Getting Closer.....

Well we made it home from our trip safe and sound! We had alot of fun in the Black Hills and the trip went by way to fast!! Since we have been back we have been very busy getting the nursery ready, its almost there but not quite. By the next time I go to the doc it should be all done and I can show you guys some pics! I did go to the Dr on Thursday the 14th. On the Wednesday right before my appointment I was having really bad cramping so I had called in to see what I should do and they told me unless they get to a point where I can time them or have any blood then I can wait untill my appt to come in since it was right away in the morning. They did go away by Wednesday afternoon and the Dr said they could have been contractions or they an be caused by alot of things. She told me to try to drink more water since I am not drinking enough and see if that helps at all. She did check and everything is measuring perfect and the Baby Girl's heart beat was very strong! I have started feeling a little more nauseated again though and she just said its because she is getting bigger and pushing on my stomach more, and let me tell you this little girl is a mover!! Seems like she is always on the move in my stomach. Also I am still having welling in my feet and ankles and now also in my hands but that is very normal and drinking more water should help that as well. I go back to the Dr on the 26th for my last 2 week appt and then I start going every week. She will be here before we all know it, and I can't wait to meet her!!!

Getting Closer!!

8 Month Check Up

Hello all sorry im so behind! I kind of skipped a month in there so we can cover both monthly check ups quick. At my seven month check up I had to do my lovely glucose test and the had to check my blood, all the fun testing! Besides getting a little shaky after drinking all that sugar everything turned out really good all my tests were normal! So that was very nice to hear. Last week on the 28th I had my eight month check up and that was my last monthly check up. Grammar Connie got to go with me for that check up and hear baby girls heartbeat for the first time! Everything sounded really good and everything is measuring perfect so we are right in track. I will be going to the doctor every two weeks now so were getting really close! In between my two check ups we did have a little scare however. I had been feeling really light headed and dizzy for a few days so I called and the dr wanted to see me. Unfortunately my doctor was on vacation so I saw the on call doctor. They were asking me a series of questions and asked it I had been having any back pain, which I had because im getting pretty big, and when the doctor went to check the babies heartbeat to make sure everything sounded good my stomach felt really hard. So she said not trying to scare however me that they were going to bring me to the hospital part of the clinic so they could monitor me. Late I found out she thought I was going into preterm labor. So they took my blood and ran a bunch of tests, did another ultrasound, and had me hooked up to the machines so to see if I was having contractions and to.listen to the babies heartbeat.  Everything turned out to be fine so it was just a false alarm but it was nice to see our baby again wih the ultrasound! They said my back pain is just cuz im getting bigger and my light headdedness is because the baby is laying on the artery that brings blood back up from my legs to my heart. I just have to make sure sure im walking around every few hours and no sleeping on my back. Other than that everything has been good except some swelling in my ancles and feet. We have been working really hard on the nursery and it is about finished so I will post pictures when its all done. We are currently in the black hills for vacation and will return home on Tuesday the 5th. The weather is amazing, and I will also post pictures of the vacation when we get home! Love ya all!!
