Week 30

17 is the lucky number...
Well I finally had another doctor apt today. It really has been over a month. The office had to keep rescheduling. What can you do? So, now here are some updates. If you do not want to know the truth or the gruesome details, do not read any further.

Body:

Well there have been many changes some of which I will not go in to detail on. Lets say I could feed my baby if he came today, enough said. My weight gain has been right on target total so far 17 pounds at 30 weeks, AWESOME! My hips are freaking killing me. The nights are the worst because I can not sit up. Laying on my side is a joke, because it hurts really bad. What can you do? Try desperatly to find a position that lets you sleep a few hours. Not that it matters much because I have to go to the bathroom almost every hour. The days are not too bad mainly because I have a low impact job, it is just mental. Braxton Hicks are very interesting as well. I have them just about every day sometimes a couple an hour. Which the first time I had a couple an hour was a little worried, but totally normal.

Doctor says:

My uterus is measuring almost 2 weeks ahead. Since it is not over 2 weeks they will not change my due date. I am thinking I am measuring ahead because I am going to have a big boy. My midwife is thinking he will be over 8.5 pounds. I think he will be bigger. Very optimistic, huh? Blood pressure is going up from my usual low but that can be expected. She just said they will keep an eye on it. I am going back now every 2 weeks as to be expected after 30 weeks. Everything else seems to be coming along perfect. I can hardly wait to hold my little man in my arms. I am so looking forward to that day.

If any of you recent pregnant gals have questions and want a blunt answer on what I have gone through, please ask. I have no problem sharing what I have gone through. Some of it I do not post on here just because I am sure some would consider it too much information. But let me know. I used Bekah and Amy a lot.

I plan on doing blogs when he is born regarding products I use and what I think of them.. Stay tuned. :)

Week 28

Week 28 is here. That means third trimester baby! My body is taking some interesting twists. Well mainly twisting and turning at night. The nights are the worst. I wish I could stand in my sleep. The pain my hips are going through could only mean one thing to me, Gavin is going to be HUGE and my body is telling me so. Oh well, what can one do. I am trying to do stretches. I feel really good other then that. So, what is next, well that is for my body to decide. Will keep you posted.

Week 27

My friend Bekah should be posting some new pictures tomorrow of my 27 week mark. She took them so she is going to post them. Things for this week are going well. I feel like when I sit down I am squishing him. He gets kinda mad and wiggles. One major things that happened is I pushed myself a little hard, too little of sleep, not enough healthy food and stress. So, what happened you ask? Well last Saturday Kenney and I went to breakfast and then shopping at Home Depot. I started sweating and just not feeling right. Then got home and well from there not to go in to great detail I got sick. Yes, sick all luckily I was outside so the fresh air helped. At that point I ended up sleeping all day Saturday. I have finally figured out that I can not push myself like I used. The hardest part is taking it easier. What does that really mean?? Well I need to be careful because it isn't just me any more. WoW I really have to take a step back. Anyhow feeling better and not exactly taking it easy. I figure I will never have that so I guess I better get used to it.

Love you all!
