36 Weeks Pregnant 9 months!

LOOK WHO IS 9 MONTHS!!!! HA! I made it ;-)
So this week I am 36 weeks pregnant. Remember how a few weeks ago I was having a lot of shooting pains in my cervix? WELL I WAS RIGHT! LOL Doc checked me and I am 3 cm dilated and very thin babies head is very low. SOOOO this means that I could go into labor any day now. EACK! LOL if I make it to my 37 week appt. when he checks me if I am any further along he will send me to labor and delivery to be monitored then decide if he will be moving up my repeat c-section. So next week may be the week! Ready of not! Oh and I asked doc why I am having weird sore pains in my stomach and he said that I'm probably contracting but it's not noticeable but the contractions are making my stomach sore.
Well since my doctors visit I have been running around crazy trying to get things cleaned and finished  I still need to put a few things on the nursery wall and I want to get a few chores done around the house. Like wash all the bedding scrub all the showers, fun stuff. I'm full fledged NESTING mode!
Big sister said she is not ready for a crying baby yet LOL! As for me I am up to 24 lbs and I had promised myself 25 was my max so I AM ready ;-).....as soon as I finish cleaning and putting the nursery together LOL!

And boy am I lucky, I chanced it and went to the coast 4 hours away this weekend. I will not be making that trip again for awhile HA! Here are hubby and I...

36 weeks pregnant! 9 Months WHOO HOO!

XOXO,

32 weeks pregnant

HELLLO 32 weeks pregnant!!!
Well this week I got to go to my 32 week check up and ultrasound. Guess what?! I was right! Baby did turn! She is now head down where she is suppose to be and will not be flipping back around per doc.
She weighs 4 1/2 pounds, couldn't get a length because she was being stuburn and had her feet and hands in her face.
Doc says my dizzy spells are because she is blocking blood flow to my brain.....uhhhhh YIKES! He says he can do nothing about it and it will probably get worse as she gets bigger, lovely. His advice.... be careful driving. Thanks doc....
The first thing doc pointed out was "See all those spiky things? That's all her HAIR!" OMG a baby girl with hair?! AWWWWWW ;-)!!!! I got to see of her fingers and toes, I made sure her umbilical cord wasn't wrapped around her neck....me being a little over protective already?! maybe.... LOL
Everything about her is perfect and I'm doing great. Hard to get a profile pic because she didn't want to be disturbed. Oh and weight I'm still at only 18 pounds since pre pregnancy. Yah me!

32 weeks 4 days ultrasound

31 Weeks Pregnant

Well 31 weeks and 8 month pregnant   I can still fit in my size small tops....with a tank top under LOL. Baby is moving non stop. Had a pretty bad scare in the car this week. Thought I was gonna black out! YIKES!!! I got really dizzy and couldn't control it. Called doc and was told to start logging my dizzy spells and we would go over it at 32 week check up.
Ohhh I got another pregnancy massage this week ;-). It was lovely.
Other then that nothing new. Picking up items we still need here and there. Hopefully will get the nursery done soon!

30 Weeks Pregnant

Now last week I was 30 weeks pregnant. And OMG it was a hard week for me. So I already new at 28 weeks baby was breached plus I knew because well I could feel her in both my rib cakes at the same time! So I am pretty positive that she turned. All last week I had horrible pains and pressure. I was miserable. And by the end of the week I only feel her down low and up high. We shall see at my next ultrasound at 32 weeks.
I had a doctors appt. this week for my 30 week check up. So far I have gained 18 pounds which I consider good! Doc told me to eat more and so I am LOL. I registered for the hospital while I was there and informed the doc that I scheduled our hospital tour. I don't plan on taking classes since I did all of those with big sis.
At this doc appt the doc asked a bunch of questions like what kind of BC do I want to use after birth. Do I plan to breast feed. If I go into labor before my scheduled c section at 39 weeks I can come in and say HEY I want my c section! or I can try a vback it's up to me at this point. I'm still scared to try a vback due to the horrible experience I had with my daughter. Doc said this baby is very unlikely to be OP like she was. But again it's totally up to me how I want to deliver. He also told me that after 32 weeks NO traveling to the coast, which is 4 hours away. He doesn't want me delivering at the coast....neither do I LOL! Let's see....what else did the good doc tell me to do...OH! Call him if I have any contractions bleeding water breaks all the big signs of YOUR IN LABOR. And if at any time I don't feel baby move for 4 hours straight to go lie down in a quiet dark place see if I can feel her and still nothing call him.
And by the way YES I plan on breastfeeding. I plan on nursing full time for as long as possible/pumping. AND I am planning on cloth diapering. So as of now I'm trying to find some cloth diapering mommas I can get advise from!

OH! Went ahead and set up some of the baby gear! All was given to us THANK YOU FRIENDS XOXO Except the Arms Reach Co Sleeper. I got that for a great price on Craigslist. The couple bought it brand new and only used it for a few weeks. I wanted it because I plan on having a csection and nursing for as long as possible. This bassinet can be used closer to 6 months instead of just barely 3 months like normal bassinets.

29 Weeks Pregnant

OMG!!! Boo on me! I can't believe I have gotton so far behind!
OK well back when I was 29 weeks pregnant I had my BABY SHOWER!!! It was a perfect shower. My Aunts threw it for me at La Madeline restaurant. My MIL ordered cute cupcakes with babies on them and strawberry cake balls YUMMM! I got lots of cute stuff and some beautiful hand made items from my Aunt. Love them!
This week was also Spring Break. OHHHH yah now I remember why I got behind LOL! My daughter was horribly sick all week. High fevers ect. Thanks goodness momma did NOT get sick. YAHHH ME! But it was an exhausting week.
After the shower I made my list of things I still need....which is a LOT. EACK!

28 weeks pregnant

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY! This week I went for a follow up ultrasound to check on my low lying placenta. And guess what.... ALL CLEAR!!! HAPPY DANCE HAPPY DANCE! So no restrictions for ME!
Baby is beached but has time to flip. Hope she does because she is beating up both sides of my rib cage at the same time.
Baby weighs 2 lbs 15 oz. That's almost THREE POUNDS! Goodness! And in her sono picture it kinda looks like she has HAIR! LOL
Let's see what else this week....I gained a lil weight. Guess that's what happens when the doc orders you to EAT. OHHHHH!!!! And my baby shower is this Saturday! I started receiving gifts in the mail from out of town guests. How exciting! I also got in the mail the vintage 7 year baby record book that I ordered off of Ebay. LOVE IT! It's that same one that I used for for my older daughter.
Alright ya'll next week I'll be able to share about my baby shower! Can't wait to see fam & friends, eat good food and cake and BABY STUFF!

27 weeks

Well last week....sorry....I was 27 weeks ;-). Nothing exciting. Baby was moving a lot. I've been feeling fine. Getting anxious about the weeks flying by. Thinking of how blessed I am to be the one to carry this little bundle of joy inside of me for 9 months ;-)
I DID go and find my dress for my baby shower! And I ended up buying two pairs of maternity leggings for the summer and two summer tops, it was a buy one get one free deal! I tried on some maternity shorts and BAHAHAHAHAHAHA I almost died laughing. My little chicken legs looked ridiculous. So it's dresses and leggings for this momma!

Here's my 27 week pic!

26 Weeks Pregnant

I feel like I have really POPPED...so not comfortable LOL. Even hubby said WOAH that belly has grown! LOL
So week 26 has been pretty good. Baby girl is kicking all the time and I do mean like ALLL NIGHT LONGGGGGG. Oh and I got my first Braxton Hick this week. Woke me right out of my sleep! I had them a lot with my older daughter so we shall see how this pregnancy goes.
Hmmm what else! Well we finished more of the baby bedding! The diaper stacked, crib blanket and organizer! And my baby shower invitations went to all my guests! Super excited about that!
Other then that I have just been starting to get a little stressed about making sure we hurry up and get ready for baby to be here and how my older daughter will be cared for when I go in for my csection. Since she will still have two weeks of school at that point. That really stresses me out LOL.

Brainstorming on how I want to make the DIY mobile and what decorations I want to use on the wall :-) I think I need the crib and dresser in the room so I can get INSPIRED!

Here's my belly pic!

25 weeks pregnant

So 25 weeks pregnant went pretty well ;-). Only issue I had was ....dizzy spells. I tarted having episodes were I got blurred vision and dizzy. I called my doc and he had me come in to check my blood pressure but blood pressure was fine. He asked me how my glucose test came back. I told him ummmm....wellll....I never got a call back so I ASSUMED I passed. Doc checked the results and found that my blood sugar was actually very low for some one who just drank a bunch of sugar. He asked me how much I eat. And I admitted I'm not the best at remembering to eat. I do eat I just don't eat a lot. My snacks are fruit & veggies. Doc says my body over produces insulin so I need to EAT... and he isn't talking about fruits and veggies he wants me to eat snacks all day long anything to get carbs ect. in me. I'm suppose to call him on Monday to tell him how I'm doing.
Besides that week 25 was great! We finished painting the nursery  Grape Hyacinth 25% lighter. And I finished the curtains and put them up on a beautiful curtain rod from Lowe's. And my Aunt finished the crib bumper! So excited!
I also found a cloth diaper at Target called Charlie Banana that has disposable inserts. AWESOME! I'm really wanting to use these! I bought one to start. I plan on getting one a week until baby comes. I also added them to my registry. I'll put up a separate post about it ;-).
As for me still at 10 lbs, still wearing normal tops but size 1 or SX maternity jeans. It's getting harder to shave or get comfy and I certainly can't eat large meals at one time. I fill up immediately. Baby is always in my rib cage.
OH OH OH!! Hubby got me a gift certificate for a massage at Blooming Pregnancy for my Valentines Day gift! I'm going to make myself try to wait on using it LOL....this will be hard.
