write a sob story about that but I won't.

Update

I went back to the Dr. this morning and had an U/S done  His head is still a good 2 weeks ahead of schedule.  The tech said everything looked good and that he was measuring around 34 weeks (overall I'm guessing).  He's weighing around 4lbs 9 oz.

Then I met with Deb, anddd my fluid level is low again. :( Not what I wanted to hear.  Its at 10 and she said if it gets down to a 5 then they have to take the baby because it becomes too dangerous for them to be in there.  She told me that I need to rest, rest and more rest. I'm also starting weekly visits from here on out.  She said she wanted to really keep an eye on my fluid and if it got any lower I will have to cut back to only working in the morning and resting in the afternoon.  I think she was wanting to do it today but could tell I didn't want that at all. Don't get me wrong if that is what it comes to that is what I'll do but I'm going to try my hardest to rest as much as possible.  I'm pretty sure I already failed tonight... But this weekend I plan on doing a lot of resting, I think the shopping trips to get out of the house remodel mess are far and few now. :)

But we have a lot to get done in his room.  I'm hoping Michael will get that painted this weekend.  The carpet comes next week sometime and I'm hoping that the crib can be put up next weekend.  Then I can get all his clothes washed and put away.

Thats all I have for now I need to get some sleep, I'm soooo tired! :)

33 Weeks Dr. Appt.

I know I have been horrible about updating my blog, not only is it crazy in our house with the remodel-- I'm exhausted again, like first trimester exhausted ready for bed by 7.  I have taken updated pictures and need to take more because the livingroom/kitchen got painted last weekend and now the cabinets are here (still in boxes) and will hopefully be up this weekend. Anyways on to what the title of my post is about...

• Today was a pretty quick appointment.
• I gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks!! Holy shit, its like a cycle I don't gain anything but then I make up for it the next time I go. 
• Heartbeat was in 140's
• I got prescribed something for acid reflux/heartbearn- Praise the Lord!! Now I don't have to feel like I'm having a heart attack (it was that bad last Saturday night, I thought I was dying).
• And the bad news... I have to go back tomorrow morning and have an U/S done because my belly is measuring 30 weeks and I'm 33.  I asked Deb what this meant- she said it could be the way he is positioned, it could be my fluid being low or that he's not gaining weight or something like that, I wish Michael would have been with me for an extra set of ears.  She said I may have to cut back to working in the morning and coming home and resting in the afternoon (if he isn't gaining what he should be)- I don't want this to happen, but I will do whatever needs to be done.  So I'm gaining this weight and its going to my thighs and he's not taking it, is what I wanted to ask her! haha So please pray everything goes well tomorrow and that baby boy is growing the way he should be and that its just his positioning!
• Speaking of his positioning she said he is pretty low, so I guess when it gets closer to the due date and he 'drops' I'll be carrying him between my legs?! ;)
