Update for being MIA - and will continue to be MIA.

For a little while anyway.

I ended up making my first trip to L&D, my BP has been elevated and there were trace amounts of protein. So I have been put on complete bedrest. My due date was Monday. I was really hoping that I would be talking induction, because of all of this and her size I'm so done being pregnant!

They will not induce until I'm 42 weeks. She was 8lbs 9oz according to the ultrasound I had 2 weeks ago. I thought Brandon was big at 9lbs 6oz - looks like this one is going to be much bigger.

I have to go for a NST twice a week and I might be able to sched the induction at my next appt.

I'm still not dilating or anything so I've pretty much given up the hope of going on my own. She is going to be as stubborn as her sister! LOL

Looking at my calendar 2 weeks from today is the release party for Capture Cincinnati. Looks like I might not be able to make it.

Is it November yet?

Well I went to the Dr yesterday. Nothing is happening yet. I was like this with Stacey and she was 10 days late.

I don't think that they will let me go that far over, especially considering Brandon was 9lb 6oz!

I'm really hoping to actually go on my own and not be induced this time, but I guess all we can do is wait and see.

4 weeks left!

Its been a little while since I have updated on how things are going with the baby. I had an ultrasound earlier this week because I was measuring big. Everything looks great, she is about 6 lbs right now. They said that I could have just been measuring big because of the way she was laying.

I'm 36 weeks now so I get to start my weekly visits!!! It won't be too much longer now!!!

I still have so much to do to prepare, though I did finally get her bassinet and get it put together. I still need to pack my hospital bag and wash all her clothes.

I'll update again after my next appointment on Tuesday!

Coming down the home stretch!!!

I know its been awhile since my last update! Things have been simply CRAZY around here!

I'm now 32 weeks. My Dr appts are every 2 weeks now instead of every 4! That just means we are getting closer!!! Woo-hoo! I can't wait to meet this baby girl!

I still have a ton of stuff to do to get ready for her arrival, mass amounts of clothes to go through and wash, the bassinet to put together.

I have been sick with a cold, so on top of not being able to sleep well because of the pregnancy, I have been kept up all night coughing and sneezing. Needless to say I'm in a constant state of exhaustion. Hopefully I can shake this, and soon!!!

The Capture Cincinnati contest is coming to a close, be sure to click the link to the right and VOTE for my pics!!! Also keep checking back as I will be adding more in the next few days.

I'll be posting another update soon, with pics!!!

The joys of pregnancy!

First I just wanted to mention that the blood work and everything came back normal! Woo-hoo! I don't have to go back to the Dr till the beginning of Sept. and I will be 31 weeks then.

I have started having those wonderful Braxton Hicks contractions, the ones that don't hurt but can be annoying!! I didn't have them with Stacey, and I didn't have them until later with Brandon. Hey maybe this time they will actually turn into something at the end of the pregnancy and I will have her on my own instead of being induced!!

This little girl is VERY active. She also seems to have a routine down. Active in the morning after I have been up for about an hour. Then in the evening after dinner. THEN all night long when I'm trying to sleep!!! LOL

Stacey has felt her move, and is still excited about her baby sister. She is always talking about how she is going to have a tea party with her and share her dolls and toys with her. She also insists that she is going to change her baby sister's diaper "all by myself."

She was talking to a little boy about her baby sister, she talks about her to everyone she sees! But she happened to mention the fact that she is going to change her diaper and the little boy responded "No that would be too stinky." Stacey still insisted she is going to do it though!

I have a feeling that once the baby gets here she will change her mind really fast!

Another (sorta) update.

I have had a headache that started on Monday and has not gone away. I have also had a couple of episodes of spots before my eyes. So far my BP has been OK but they are having me do a 24hr urine and then some blood work just to be on the safe side.

Other that getting the order for that and being told to rest as much as possible. Things were uneventful at the Dr.'s office today.

If things look ok with the tests then I don't have to go back until Sept. otherwise they will have me in a lot sooner.

I'll update once I hear something.

Not much, but it is an update.

I haven't been feeling too great recently, thats the reason for no real posts. I have a Dr. appointment on Wed. so hopefully I will have more of an update then.

I did go for my 1hr glucose test this past Wed. I haven't heard anything so I'm guessing it went well. I know I will find out for sure at my upcoming appointment, but I would think that if I had failed it they would have called.

I'll be posting some more soon!

Capri - Colbie Caillat

I found this song today and I love it!! It is a perfect song for any mother to be. I think that this video I found on YouTube fits the song perfectly as well.

Can't keep it quiet any longer!

It has been 3 weeks since my ultrasound. The day of I wanted to immedietly get online and tell the world the big news. However there is something to be said about having that piece of information and keeping it quiet.

I'm so horrible at keeping secrets I'm surprised I lasted this long!

ITS A. . . .















GIRL!!!!

Ultrasound!

I'm not going to disclose what we are having just yet! LOL

I just had to let everyone know that the baby looks great! Also it looks like the baby is on track to be closer to the size of Stacey (7lbs 3oz) than Brandon (9lbs 6oz!) Which is great news for me! LOL

That is something that we will be keep a close eye on as this pregnancy progresses.

Go play my guessing game! There is a link over to the right!

Guessing Game!

I found this really cool game for guessing about the baby! Feel free to join in!




There is a points system for tallying the winner so keep watching and once the baby arrives I'll announce the winner!

Pregnancy Update!

I don't really have a lot to update. I'm now 19 weeks.

Morning sickness while I had it was really bad but it has really eased up in the past couple of weeks. I'm still getting really bad headaches. Other than that I feel great!!!

I had a Dr. appointment today, it went very well the baby's heartbeat sounds great! I have my ultrasound scheduled for the 19th! WOO-HOO!!!

I am not alone

Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within.
