28 week update

Baby Update!
We had our 28 week doctors appointment this last Tuesday. Had to drink my orange glucose drink (for gestational diabetes) and it wasn't as bad as what everyone said. It kinda fizzled and burned the back of my throat but it wasn't as bad as I expecting. After you drink the stuff you can't eat afterwards. So we made an early appointment and so John could be there and so I could eat. They drew my blood first and said the results would come back 24-48 hours later. We then had to wait back in the the waiting room for them to call us back to see the doctor. Again we saw a different doctor this time. We like to meet them all so then the day we do deliver we have at least met all the doctors. We do have favorites but I'm sure all of them will do a fine job. Here are some results from the appointment

MEASURING: 28-29 WEEKS
HEARTBEAT: 140 BPM anything that's 117-160 BPM is healthy
WEIGHT: Every time I go in I actually turn around on the scale. I never want to look at the numbers because I don't want to get obsessed with gaining weight and what the scale says. I decided this time to ask and I have only gained 24 lbs! WHAT!! I was shocked. People in my family tend to again a lot of weight when pregnant so 24 made my jaw drop. Doctor said that 20-30 is healthy so I should gain 1/2 lbs to 1 lbs a week from here on out. Even if I do gain 10 more and end of 34 at the end I'm totally OK with that. As long as the baby is healthy I'm happy.
CLASSES: Next month we start our pre-natal classes! I'm excited! Getting ready for the delivery makes it even more real. Every one's delivery is different and who know when the time comes all these things we learn from the class could go out the door but I'm excited that we are this far that we can take them! EEE!

 Oh also since the apt I got my results back about the gestational diabetes and all was normal! YAY!

There is a quick update for ya'll. Setting up the babies room this weekend. Will post when its all ready!

Love, Megan and Baby

Robin Williams - You've never had a friend like me

Two days ago at work my client told me about the passing of Robin Williams. I didn't believe him at first. Robin made so many classics. To name some...

Hook
Jumanji
Good morning Vietnam
Genie in Aladdin
Mrs. Doubtfire
Mork and Mindy
Popeye
Flubber
Dead Poets Society
Birdcage
 and many many others

 I think what also makes it hard is because everyone loves Robin Williams. I honestly don't know one person that doesn't like him. He is going to be greatly missed. Thanks for all the laughs!

Loving my stretch marks

Alright today I'm going to talk about the hated stretch marks. Its just my views and feelings on the subject and hope you enjoy reading.

At first I thought stretch marks were gross. They reminded me of those grass imprints you get when you sit on the grass for too long but purple and didn't go away. I didn't find them attractive and I didn't want one! Load me up on cocoa butter, coconut oil and any home remedy from Pinterest because I wasn't gonna get even one! Yeah right.

At 20 weeks I had one maybe two on the sides of my hips. Very small. Now that I'm 27 weeks I have gotten A LOT more. They are under my belly button area but they are there. I'm not sure if this is a normal area for stretch marks or not but that is where mine tend to be. Last night before my shower I noticed that they were in the shape of a heart. Guess what? I actually loved it! Hopefully that's not TMI but just the fact that my body can create a human is amazing! But seriously think about it. It can create a brain, a heart, fingers toes, etc its just blows in mind we have that ability.

Don't get me wrong I'm still going to use my lotions,oils and things but if they don't fade I'm not going to worry about it. I'm going to own it because bringing a beautiful, sweet loving child into the world is more important then some silly stretch mark. So with all that said I'm loving my stretch marks!

Just my thoughts on this lovely Monday. Hope you all have a great day!

These are a few of my favorite things

Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens....today I'm going to blog about a few of my favorite things. All pregnancy related. #fridayfavorites Enjoy! 

1) Baby laughs- Seriously guys I can't help but smile when a baby laughs. It's so cute and you can't help but be in a good mood. There is just something about it. Can't wait to hear our little guys giggle :) 

2) Baby clothes- This is a dangerous one!  Mini man clothes get me every time. They are so tiny and so cute! It's hard to not resist it's cuteness! 

I mean guys look at these mini shoes? We had to get them so we did :)

3)Baby kicks- Love them unless it's 3 AM and I'm trying to sleep. But its fun to think he can react to music and our voices. Always crazy when he does it's like "IT'S ALLLIVE!" Nuts to think there is an actual human inside. 

Those are just some of mine. What are your guises #fridayfavorites? 

Pregnancy Update

So I haven't been updating the blog on the pregnancy but I have been writing it all down in a journal. For me every little thing is new and exciting but I don't wanna bore you with all 6 1/2 months of details. But I will give you a quick update right now. I promise I will keep it short and sweet.

Baby boy is the most active little man ever! He kicks like crazy and I love it. Unless I'm trying to sleep. Apparently 3 AM is a great time to kick Mom! I'm usually up by 6 AM  to eat and I stay up. Clothes are getting much harder to wear. I'm growing out of everything! It's a love hate relationship really. Nothing fits but that also means shopping! My charlie horses have calmed down. Thanks Goodness! No one told me about them so they came on as a complete surprise. They are totally normal and they totally suck. Swelling depends on they day. Days its down I can still wear my wedding ring but other days my fingers feel like bananas. Speaking of bananas I eat...like I swear every hour. But if  I'm not eating I'm in the bathroom. They weren't kidding when they said you pee ALL the time when pregnant. No lie there. Not 100% set on a name. It changes....like a lot. Well there you have it. Little update on baby boy and Momma!

There you go guys! Have a fabulous rest of summer!
