34 Weeks!

Had our doctors appointment this morning. Next appointment is in 2 weeks and its every week from there! Holy crap! EEEEE!

MOMMA: 

Blood Pressure is good.

Have gained a total of 30 lbs. Doctor Thorpe said 30-35 total is just fine.

They took a urine sample to check for protein and tests came back normal

Keep up on my water intake to help with swelling

Same thing as last time. Lay down when I can to keep swelling down. 

Still have bad carpel tunnel which sucks especially at work! But will go away once he is here.

Been having Braxton Hicks still. Not a ton but they aren't comfortable at all. He says I will probably have them more at work then anywhere. He isn't worried about them. Just my body prepping for delivery. 

BABY BOY

Heartbeat 145 - we have noticed every other week it's in the 40's and the other weeks in the 30's. Like I have said before anything between 117-160 is healthy

Measuring at 34 weeks which is right where I'm supposed to be!

Found out the baby weighs 4 1/2 - 5 lbs and should be an average size baby when he arrives. 

Doctor Thorpe also wanted to make sure he wasn't breech so he pushed really hard down on my lower part of my stomach to make sure he could feel his head. He is head down which is where he is supposed to be but the pressure from him pushing kinda give me a tummy ache and feels sore but that pains should go away. Hurts mostly when I walk.Just not use to having my tummy pushed on. 

Hope that wasn't boring for you all. Next appointment is October 14th. I will keep ya posted. 

32 weeks appointment update!

Went to the doctors yesterday. Here is an update on whats going on with momma and baby.

MOMMA: My BP and weight are fine. Just continue to eat healthy.. I do have carpel tunnel in my right hand due to swelling. My thumb, index and middle go numb and are numb pretty much all day. Hard to cut hair with numb hands! Because of my swelling the doctor doesn't want the swelling turn into toxemia/pre-clampsia so to avoid it from turning into that  he said that every chance I get to lay on my left side which will help the swelling go down. Besides that momma is doing great!

BABY: 

HB 133

Measuring where he is supposed to and doctor said he is nice and healthy

Will gain half a pound each week here on out.

It was a quick visit and we loved Dr Wolsey. My appointment are now every 2 weeks until 36 weeks then will go weekly. Weekly appointments the doctor will check for any dialation! Holy crap he is going to be here sooner then we think! Due date is November 10th, latest they will induce me is the 17th. Really hoping to induce naturally and not be induced by the doctor but we will see how things pan out!

Keep ya posted!

XOXO

Momma and Baby 

32 weeks. 8 to go!

Wow! Time flies!  Can't believe we only have 8 weeks left and that's if he arrives on time. John and I had a 5 hour pre-natal class Saturday. That's right 5 hours. It actually was very informative! We went over when to admit to the hospital, contractions, epidurals, cesarean, natural births,water breaking, all the things we will be hooked up to during labor, forceps, vacuum, hospital bags, breathing, insurance, what to expect from the doctors, pre clampsia you name it! Luckily we had a break and they had some food for us. Crazy this isn't too far away.
Update on myself: Recently I have been waking up with numb hands. Pretty sure it's carpel tunnel and should go away after pregnancy. We are going to confirm with the doctor on Wednesday during our next appointment. But I will say it's hard to cut hair with numb hands. I have had some Braxton Hicks but not many. It just feels like period cramping and your stomach gets really hard like. They are very short and not long. It just means we are closer to our little guy! That's about it. We will keep ya posted.
We are exited for him to finally be here. Also been wondering if he will look more like mommy or daddy!?!  We will see!

Let the 5 hour class begin!

31 weeks in this picture but close enough.

30 weeks!

HOLY CRAP! We have 10 weeks people! That is so nuts to me. Its creeping up so fast. Here is whats going on right now

CRAVINGS: Sweet potato fries, banana nut bread and chocolate covered raisins. Seriously guys I can't get enough.
SLEEPING: Not happening. I wake up so early and usually stay awake. Ugh.
SWELING: You should see my feet. They are huge. My fingers don't feel too swollen but my wedding ring doesn't fit 90% of the time. :(
KICKS: Baby boy kicks me all the time! I mean I love it but when it starts to hurt I'm not so much of a fan. Still kicks more for me then John.

Super quick update! Will keep ya posted
