U/S

We were able to get an ultrasound done yesterday.

It was really quick and I was hoping for a 3D, which we didn't get...so I guess her face will be a complete surprise in about a month :)

All looks on track.  She had her little legs tucked up by her belly.  She's head down so she should stay that way until delivery.  She was moving around like crazy and since she's so much bigger then the 20 week u/s it's a little harder to pick things out.  We did see her perfect little heart and some hands and feet and the little round belly.  The tech showed us the cute little hair on her head...so no bald baby for us!  Casen had a little bit of hair when he was born, so it'll be interesting to see how much she ends up with.

She was measuring at about 5 and a half pounds, give or a take a half a pound, which the tech said is right on for this point in time.  She said looking at my belly she'd say she was smaller if anything....but that's what they told me with Casen and he ended up being a pound and a half bigger then their guess :) So i'm still thinking she's going to be about the same size as Casen unless I go early.

Next appointment is this coming Friday and then they continue once a week until she's here :)

Again!?

It looks like I may have puppps....again.

A rash that less then once percent experience in their first pregnancy and one percent of those women will get it in subsequent pregnancies.

I really hope it ends up just being an allergy to detergent or something else, but it sure looks and feels like i've hit this lovely stage again.

Prayers would be appreciated.  I'd give birth any day over dealing with what puppps turned into my first pregnancy.

34 Weeks

34 weeks and all still looks well.

I gained 5 pounds since my 30 week appointment, yikes, but still on track.

She said i'm measuring right on and my blood pressure is still good.

We get an ultrasound in a week.  Yay :)

I can't believe next month the little lady will be here!  We still have so much to do.

7ish weeks to go!

I had my glucose test last week or the week before...I can't remember now.

But good news, found out this week no diabetes for me yay.  However I apparently failed the iron part of the test horribly and my doctor was pretty concerned about it so i'm on a prescript twice a day.

Now hopefully no more needles until we get to the birth part :)

29 weeks

28/29 Weeks

   And we are officially in the third trimester.  I feel like I'm carrying higher this time around, but she is soo much lower then Casen was.  I never have trouble with her kicking my ribs.  Her little feet are kicking right above my belly button.  It's causing quite a bit of pelvic pain and Caleb informed me that i've started to waddle :)
   She's super active during the day, so other then the normal wake ups during the night sleeping hasn't been as difficult as the first time around.  I just seem to be exhausted all the time like I was in the first trimester.  I've started back into getting really nauseous easily again....it was nice while it lasted.
   My belly is growing at rapid speed.  Thanks to my sister in law I purchased a belly band and that has helped a ton.  It helps my clothes last longer and makes my maternity pants a lot more comfortable.  I don't know if anyone else has this trouble, but the pants seems to stretch out in the first five minutes of wearing them and I spend the rest of the day trying to keep them up.

2 and a half months left!  I really hope it flies by.
We have our 30 week appointment next week to hopefully find out everything went well with the glucose test and then the visits should start becoming more frequent.  And we'll hopefully get to schedule our next ultrasound :)

                                                                      26 Weeks

Nothing really new.  All good reports from the Dr and I head for my glucose test next week, yuck.

Double digits until she's here!
