Poor 3rd child... I'm so on top of things right now. <br />
<br />
Here's a quick update on how things are going. I'm exactly 39 weeks today and baby Anna dropped more last night. This has made my breathing a little bit better and my waddling a little bit worse. I've been sore for over 2 months now, so getting around has been a challenge. Walking is super painful and I'm beyond caring what I look like.... although I did tell Jason "it's not waddling, it's swagger". He didn't agree but that's ok. It made me feel better :). <br />
<br />
Baby is around 7-ish lbs right now and 20-ish inches long. So specific, right? She's about the size of a pumpkin, which I believe. I've been waiting for the fruit-vegetable comparisons to line up with how I'm feeling and it only took 39 weeks 😂.<br />
<br />
The kids are ready for her to make her appearance. Logan is on Fall break for school and apparently he has been talking about the baby a lot in school. His teacher said he has to bring a baby picture to class once she's born. He has been so sweet. Every night, he says "goodnight" to the baby, kisses my belly, and tells her "you're so cute". He says he's going to help with the baby after she's born, but laughs when I tell him she'll poop a lot and require lots of diaper changes. Oh well... baby steps, I suppose. Elise doesn't seem to be overly interested in the baby or her movements. I'm not sure if she's just super chill about it or if she's ignoring the fact that she won't be the youngest or the only girl anymore. She surprised me earlier this week by saying she's so excited about seeing the baby but she hasn't said much since then :). I think they will both be great with her when she finally makes her appearance.<br />
<br />
As with my other 2 pregnancies, my body is rebelling against dairy. I'm also having a TON of Braxton Hicks contractions. The combination of these 2 things is making me question whether I'm starting to have real contractions or if I'm just experiencing indigestion pains. Either way, it has been very uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
My 39 week checkup is tomorrow and the doctor will be checking to see if I'm dilated and effaced at all. Hopefully the raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil have been helping! Anna has been head-down for a while, but she's kind-of sideways. My midwife suggested wearing a belly band or tying something around my belly to try keeping her in an upright position. When I was in labor with Elise, the nurse had to tie a sheet around my belly. Why are my kids so stubborn? <br />
<br />
<br />
39 Week Appointment Update:<br />
I had my appointment today and I consented to a cervix check. The nurse said it's soft but closed. The baby is head-down but not engaged... so there's nothing going on yet. I'm not really discouraged yet because I'm only 39 weeks but I'm really hoping things will start happening over the next week so I can avoid a C-section.Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-77536416616979663542017-09-03T22:19:00.000-04:002017-09-03T22:20:09.999-04:00Birth Plan #3!I sat down to write my birth plan for this baby and laughed when I looked over my previous plans. I deleted the parts about "no pain medication" and "no interventions". I think those could've been realistic had I not been attempting my first VBAC and if they hadn't hooked me up to pitocin as soon as I arrived. Anyway... this one is a bit more flexible since I'm attempting a repeat VBAC and there are a lot more ifs involved. Here it is for anyone who might be interested :).<br />

My last
post was at 11 weeks, so here's an update. We found out we're having a
girl on May 18th. Logan was upset because he really wanted a little
brother, but he got over the disappointment pretty fast. Now he says
goodnight to my belly every night and he loves to feel her kicks. It's
really sweet watching the kids experience this pregnancy since they're a
bit older now. They went to my 26 week checkup last week and heard her
heartbeat, which they said was really cool.<br />
<br />
We
traveled to Oregon a couple weeks ago and it was nice to spend time with
my family. The kids got to do loads of fun stuff while we were there
and the weather was amazing (in my opinion). It was in the 60's and
70's during our entire stay, which was a welcome break from Atlanta's
80's and HUMID that we returned to. Summers here are my least favorite,
especially when I'm pregnant. I basically turn into a hermit and hide
in air conditioned places :). <br />
<br />
While we were in Oregon, I
started having very sharp pelvic pains. They come and go and don't
seem to affect the baby but they still worry me a bit. The doctor I saw
yesterday (the same one that delivered Logan) said it sounds like they
are just stretching pains, but I think it's something else. They feel
more like nerve pain and at times hurt so bad I can barely walk. I will
probably ask a different doctor for her opinion but in the meantime,
warm baths and a heating pad (not together) seem to help alleviate the
pain. I've also been having Braxton Hicks contractions for at least a
month. <br />
<br />
Baby is now the size of an eggplant and
she kicks a lot, especially when I try going to sleep at night. She
might be a bit of a night owl. She has certainly been keeping me awake
at night. She moves a lot when I eat and she seems to like hearing the
kids talk. I have another ultrasound (and my glucose test) next week.
They will be checking her heart again now that she's bigger. Prayers
for a normal healthy heart are appreciated!<br />
<br />
That's about all I have for now. I will try to post more consistently going forward :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-14861692309954895182017-03-20T15:52:00.002-04:002017-03-20T15:55:59.390-04:00Catching Up - Baby #3It appears that I have been slacking quite a lot. During my previous pregnancies, I started writing posts as early as 7 weeks. While I got my "big fat positive" test at 4 weeks this time, here I am writing my first post at nearly 12 weeks. Oops.<br />
<br />
When I first started this blog, I was pregnant with Logan, so the title "3 Snookies" seemed to be appropriate since he was the 3rd member of the family. I'm pretty happy with myself now because I'm carrying our third Snookie, so it finally makes sense again 😃. Bear with me.... it's the little things that make me happy 😉.<br />
<br />
Since I'm nearing the end of my 1st trimester, I'll briefly recap the past 8 weeks. Nausea and exhaustion. That's about it, lol. I took a positive test on January 24th, 2017 and was able to keep it a secret (from ALMOST everyone) until I announced to my parents on February 10th, their anniversary. The public announcement was on February 14th and I kind-of went all-out with pictures, making shirts for myself and the kids, etc. Jason said I went a little overboard, but since this is most likely our last baby, I wanted to have fun with it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the symptoms. I have nausea almost all day, every day. It progressively gets worse throughout the day. Multiple times I've thought bad thoughts toward the person who coined the term "morning sickness". Lies. All lies. I thought I was tired with my other 2 pregnancies... after all, I did work full-time and was chasing a toddler with the second one. However, this one seems to trump the others. I have to plan my days out carefully because I'm fairly limited by my energy. I run a couple of errands (max) in the morning and then I try to do a couple of chores when I get home. After 1pm, though, I'm pretty much useless. I've somehow managed to make dinner every night, even when I'm feeling super nauseated. Also, I keep the kids alive all day, so... Boom. My house might be a disaster, but we're all surviving. I consider that a victory. Another strange symptom I've had is the chills. It's like when you get a fever and your body feels freezing cold, no matter how many layers you have on. That happens to me every day, so I have to stay bundled up in blankets on the couch.<br />
<br />
This pregnancy has had some fun up-sides, though. Since Logan is 5 and Elise is 3, they both kind-of understand what's going on and they like arguing about whether the baby is a boy or a girl. They both want a little sidekick. I have a feeling that they'll both be super excited with whatever it ends up being and we should hopefully find out around Logan's birthday. They also love me telling them how big the baby is. It started out as a poppy seed, then progressed to a blueberry (which they thought was hilarious), raspberry, and now a fig. Sharing the whole experience with them has been a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
My food of choice has been: nothing<br />
Cravings: chicken gravy (weird, I know)<br />
Aversions: I don't really care for chicken (at least when I have to cook it)<br />
Weight loss/gain: -10lbs<br />
<br />
That's all for now. Until next week 😊Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-73294450289517222072014-01-21T23:00:00.001-05:002014-01-21T23:00:17.015-05:001 Month PostpartumHappy 1 month old, Elise! I can't believe it has already been this long yet at the same time when I think about the past 4 weeks, a lot has happened...<br />
<br />
Elise has had 2 doctor appointments since her original newborn checkup. At birth she was 7 lbs 15 oz and 20.5" long. At her 2 week appointment she was 9 lbs 1 oz and 21" long (I think). Today she is 10 lbs 13 oz and 22.5" long. I guess this leads me to the topic of breastfeeding... baby girl loves to eat! ;) When we were in the hospital and for the first few days after we came home, we supplemented a little bit with some formula. Once my milk came in (holy milk, batman!) Elise was all about breastfeeding. She's a bit of a breastmilk snob now. Jason has tried giving her the formula bottles when I'm out running errands but she doesn't want anything to do with them. I think they have even turned her off of bottle feeding in general because he has tried giving her milk that I've pumped and she doesn't like drinking it from a bottle. It might just be the bottle itself, though, so we might have to try different brands to see what she likes. Anyway, I breastfed Logan and we overcame many obstacles (2 open heart surgeries & stays in the hospital, teething, growth spurts, working full-time, etc.) so feeding Elise has been a breeze in comparison. My supply is pretty solid right now so I've been trying to pump at least once a day to build up a little supply in the freezer.<br />
<br />
I guess I should backtrack a bit to our time in the hospital and updates from labor and whatnot. Since I got an episiotomy, I had to be stitched up. I don't know how many stitches I got but I think they have healed/dissolved because I haven't felt them or been in any pain for a couple of weeks. I had contractions for about a week after delivery, especially when nursing but nothing since. The postpartum bleeding lasted about 3.5 weeks but has pretty much stopped. All the swelling and water retention from pregnancy went away within the first 2 weeks. I almost have all the feeling back in my right index and middle fingers from the carpal tunnel I developed in the third trimester. I thought it would go away immediately (along with the swelling) but it didn't. <br />
<br />
I gained a total of 36 lbs during the pregnancy. When I weighed myself at 3 weeks postpartum I had lost 37 lbs. Thank God for breastfeeding ;). I'm wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans again but my belly is still larger than it was before. My weight seems to have been redistributed to different parts of my body :P.<br />
<br />
My hormones have normalized a bit... I did have some postpartum blues during the first week but they went away quickly. During that time, I really wanted to go back and stay in the hospital. I think it was a combination of feeling so grateful for their support of my vbac and them waiting on me hand and foot ;). Things were just easier there. Once we came home, reality set in so I had some mixed emotions. Emotionally I'm pretty cool now :). My hair is starting to dry out, though, so I'm getting it chopped this weekend. My skin has been fairly dry too, which is a welcome change from the usual oil slick.<br />
<br />
All-in-all things have been going well. Elise is a great burper so she hasn't had the bellyaches that Logan had. As a result, she sleeps much better than he did. She's still a baby, though, so we have a lot of room for improvement in the sleep area :). We all love her like crazy, especially Logan. He just adores his sister, "baby Halise" :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-27405482023179079902013-12-29T16:39:00.001-05:002013-12-29T16:40:15.394-05:00December 21 - Elise's birth storyI'm going to attempt to type out Elise's labor and delivery story, even though some of it was a bit fuzzy at the time... which means it's even more fuzzy now :). I'll try my best, though.<br />
<br />
I started having random contractions on Wednesday night, December 18th. I was hoping they would pick up speed on Thursday but they pretty much stayed the same. I went in to work for half a day Thursday but told my boss I would not be back on Friday... I was determined ;). I went home and tried to get things in order. I had a feeling we might need to clean things up, so I had Jason help me get the guest bedroom ready, just in case we had to have his mom stay with Logan overnight. As we were making the bed, I felt a warm gush and just knew my water had broken. I told Jason as I ran to the bathroom and he said "are you sure you didn't just pee your pants?" I was sure ;). I called my doctor's office and they told me it wasn't an emergency but that I should pack my things and come to the hospital. We contacted Jason's parents and they headed to our house. We left the house and arrived at the hospital around 10pm and they were expecting us.<br />
<br />
They took me to room B2 and checked me to make sure my water had actually broken and it had. They hooked me up to the fetal and contraction monitors, IV (fluids & penicillin every 4 hours for Group B Strep), drew blood and basically told me to get comfortable because I wasn't leaving until the baby was here. When they checked my cervix, I was only dilated to about 1cm and I think I was about 70-80% effaced. I was starting to feel the contractions more but they were still coming at only about every 10-15 minutes. I think they waited to check me again until the next morning and I had dilated to 3cm. My doctor (Dr. Lambert) had gotten to work at this point so he told the nurse to start me on pitocin to get my contractions going in a better pattern (more frequent and intense). I had been dealing with the pain fairly well until then but the pitocin (aka Devil's venom) put me over the edge. I finally requested the epidural, which the nurse thought would help me relax enough to dilate more. When the anesthesiologist showed up, I was <b>ready</b> for the drugs. I seriously almost gave that man a hug. Anyway, once it kicked in, I was much more comfortable and was able to rest a little bit. Soon after they gave it to me, they told me I was no longer able to eat or drink and that I was only allowed to have some ice chips. They kept pumping fluids into my IV, so I guess that was supposed to keep me from getting dehydrated.<br />
<br />
I really wish I had snuck a Zantac at some point that morning because my heartburn was really horrible. When they checked me again in the afternoon, I had dilated to 5cm and was about 90% effaced but baby Elise was still really high up and definitely not in position in my pelvis. The nurse had me trying all sorts of different positions in the bed to try and get the baby to drop. Since I had the epidural, I wasn't allowed to get out of the bed to squat or walk or anything like that. One of the positions she had me try was lying on my side with one leg propped in the air and the other leg straight out. I had to roll over about every 20 minutes and one such roll made me really nauseous. The nausea combined with my heartburn made me throw up and when I threw up, I had a heart palpitation. I've had these since I was really young and they used to be much more frequent but even now when I get them, they only last about 5 minutes and then they go away after I lie down and breathe slowly. Well... that wasn't the case this time. The nurse called the doctor and a cardiac team and soon there were about a dozen doctors in my room asking me questions, hooking me up to an EKG, doing an echo on my heart, and monitoring my heart along with the baby's. The baby was completely content so they didn't freak out as much as they could've but after all the tests came back showing that everything was normal, they decided to try a beta blocker first and when that didn't work they tried another drug that started with a D (don't remember), which finally brought my heart rate back to a normal level. They said it had been about 20 beats higher than the baby's which was averaging around 130. The palpitation had lasted about a total of 30 minutes, which I thought "of course this had to happen while I'm in a hospital", oy :). After all of this, they determined that I have what they called SVT, which is <a href="http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/tc/supraventricular-tachycardia-overview">Supraventricular tachycardia</a> and sounds like nothing to be really concerned about but they still kept me hooked up to a monitor for the duration of the delivery.<br />
<br />
After my SVT episode, they started the pitocin drip again and Dr. Lambert continued to check on me to make sure I was feeling ok. I was making progress yet it was very slow. I was sure Dr. Lambert was going to get tired of waiting and just tell me it was time to have another C-section but as long as I made some kind of progress, he gave me "2 more hours" each time, which kept me going. Late Friday night, my epidural stopped working. The anesthesiologist came back to my room and tried giving me another dose of pain killers, but they didn't work. The nurse called him back and he redid the epidural completely. It worked pretty well but I still felt pain in my lower abdomen. Even so, there wasn't much that he or anyone else could do about it so I just dealt with it. At 2am on Saturday I was dilated to 9.5 and was 90% effaced. Baby Elise was still really high, though. My nurse continued to do whatever she could to try and get the baby to drop. Elise was also in a bad position in my belly... she liked to curl up to the side. One thing the nurse did was tie a sheet around my belly to keep the baby in the center of my belly. It was kinda comical, really. At some point early Saturday morning, the 2nd epidural stopped working. A 3rd anesthesiologist came to the room and ended up redoing the epidural for a 3rd time. Again, it worked ok but I still felt pain. As a side note, anytime a new doctor or nurse came to my room, they commented on the excitement I caused earlier... apparently "that girl in B2" had quite a reputation :).<br />
<br />
At 4am I was 10cm dilated and 100% effaced. The baby was still really high up, though, so the nurse was getting a bit discouraged and wasn't sure if I would be able to avoid a C-section or not. At 5:30am we decided that I should start pushing along with my contractions to see if I could move the baby into a better position. After about 30-45 minutes of pushing, the nurse started getting really excited, saying "you're doing it!". My doctor came in around 6:30 (I think) and was pleasantly surprised. He said he had come in to talk to me about moving forward with a C-section but he could see that I was making progress and that I was doing a great job. I could definitely feel pressure from the baby moving into position so I set a goal for myself of 7:30am. It seemed reasonable at the time but time really went by fast while I was pushing. I think it was around 7:30 when the nurse called for the doctor and a team to come prep for delivery. I was pretty delirious at this point. Even though contractions were coming every few minutes, I kept falling asleep in-between them. My eyes were so swollen that I finally told Jason to tell me when another contraction was starting (yes, I felt them but they were hard to recognize between the pain and pressure of the baby's position).<br />
<br />
Everyone who was in the room was encouraging me and telling me to push harder. I was getting a bit frustrated at that point because it was a little after 8:00 and she still hadn't come out. My nurse from overnight (Mary) even stayed past the time she was supposed to leave because she wanted to see Elise born :). I kept pushing and just about the time when I was going to request an episiotomy (or anything to get her out), the doctor gave me one. With my next push at 8:17am, she came out and they put her on my chest while they massaged her to get her breathing. It was a really crazy moment... I was exhausted beyond words but so happy at the same time. This experience was so different than Logan's birth (c-section). I got to have skin-to-skin contact with Elise right away, they honored my request of delayed cord clamping, and I was able to start nursing her within 30 minutes of her birth. Before the nurses did anything with/to Elise, they asked me if it was ok. <br />
<br />
Baby Elise is absolutely perfect. She has my chin, Jason's toes, and she has such a sweet temperament. She rarely cries, she loves to snuggle, and she eats and burps like a champ :). She was 7 lbs 15oz and 20.5" long and is a beautiful little girl :). Even though my labor and delivery didn't go exactly as planned, I was able to successfully achieve a VBAC after 36 hours of labor. Elise (or "baby Halise", as Logan lovingly calls her) is here, healthy, and I will always be grateful to the doctors and nurses who helped her to get here safely :).<br />

I really didn't think this pregnancy would last this long (I actually thought she would come early) but I've come to the conclusion that I have a very comfortable uterus which causes my children to want to hibernate for as long as possible. That and they're stubborn, which is a trait that runs in the family (I won't say which side ;)).<br />
<br />
I had my double appointment on Monday which started with a biophysical profile (ultrasound) to make sure the baby was still moving, heart rate was strong, amniotic fluid was sufficient, etc. and she passed with flying colors. From there, I waited to meet with my doctor but was thrown a bit of a curveball. He was on-call and was stuck with another patient at the hospital. This didn't bother me because <b>when</b> I go into labor, I hope he makes me his priority.... so I really didn't mind waiting. The nurse was able to get Dr. Walsh, the woman doctor of the practice, to come meet with me briefly instead. I really did appreciate her taking the time to see me but she uses a very different approach than Dr. Lambert (and Dr. Barrett) does, which I <b>don't</b> appreciate. The first thing she said when she walked into the room was "so, should we go ahead and just schedule your c-section?" Dr. Lambert and I have a plan for going forward so I really want to stick with it to have the best chance of achieving my goal of a VBAC. I understand that Christmas is coming up and it could be a good idea to get on their schedule, <i>just in case</i>, but I feel that by doing so I'd be admitting defeat before I even have a good chance of going into labor spontaneously. And maybe it's just me, I don't know, because another girl I spoke to while we were in the waiting room said that she had a successful VBAC with Dr. Walsh and she had nothing but good things to say about her.<i> </i>Anyway, I told her about my plan with Dr. Lambert and that seemed to satisfy her. I asked her about doing a membrane sweep so she checked me but said I was only "fingertip dilated" so she wasn't able to do it. <br />
<br />
I scheduled a Non Stress Test for this Friday (assuming I'll still be pregnant), which is where they will strap a fetal monitor onto my belly and I get to relax for about 30 minutes while they get readings of baby's heart rate to make sure she's still doing ok. Assuming all goes well (which I'm praying it will), Dr. Lambert said he'll let me go through the weekend but if I'm still pregnant next Monday we'll have to "make a decision" (i.e. - schedule a c-section). This is where I'm a little nervous... I doubt they'll let me go past 42 weeks, which is Christmas day so they'll probably want me to schedule a c-section sometime on Monday or Tuesday. If it's Monday, I should be able to get discharged on Christmas Day but if it's on Tuesday, I'll be stuck in the hospital until the day after Christmas. I'm so excited about Christmas this year because this is the first year that Logan is really into it and I want it to be a really special day for him. I'm sure it will be regardless, but still. I'm just praying (and praying and begging and pleading) for labor to start SOON! I'm sure I've mentioned before but my doctor will not induce labor since I'm attempting a VBAC, which means labor has to start naturally/spontaneously. This leads me to my next point:<br />

I've been looking into natural methods of induction. Of course there's castor oil, evening primrose oil, blue cohosh, etc. but whenever I get my hopes up I end up reading about a negative side effect that causes me to backtrack. I actually bought some evening primrose oil capsules tonight with the intention of taking some to 'prep my cervix' but then I read that it can act as a blood thinner. In the event that I might have another c-section, I don't want to risk bleeding or hemorrhaging. I also read that it (as well as blue cohosh) can increase chances of uterine rupture... and castor oil just scares me, mainly because I don't want the baby to poop before she comes out. So I keep going back to my original decision to just wait it out and pray that baby comes :). Please cooperate, baby Elise!<br />
<br />
Not much new is going on this week other than her being lower and causing more pelvic discomfort. Sometimes when I walk around, I feel fine... other times I feel like she's about to fall out and it causes a very painful waddle. I'm sure I'm quite the sight to behold :). Everyone at work has been very sweet and supportive, even though I can tell they feel bad that I'm still there. My boss keeps commenting that he's happy I'm there and he wants me to hold out as long as possible (as if I have a say in the matter) and I finally had to tell him to stop because he was getting on my nerves ;). I have moments where I feel extremely emotional and think I'm going to have a breakdown but I've been able to 'keep my cool' pretty well so far.<br />
<br />
Here are some updates for this week:<br />
*Braxton Hicks contractions - I get them a LOT so I think my uterus has been thoroughly prepped ;).<br />
*Carpal tunnel - my right index and middle fingers are almost permanently numb as well as the tip of my thumb. My wrist brace only helps slightly. My left hand is starting to do the same thing, but not nearly as often.<br />
*My heartburn has gotten worse this week... how, I have no idea, but it's really hitting me hard.<br />
*Exhaustion - pretty self-explanatory<br />
*Swelling - Feet, ankles, arms, hands, belly, and I think I'm starting to get "prego nose"<br />
<br />
In spite of all the above, I'm actually doing ok. Just trying to take one day at a time and I know that by this time next week we'll have this sweet baby girl in our arms :).<br />
<br />
Also, on the bright side, cankles make it nearly impossible to cut my ankle area while shaving my legs... that is, providing I can actually reach my legs to shave them ;).<br />
<br />
That's all for now, folks. Prayers for labor are very appreciated!!!Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-23876857625693060992013-12-14T23:56:00.000-05:002013-12-14T23:56:51.207-05:0040 Weeks +3I know it's mid-week but I just feel like blogging something. I'm usually asleep by 10pm (whether I'm on the couch or in bed, it doesn't seem to matter) but it's 11:30 and I'm still wide awake. Maybe it's because there are Psych reruns on tv (woo!) or maybe there's something else going on? I'm hopeful but just waiting for a clear sign that labor has started (nothing yet).<br />
<br />
Jason laughed at me last night because I told him every time I woke up to go to the bathroom, I wondered "did my water break yet?" and every time the answer was no. I keep expecting to wake up with a wet bed, in pain, etc. but it hasn't happened. I'm still working full-time which has been challenging but it has given me something to do with my time. I'd probably be pretty bored if I just stayed at home all day, even though it would be nice to get some things taken care of around here. <br />
<br />
<br />
Most of our Christmas shopping is done but I do still need to make a couple of things to send to Oregon. I guess I should make that a priority tomorrow, if I'm still home :). I've been getting more pelvic and lower back pain today and was thinking maybe labor was starting but then it died down to nothing. I'm still getting plenty of Braxton Hicks contractions and I think she has dropped down into the "prime" position :). Earlier in the week I don't think she was quite low enough because when I drove over speed bumps, they didn't bother me much. Now when I drive over any bumps, I feel like I need to be sitting on a donut pillow thing. Yikes, they hurt.<br />
<br />
Baby is still active and apparently very happy where she is. I hope she decides to move out soon, though. Jason and I got most of the decals up on the walls of her bedroom and they look soooo good. I love all the little birds and the colors came together really nicely. The decor is pretty understated but classic and something she can grow into. I really like it :). I'm excited to move the crib and rocking chair in there but won't be able to do that until we buy a big boy bed for Logan (soon). I will post pictures or a short tour video when it's all put together :).<br />
<br />
Welp... almost midnight and my heartburn is still hitting me pretty hard. Ugh, I'm looking forward to not dealing with heartburn anymore. It has been pretty bad lately.<br />
<br />
Geesh, I feel knees, feet, and a butt squirming around in my belly. I'm kinda surprised that she can still move around so well. If labor doesn't start by Monday morning, I'll get to see her again on Monday afternoon during the biophysical profile (ultrasound). <br />
<br />
Anyway, I think it's time for bed. Prayers for contractions are appreciated :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-82045450412787329022013-12-10T21:14:00.001-05:002013-12-10T21:14:24.500-05:0040 Weeks!This week's Alpha Mom update is probably my favorite one ever. It goes like this:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Your Baby:
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: purple;">get out get out get out.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple;">get out get out get out get out.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><span style="color: purple;">You:</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
</span>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: purple;">get out get out get out get out get out.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple;">get out! get out get out get out.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple;">and for real: GET OUT.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: purple;">
</span><span style="color: purple;">So first, the bad news. Less than 10% of babies actually show up on
their due date. While the word “overdue” pretty much feels on par with
the f-word during the final weeks of pregnancy, the sad truth is that
many of us will end up there.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">
You may continue to trudge to work everyday, silently fuming about
how this was SO NOT WHAT YOU MEANT by your plan to “work up until your
due date.” You may start working from home, blaming an inability to fit
into your shoes or keep the bottom few inches of your belly covered...</span><br />
<br />
There's more to it but that's the basic gist :).<br />
<br />
Appointment update: I had my 40 week appointment today and the first thing the doctor asked when he walked in the room was "so how long do you want to keep this going?" My response was "as long as I can" and he basically said ok. The female doctor I saw last week seemed to be more of the opinion that I needed to schedule a c-section asap and that I wasn't allowed to go over 41 weeks. My regular OB doctor said he'll let me go over 41 but they like to monitor the baby fairly closely. Here's the gameplan going forward: my next appointment is scheduled for next Monday and they will do a 'biophysical profile' which is basically an ultrasound to make sure the baby's muscle tone, breathing function, heart rate, amniotic fluid, and my placenta are all looking healthy. As long as that's still good, I'll return on Friday (if I'm still pregnant) and they will hook me up to a fetal monitor for about 30 minutes to make sure her heart rate is good. If all is still well, he'll let me go through the following weekend but if I'm still pregnant around Monday the 23rd he said we will have to make a decision about what to do. So there's a chance she could be a Christmas Eve baby but I'm still hoping she will come sooner since my doctor won't induce for a VBAC.<br />
<br />
Anyway... currently I'm about 1cm dilated and 30% effaced & softened. Fun times. He said he could've done a membrane sweep (I need to do some research on this) but I wasn't dilated enough. I've heard that it isn't as effective until after 41 weeks anyway, but I need to look into it.<br />
<br />
As far as my carpal tunnel issues, he sent me to the pharmacy to get a wrist splint. I've been wearing it all afternoon and the numbness has mostly been replaced with tingling, so I guess that's progress. I had to take it off to type this, though, because my hand is close to worthless while it's on :).<br />
<br />
On the homefront, our Christmas tree is up, lights are on the house, and stockings are hung. I finished most of my Christmas shopping this week, just in case baby Elise decides to make an appearance. I've been getting some more painful contractions but they're very random. I was getting back pains during church on Sunday and was hopeful that it could mean impending labor but they stopped right after church, boo. If it wasn't raining constantly this week, I'd be taking walks outside to try and get labor started. I went shopping/walking at Target last night and it felt pretty good. I'm thinking about walking around the plant at work whenever I get a chance but it would be nice to get outside. Today was the first day without rain in weeks, so I'm going to recruit a couple of coworkers to go on a stroll outside with me tomorrow.<br />
<br />
My due date is tomorrow (Wednesday the 11th) but I just wanted to touch on the topic of due dates briefly. When I was pregnant with Logan, the doctor tried to give me a little heart-to-heart as I was approaching my due date. She said the due date isn't an exact science and that some doctors had been talking about changing it from a due date to a due week. While that might help most pregnant women to not lose their !@^#*$! minds at the end of their pregnancies, I don't see it happening anytime soon. And even though women know that the due date doesn't mean a baby is going to be born "on time", it's still really hard to get close or pass the due date without getting upset/emotional/anxious, etc. I tried explaining it to my boss today... when you first find out you're pregnant, you're given a date. During the 9 or so months of pregnancy, you look forward to that date with expectation and an eagerness that really can't be explained. Then you reach that date. You pass that date. Nothing happens. I have to say that I'm pretty easy to deal with when I'm pregnant... I try not to make a fuss or call more attention to myself but when I passed my due date with Logan, I was extremely upset, hormonal, emotional, etc. It's just really hard to be patient when that's what you've been doing for 9+ months straight :). I'm trying to stay calm this time while still remaining hopeful that labor will start on its own very soon. At this point in both pregnancies, I leaned on a specific scripture:<br />
<br />
Philippians 4:6-8<br />
<span class="text Phil-4-6" id="en-NIV-29449">Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.</span> <span class="text Phil-4-8" id="en-NIV-29451">And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.<sup class="versenum"> </sup>Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Phil-4-8" id="en-NIV-29451">Meditating on this has helped a little but there's still a small part of me that's anxious. Lord, please help me to get through this week if she doesn't come out!!! I will say, though, that I'm feeling much more at peace with everything since my appointment this morning. It helps to know that as long as Elise is healthy and strong in the womb, they will let me continue carrying her without worrying about a c-section. I'm not under quite as much pressure now :).</span><br />
<span class="text Phil-4-8" id="en-NIV-29451"><br /></span>
<span class="text Phil-4-8" id="en-NIV-29451">Elise has been very active this week. I've been sitting on the couch tonight watching her poke her rear, knees, and feet out of my belly. I think I even felt some toes, which was kinda cute :). I'm still getting random contractions that make it look like I'm smuggling a bowling ball. She is pretty low at this point... if she gets much lower I think she'll start to crown (I hope). </span><br />
<span class="text Phil-4-8" id="en-NIV-29451"><br /></span>
<span class="text Phil-4-8" id="en-NIV-29451">That's about it for now. I think I covered more than everything :). Will update next week or sooner if things start to happen! Prayers are appreciated ;).</span>Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-90997041642934560702013-12-09T20:49:00.002-05:002013-12-09T20:49:51.411-05:0039 WeeksEven though I'm almost 40 weeks, here's my 39 week update. The Alpha Mom update for this week says this about baby:<br />
<br />
<strong>Your Baby:</strong>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Is full-term, almost done, probably about a medium-well on the Burger Scale.</li>
<li>Is about 20 inches long and over seven pounds, maybe, depends, who knows.</li>
</ul>
I had my checkup on Monday with a doctor I've only seen one other time and the first thing she said was "has anyone told you that you have a big baby?" I told her no but she wanted me to come back on Tuesday for an ultrasound just to make sure the baby isn't getting "too big". I returned on Tuesday and the ultrasound only took about 15 minutes. The nurse took some quick measurements of the baby's head, abdomen, leg, etc. and told me her estimated weight is 8lbs 2oz. I asked what the variant was and she said 1 lb, so she's anywhere from 7 lbs 2 oz to 9 lbs 2 oz (Lord, help me). I think she's probably in the 7s or 8s but we'll find out soon enough :). The nurse said the baby is measuring perfectly for how far along I am. She tried getting a good view of baby's face but things were pretty squished. The nurse did tell me that Elise has chubby cheeks and I laughed. When I told Jason his response was "shocking". I guess she's going to have the Kowing cheeks too. Lucky her! ;)<br />
<br />
Not much new has happened this week. I'm still bulbous, uncomfortable, and having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions. I've never looked forward to being in excruciating pain so much in my life ;). I'm still having issues with pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel in both hands, especially my right. My right thumb (tip), middle and index fingers are numb because my hands are so swollen. It's really annoying. And my left hand is starting to randomly go numb too, especially when I try to grasp things. When I talked to the doctor about it, she said she could refer me to an orthopedic practice to get a steroid shot in my wrist but when I called them to schedule an appointment (last Tuesday), they didn't have anything available until this Friday. I didn't think it was worth it at the time, but maybe I should've just scheduled the appointment, just in case. If/when I go into labor, I'm a little concerned about how I'm going to grasp anything to bear down when it's time to push. <br />
<br />
I'm still working full-time and everybody at work seems to be pretty understanding. My boss especially knows not to mess with me (too much) because I can be a bit touchy at times. I try to be as pleasant as I can but I still have my moments :). <br />
<br />
There are more things I can post but they would probably run into my week 40 update, so I guess I'll leave them out for now. I did go eat the eggplant parmigiana at Scalini's Italian restaurant last night... there are over 300 women who have gone into labor within 48 hours of eating that so I figured I would give it a shot. When I was pregnant with Logan, I made the recipe myself (they have it posted on their website) and it didn't work but people told me "you have to GO there!" so we're putting them to the test. It has been about 26 hours, so there are only about 22 left... although I did eat leftovers for dinner tonight so does that extend the time out another 24 hours? Hmmm... we'll see :).<br />
<br />
Here are my weekly updates:<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> I've been feeling them multiple times each day but nothing close together or consistent.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Not craving anything.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 34 lbs<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> Hands, feet, ankles, etc. The carpal tunnel is really aggravating and uncomfortable. <br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Install the infant car seat, put decals on baby room wall<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> Zantac 2x daily<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>Nothing new :)<br />
<br />
My 40 week checkup is tomorrow and I'm sure the doctor will actually "check" me (up to his elbow, yikes). I'm hoping I'm at least a little bit dilated & effaced but we'll see. Will update soon with my 40 week post, just in case something happens :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-41890608905967614722013-12-01T21:54:00.000-05:002013-12-01T21:55:04.864-05:0038 WeeksI'm in the home stretch (pun not intended). It has been a pretty good and productive week. My birthday was on Monday (happy 31!) and Thanksgiving was on Thursday so I got to pig out about as much as my stomach allowed me to. I'm still working full-time so the Thanksgiving break was much needed and I got a chance to relax at home quite a bit. I'm still really tired but I feel like I got a lot accomplished. The dresser for the baby's room arrived and Jason quickly put it together. I took advantage of the long weekend (including Black Friday) to get some of the decorations up and I also sewed two pillow covers (for small throw pillows) and started sewing the last baby blanket. I did a bunch of laundry and put most of the baby clothes away. The decals arrived yesterday but we haven't put them on the walls yet. I'm excited to get them up but need to prep the walls first.<br />
<br />
I packed my bag for the hospital as much as I possibly could (still need to throw in phone chargers and other everyday items when the time comes). I also bought Logan a backpack from a consignment store so that he has his very own bag that's ready for when mommy goes to the hospital. He loves his backpack and stuffed it full of fruit snacks and juice boxes as soon as I told him what it was for. Too cute :). The gift that I ordered for Logan (from baby Elise) arrived in the mail yesterday too and I just need to wrap it and put it in my hospital bag... it's a book that he reads at daycare that he absolutely loves so I think he'll be impressed that Elise knew about it ;).<br />
<br />
Jason and I got to go out a couple times this week on "dates" which was nice. I'm sure it will be a while until we'll get to do that again. We went to Red Robin for my free birthday burger and then went back again on Black Friday night before going to see Catching Fire. I enjoyed it :). <br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> I've been feeling them multiple times each day but nothing close together or consistent.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Not really craving anything but eating a bowl of cereal just about every night.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 31 lbs<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> Hands, feet, ankles, etc. The carpal tunnel is really aggravating and uncomfortable. <br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Install the infant car seat<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> Zantac 2x daily<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>Minimal stretching beyond what I have from Logan.<br />
<br />
I go back to the doctor tomorrow (Monday) because my appointment this past Wednesday was canceled. The doctor had two c-sections scheduled at the last minute but I'm feeling fine so I'm not worried about missing that appointment.<br />
<br />
I had to buy some men's slippers this afternoon because I couldn't find any women's in the right size for my poor puffy feet. I fully plan on wearing them to work and I'm sure nobody will have anything to say about it ;).<br />
<br />
I'm closing the baby pool tonight (I forgot to do it earlier this week), so good luck to everyone who has entered a guess :). The winner will be posted as soon as I can after she's born. I'm not entering a guess (don't want to mess up the game) but my guess is December 7th (a day that will live in infamy) at 8:15pm, 7lbs 5oz and 20.5" long :).<br />
<br />
I will try to post pictures of the nursery when we have more completed (decals on the wall, etc.). It's going to be adorable! :) Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-69578077858543787852013-11-24T21:58:00.002-05:002013-11-24T21:58:58.775-05:0037 WeeksOnce again, I'm posting a few days late so I have more than usual to talk about. Last weekend I made 2 casseroles plus a lasagna and they're in the freezer waiting for the baby to arrive. Since that is off of my list, I've been working on knocking out some of the other items. I ordered a dresser for her room today and I'm excited for it to arrive so that we can get the room in order. I also ordered some wall decals from Etsy and am waiting for those to arrive as well. Etsy says it should be shipped by tomorrow... I hope they're right! Here's a little preview of what it will look like (with a different name, of course).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsSfwDr0N1YpGaaUtWyIPksGCFmB6WILzQmm14FDU7kaRsQrf-1-IEjHEm1qEgF1ikOE1erQXBvCsCo4GxdDX1ewAJ5cGKhh6I4NF1UzJpRKXtiHKNa6xfAlqqhRpZwiS5K2NguNj3mHz/s1600/Wall+Decal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvsSfwDr0N1YpGaaUtWyIPksGCFmB6WILzQmm14FDU7kaRsQrf-1-IEjHEm1qEgF1ikOE1erQXBvCsCo4GxdDX1ewAJ5cGKhh6I4NF1UzJpRKXtiHKNa6xfAlqqhRpZwiS5K2NguNj3mHz/s320/Wall+Decal.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I think I posted a while back that her room will be pink and teal/turquoise with chevron accents and birds, so this decal fit everything perfectly. The colors will be slightly different (and I ordered another one to go along with it) but it's pretty close to this. I'm excited to put them up!<br />
<br />
I still have a blanket and a few pillow covers to sew for her as well as another boppy cover but I should be able to finish them within the next week, especially since I get Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
I actually made notes of what to blog about this week, so bear with me... this might be a long one :).<br />
<br />
For the past month or so, I haven't worn any flowy tops. They've all pretty much been fitted because my belly is so big that the flowy ones make me look like a circus tent. Thanks to my hernia surgery last year, I don't have an outie belly button this time, so I'm not quite so self-conscious about wearing the fitted shirts. I'm hoping I can also avoid some of the turkey comments this Thanksgiving since my belly button isn't popping out ;).<br />
<br />
I received my Group B Strep result and it was positive this time, grrr. That just means I'll have to get an IV antibiotic while I'm in labor, which is a bummer because I want to be up and moving around as much as possible. I guess I'll just have to deal with an IV pole following me around everywhere.<br />
<br />
Baby is sitting very very low now. Saturday seems to be the magic 'drop day' because I keep waking up on Sunday with her feeling even lower. People at work have been making comments about how low she's sitting. While it does help me to breathe a bit easier, it makes walking up stairs harder and it means my wardrobe has been cut in half because my shirts don't go down low enough to cover my entire belly. It has made things a bit more interesting :).<br />
<br />
And now for the normal weekly updates: <br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> I've been feeling them multiple times each day but nothing close together or consistent.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> After thinking about this a bit, I realized the one thing I've been drinking a lot of this pregnancy is tea mixed with lemonade... also known as an Arnold Palmer. I don't drink them daily but close enough. I guess that has been my craving :).<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 31 lbs<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> My feet are puffy all the time and my right hand (moreso than the left) has been swollen. I've actually contracted what's referred to as "pregnancy induced carpal tunnel" so my right hand/forearm goes numb randomly. My hand went numb while putting my makeup on the other day and sometimes it's numb when I wake up. <br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Buy a couple of final items from my registry (Target), pack the
hospital bag, pack a small bag for Logan, reinstall the infant car seat,
etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> It is under control but only because of my friend Zantac.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>Minimal stretching beyond what I have from Logan.<br />
<br />
That pretty much covers things for the week. The baby should be around 7 lbs and 20" long but it can vary from here on. She's still very active and enjoys sticking her behind out near my ribs, just like Logan did. The doctor said I will probably be pregnant for a couple more weeks, but we'll see! Logan seems to really enjoy using my belly as a pillow so I'm sure he'll miss it when it's gone ;). <br />
<br />
I'll end this post with a couple more pictures from the week. Enjoy and don't forget to enter your guess in my baby pool! I was going to close it tomorrow (my birthday, yay!) but think I'll wait until I hit 38 weeks on Wednesday. Just use the link in the upper right area of the blog :).<br />

Right now it's 9:55pm and I can hardly keep my eyes open. Working full-time, helping to take care of Logan, and all the other things I do (laundry, grocery shopping, etc.) is starting to wear on me. I've been having trouble getting comfortable in bed at night too, which has kept me from sleeping very well. <br />
<br />
*I just fell asleep on the couch*<br />
<br />
Back to my post... I had my 36 week checkup today and it went well. My blood pressure was great, I only gained another pound, and he was happy with everything. Baby is head-down and her heart sounded good. He had to do the Group B Strep swab, which was anything but pleasant but it's over with now and I'm just waiting for the results.<br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> I've been feeling some little ones throughout the week. Nothing consistent, though.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Nothing this week.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 28 lbs<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> My feet are still puffy, especially in the evening.<br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Buy furniture
and other items from my registry (Target), pre-make meals, pack the
hospital bag, pack a small bag for Logan, reinstall the infant car seat,
etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> It is under control but only because of my friend Zantac.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>The top of my stretch marks (from Logan) are stretching a bit, but nothing other than that. I'm just trying to figure what to put on the rest of my super dry skin. It hurts :(.<br />
<br />
Baby has been very active, as usual, and now I know that it's really her butt and feet sticking out the side of my belly ;).<br />
<br />
*I just fell asleep on the couch again*<br />
<br />
This is out of control :). Anyway, I might only have a couple weeks left before she arrives so I'm feeling more of a sense of urgency. With that being said, I'll be closing my ExpectNet baby pool on my birthday, November 25th. If you still want to enter a guess, you'll have until then... so guess!<br />
<br />
Well, I've fallen asleep about 5 times (or more) in the 30 minutes I've been trying to write this post. I think that's a clear sign that I need to go to bed. Well played, baby.<br />
<br />
Doctor appointments are now weekly, so I'll update after my appointment next week.Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-39421548758681840442013-11-11T21:42:00.000-05:002013-11-11T21:42:57.618-05:0035 WeeksOnce again, I'm posting a bit late. The main thing I've noticed this week is that I'm exhausted, almost to the same level as I was in the first trimester. At night I have been trying to put my feet up to alleviate some of the swelling and if I don't go upstairs by 10:00, I usually fall asleep on the couch. It makes sense, though... the baby is getting bigger and my body is preparing for a pretty big job :).<br />
<br />
To answer a few questions I've been asked this week: No, I'm not due sooner. No, it's only 1 baby. Yes, I'm ready for her to be born ;). Baby is about 18" long right now and somewhere around 6lbs. Her main job for the duration of the pregnancy is to put on weight and let her lungs develop a bit more. She has been having hiccups quite a bit lately so I think she's in the loop on the lung development thing.<br />
<br />
Between Saturday night and Sunday morning, I noticed that she had dropped again. She seems to be settling into my pelvis now, which hopefully means she is head-down. I told Jason it feels like she's a gopher trying to burrow her way out. Even though she has dropped, I'm still not able to breathe very well. This is due to a combination of her feet being in my lungs and me fighting a chest cold. Hopefully the latter will pass soon, though. She seems to be more comfortable because she has been moving around even more than usual the past couple days. I've been seeing/feeling her poking her feet, knees, and butt out in different spots of my belly. She appears to be taking after her big brother by sticking her behind out on the right side of my belly. That was one of Logan's favorite things to do.<br />
<br />
Here's the weekly summary:<br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> I've been feeling some little ones throughout the week. Nothing consistent, though.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Nothing this week.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 27 lbs - we'll see how that has changed on Thursday<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> My feet are still puffy, especially in the evening.<br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Buy furniture
and other items from my registry (Target), pre-make meals, pack the
hospital bag, pack a small bag for Logan, reinstall the infant car seat,
etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> It is under control but only because of my friend Zantac.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>I haven't noticed too much more stretching, but the itching is another story. Yowza.<br />
<br />
My next appointment is on Thursday and I have to be checked for Group B Strep (wahoo). I'll leave out the details but those of you who have been through it before will know what that means.<br />
<br />
If you read this, please keep us in your prayers. Even though I'm covered by 2 insurances, the medical bills keep rolling in and it doesn't look like I'm going to be eligible for Short Term Disability through my work until January, so I might be without a paycheck at all for a few weeks, depending on when she makes her appearance. I know everything will work out but it has added a bit of stress that we could really do without :).<br />
<br />
Thanks and don't forget to enter your guess in our birth pool. Time is running out!Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-15730453835044062292013-11-01T22:31:00.003-04:002013-11-01T22:31:51.609-04:0034 WeeksI just read my 34 Week post from when I was pregnant with Logan and had to smile... that week was when I received my job offer for the company I'm still working for. I still can't believe how that all happened but am so thankful that God blessed me with a great job, even when I was 8.5 months pregnant :). Some interesting things have been happening at work this week, some that I won't go into detail about but I will talk about my benefits briefly. When we completed our open enrollment for insurance last year, I could swear I elected to receive short term disability coverage, just on the small chance that I would get pregnant ;). This week I started getting my paperwork together to file for it and was told that I'm not currently covered. Oh, the thoughts that ran through my head ;). And what makes it even more difficult is that the HR Manager resigned his position and moved out of state a couple weeks ago. The interim HR Manager has been trying to help me but can't find my original signed copy of benefit elections anywhere (what are the chances?). So, I've been trying not to stress about what's going to happen when the baby gets here. I'm just praying that something will work out so that we don't have to rely solely on Jason's salary. Everything will be fine, though...<br />
<br />
I had my 34 week checkup this afternoon and it went fairly well. I told the doctor about my slip last weekend, which is still causing me a LOT of pain and he sympathized but said it's going to hurt because of where the muscle/ligament strain is and where the baby is positioned. I imagine it will take a while to heal so I'm just trying to manage as best I can. The doctor seemed completely unaware that I was sent to Labor & Delivery on Monday so I had to explain things to him, including the part about the nurse saying the baby was either breech or transverse (sideways). He decided to do an impromptu ultrasound (with the same prehistoric u/s machine he used to confirm my pregnancy). He said the baby is head-down but slightly transverse, so kinda diagonal, I guess? He's not concerned about it at this point but wants to check again at my next appointment too.<br />
<br />
The doctor read over my birth plan and said everything looks fine, yay! I've read a few articles/blogs this week that have touched on birth plans and they seem to be very anti-BP, which is fine but I just want to comment quickly on that. I know that labor and delivery can be a very unpredictable experience and many different things can happen, however.... that's why I titled mine "birth preferences". It's a plan but as I experienced with Logan, it can change very quickly. There are some things that I'm pretty adamant about (skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, delayed cord clamping, etc.) and I have good reason to want those things. For example, when Logan was born, I got to see him briefly but then he was whisked away to the NICU and I was taken to my room. I wasn't able to get out of bed for 12 hours, which meant I couldn't see him, hold him, feed him, talk to him for 12 hours. It was a very difficult day for me filled with a lot of longing, guilt, anger, etc. If I can avoid that from happening again, I will make every effort to, including drafting up an 'annoying' birth plan ;). I'm not knocking anyone who chooses not to have one... that's fine and dandy, but I want to have one in place. If anything, it will be something that Jason and I can look at throughout the labor & delivery process to help keep me focused. That's my little spiel ;).<br />
<br />
My blood pressure is still 120/80 (normal) but I have gained a total of 27 lbs, ack! I'm guessing the fact that I haven't been able to walk this week has played a part in that gain but the doctor didn't seem concerned about it. <br />
<br />
I started getting a sore throat last night and it has been even worse today along with some ear pain and pressure. I had the doctor check it for an ear infection but he said it isn't infected at this point. I'm taking some Sudafed to clear up the small amount of fluid that was in my ear and hoping the pain will go away quickly.<br />
<br />
Ok, here is the weekly summary:<br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> Haven't really noticed any this week.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Nothing this week.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 27 lbs<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> The swelling is back with a vengeance. I'll blame it on the 70+ degree weather that returned this week ;).<br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Still need to buy furniture
and other items from my registry (Target), pre-make meals, pack the hospital bag, pack a small bag for Logan, reinstall the infant car seat, etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> It is under control but only because of my friend Zantac.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>Stretching and more stretching. I take it as a sign that she's growing :).<br />
<br />
Baby's current size is about 18" long and 5.5 lbs, whew! Only 6-ish weeks to go :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-19233882038494963022013-10-29T22:00:00.003-04:002013-10-29T22:02:26.707-04:00Birth PlanSince I'm 34 weeks along and this pregnancy has been anything but dull, I've decided to revamp the <a href="http://3snookies.blogspot.com/2011/04/birth-plan.html">birth plan I had when I was pregnant with Logan</a>. I have taken a lot of the same pieces from that plan but edited it based on my experience with him. The main difference is the addition of the Cesarean "section" (hehe, get it?). With Logan, there were a lot of things that I wish I could've changed concerning his delivery and the care that followed (for both of us). I plan on taking this to my doctor on Friday to go over it with him. I'll report back with any concerns or objections he may have.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, here ya go:<br />

<br />
I'm 33 weeks (+5 days) and what a week it has been. Last week Logan was sick (with a fever and a cough) Monday through Wednesday and he was still in a bit of a funk on Thursday. He felt better Friday but then he kept throwing up on Saturday afternoon (in his carseat, on me, on the couch, etc.). Thankfully he was back to his normal self on Sunday. However, when he was sick, all he wanted was to be held by his mommy. At one point, I carried him over to our coat closet to find a blanket that didn't have puke on it. I didn't notice one of his toys on the floor and slipped on it with my right foot. I didn't fall but I did a bit of pregnant "splits" (which wasn't really close to the splits at all) and I felt a strain in the lower part of my belly/pelvis. I was still holding Logan and was in a LOT of pain. Ever since then, when I try to get up and walk after sitting for a while, I have to move very slowly and deliberately because of the pain it causes. When I got to work this morning, I called my doctor to see if he wanted me to come in earlier than Friday (my currently scheduled appointment) and they told me to go to Labor & Delivery at the hospital to get checked out "just in case". I showed up around noon, dressed down in the hospital gown and they fitted my belly with the fetal heart monitor and some other monitor (I think for contractions?). After monitoring me for about 30 minutes, the doctor told them to keep me there for observation for 2 hours and if everything was ok to send me home. Everything turned out to be ok but I quickly learned that those beds are extremely uncomfortable! I'm glad I get to move around while I'm in active labor, which reminds me that I need to work on my birth plan before my Friday appointment...<br />
<br />
Last Friday at work, my coworkers threw me a surprise baby shower. I was SO surprised and had absolutely no idea that they had been planning it for weeks, right under my nose. I'm even more impressed that my boss was able to do it without me finding out. I've been worried about buying all the stuff we'll need for the little gal, especially with our medical bills piling up, so this was a huge blessing. One of the women from work found my registry and printed it out for all the men to do their shopping. As a result, I got probably 90% of the items I really wanted/needed, which is a huge burden off of my shoulders :). I still can't believe they pulled it off. My coworkers are great :).<br />
<br />
After the baby shower, I got all of her clothes, sheets, blankets, etc. together and washed everything. They're now all neatly organized in piles on our couch and I neglected to think of where we're going to put it all. We haven't yet gotten a dresser for her room so I guess they will stay on the couch until I find a place for them.... oops :). I do feel a little better now that everything is washed and ready to go, though. And now I know what to shop for when I get my 10% off coupon from Target.<br />
<br />
And now on to the weekly updates:<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> Still having Braxton Hicks contractions that are more "spotty". They aren't full-on contractions, so I'm not concerned.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Nothing this week.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 20 lbs... I'll find out on Friday what the new number is :P<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> The swelling has settled down a little bit this week, which is think is mainly due to the weather being cooler.<br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Still need to buy furniture
and other items from my registry (Target), pre-make meals, write out my
birth plan, pack the hospital bag, etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> It is under control but only because of my friend Zantac.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>I've continued using oil twice a day on my belly but the stretching is getting worse. My stretch marks are stretching more and yesterday I noticed that I have a heat rash (or what looks like one) on my belly, which makes the itching even worse. Gah... getting closer to being done!<br />
<br />
I do need to note that everyone at work has been very supportive and has been looking out for my best interests. I've started parking in the visitor's section right in front of the building and today my boss asked if I'd like my computer to be moved to an office downstairs so that I don't have to walk up as many stairs. Sometimes I feel like they're a bit <i>too</i> concerned but I guess it's better this way than for them to completely disregard my safety :).<br />
<br />
Anyway, I think this is long enough. Don't forget to enter the ExpectNet contest with your guesses. There are only 6-ish weeks left until my due date!Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-41771127842954908822013-10-20T21:32:00.000-04:002013-10-20T21:32:01.142-04:0032 WeeksI've been feeling a little better this week... however, as I sit here typing, I'm getting shooting pains from my hips down into my legs (welcome back, sciatic nerve pain). It seems to come and go as it pleases. <br />
<br />
I had my 32 week checkup on Thursday and it went well. I gained another couple of pounds, which puts me up to a total of 20 gained. My blood pressure was 120/70, which is holding steady :). I asked about my pelvic pain and he said the baby is just getting bigger and lower, which is what I expected to hear. There's really not a whole lot I can do besides wait it out.<br />
<br />
The updates I've read are all over the map as far as the estimated weight of the baby... I'm guessing she's around 4.5 lbs and at least 16 inches long. My belly is starting to change shape a bit and is dropping. I already have a long torso, which means I have to wear longer maternity shirts but now I might have to find some tunics or something even longer so my belly doesn't start hanging out like a plumber. I've also read that the baby can gain half a pound per week from here until she's born, which could possibly put her at 9 lbs, whew. We'll see how that goes ;). That reminds me, please enter your birth guesses in my ExpectNet game! Just click on the icon on the right side of the page... you don't have to register for an account or anything and it's completely free :). <br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions just about daily. They don't cover my entire belly like my labor contractions did with Logan, though. These are more like spot pains.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Nothing this week.<br />
<b>Weight:</b> My total is up to 20 lbs.<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> My poor feet have been permanently swollen this week. They're ok today but I'm sure they will puff up again from sitting at my desk at work all day tomorrow. My hands have been slightly swollen in the evenings too but they aren't as severe as my feet.<br />
<b>Things to do:</b> Still need to buy furniture
and other items from my registry (Target), pre-make meals, write out my
birth plan, pack the hospital bag, etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> It's been fairly bad this week. If I don't take something for it twice a day (around 1pm and 10pm) I end up regretting it.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>There's one specific spot on the left side of my belly that feels like it's stretching constantly and it hurts pretty bad. I've been using the Burt's Bees Mama Bee Oil on my belly twice daily and I think that has helped with the rest of the stretching, itching, and general discomfort.<br />
<br />
That's about it for now. Will be back in a few days with week 33 :). Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-86847738659364402362013-10-13T21:30:00.002-04:002013-10-13T21:30:33.534-04:0031 WeeksSo the main thing for this week is pelvic pain... or more specifically, lower pelvic pain. I feel like the baby is starting to drop. Either that or she is just growing and stretching out. My 32 week checkup is on Wednesday so I plan on asking the doctor about it. I've been feeling the baby's hands moving near my bladder and her feet right up under my chest. She's taking up as much room as she can :). I've been feeling what I think are her feet moving across my belly. I had Jason feel it a couple days ago and his response was something along the lines of "whoa... weird". Gotta love him ;). <br />
<br />
I've been fighting a cold for the past couple weeks and I think it's finally almost gone. Combined with the normal pregnancy congestion, it has made any activity (including breathing) very difficult. I've been using my humidifier at night, which I think has helped but I'm hoping it will help even more when she starts to drop toward the last month or so of the pregnancy. <br />
<br />
I found a great new (to me) website for my weekly updates - www.alphamom.com. I started reading the updates and was cracking up. They're very real and don't try to sugar-coat the unpleasant symptoms. Here are a couple of highlights from this week's post:<br />
<br />
<strong>Your Baby</strong>:
<br />
<ul>
<li>Blah blah blah 3.3 pounds, bag of oranges, sock full of nickels, etc.</li>
<li>Enjoys yawning, sucking his or her thumb, kicking mom in the diaphragm.</li>
<li>Turn-offs include: getting the hiccups, really loud noises and you trying to do all that boring “sleeping” at night.</li>
</ul>
<strong>You:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>Can totally round down your answer to “two months” when people ask
you how much longer you have to go. DO NOT focus on the crazy
week-to-month-ratio math at this point in pregnancy, particularly when
there are breakable, smashy objects within reach.</li>
<li>May be weirdly and inexplicably congested all the time. I, for one,
appear to be allergic to my pillow. This is also prime time for
pregnancy colds, as the toll on your body and immune system is getting
higher by the week. Take it easy, slow down, take your vitamins and try
try try to get enough sleep.</li>
<li>Can now play everybody’s favorite game, <em>Guess The Body Part That’s Sticking Out Next To My Belly Button</em>! Elbow or heel? Head or butt? Did I seriously just maybe feel my baby’s BIG TOE?</li>
</ul>
<strong>Oh Yeah, THIS:</strong> Heartburn! Terrible, hideous,
words-cannot-describe-it heartburn. There really is nothing quite like
the heartburn one gets when one’s torso is simply too crowded to contain
both a stomach and a <em>stomach with food in it</em>.<br />
<strong><br />
New This Time Around:</strong> That said, I don’t think I ever had
heartburn bad enough last time that I thought I was dying and should
consider driving to the hospital, nor did my husband ever attempt to
TIME MY WAVES OF HEARTBURN because he said I was acting exactly like I
did when I was in labor.<br />
<br />
I agree with pretty much all of the above ;). Now for the items that are becoming more important nowadays:<br />
<br />
<b>Contractions:</b> None yet that I've noticed. Although now that I say that, I just felt a cramping feeling on the left side of my belly. Hrm.<br />
<b>Cravings:</b> Nothing specific - this pregnancy has been pretty boring in that area<br />
<b>Weight:</b> We don't have a functioning scale at home so we'll see what the verdict is at my appointment. Last week my total was +18 lbs.<br />
<b>Swelling:</b> feet and sometimes a little in my hands - I prop my feet up at work a lot :)<br />
<b>Things to do:</b> EVERYTHING, or so it seems. Need to buy furniture and other items from my registry (Target), pre-make meals, write out my birth plan, pack the hospital bag, etc....<br />
<b>Heartburn:</b> Not as bad this week but that's probably because my doctor recommended taking a higher dose of Zantac. I'm still only taking as needed, though.<br />
<b>Stretching: </b>and stretching and stretching. My stretch marks from Logan are stretching, gah. A few spots have really been hurting and itching this week. I bought some Burt's Bees oil to try on my belly tonight. I hope it helps to make the stretching less painful. <br />
<br />
Well, I think that's all for now. I'm hoping my appointment this week will go well. Will post as soon as I can afterward.Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-11750656374728252932013-10-06T22:07:00.001-04:002013-10-06T22:07:26.422-04:0030 WeeksI had my 30 week checkup earlier this week and everything went well. My weight gain is up to 18 lbs and my blood pressure was holding steady at 110/80. I saw a doctor I hadn't met yet so it was good to ask him a few questions just to get a different perspective. I asked about items that I'll be including on my birth plan (delayed cord clamping, walking around during labor, pulse ox testing, etc.) and he basically said that I can do anything I want as long as it doesn't endanger me or the baby. He used to practice medicine in Seattle so he said I can bring in bongo drums and burn incense for all he cares.... I won't be doing either of those, but it's good to know that they're flexible :).<br />
<br />
Stretching<br />
I was worried earlier in the week because I kept getting pains in a certain spot on my belly and I was thinking they could either be Braxton Hicks contractions or just the baby readjusting. When I was in the shower on Saturday morning, I looked at my belly (getting harder to do) and noticed my stretch marks are stretching and it looks like there's some blood starting to break through the layers of skin. No wonder it hurts! I think I might try using some Bio Oil on my belly go keep it moisturized. I've been using Me! Bath body icing (lotion), which feels and smells really nice but I think I need something more oil-based. I dunno. Any recommendations are welcome :).<br />
<br />
Sleeping<br />
Horrible. I haven't been sleeping well at all and it's due to a combination of things. First of all, I'm just uncomfortable and it's hard for me to get into any position without getting pains around my belly, pelvis, legs, etc. I'm having trouble breathing because my lungs are squished and I've been sick with a cold for the past 4 or 5 days. On top of getting up at least 3 times each night to go to the bathroom, I've been getting up to blow my nose and try to clear my throat by drinking water... which makes me have to use the bathroom even more. Finally, Logan has been waking up in the middle of the night (every night) crying for mommy so I've been getting up to put him back to bed. This has been going on for the past week and I'm hoping it's just a phase but I don't know what else to do. Jason wants me to let him cry it out but at that time of night, I'd rather just put him back in bed than listen to him cry. I'm sure most moms out there understand what I'm talking about. Anyway... any tips for that would also be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Stress<br />
I think I'm just starting to let things get to me more than usual but I'm trying not to let them stress me out. We've had a bunch of medical bills come in recently and even though I'm covered by 2 insurances, the charges aren't being covered like I assumed they would be. The ultrasound place I've been going to is apparently considered a "specialist" practice, so they're billed differently than if I had gone to a different place. That would've been nice to know. I'm also starting to get anxious about making sure everything is ready for the baby. The walls are painted in her room but nothing else has really been done. I'm trying to collect a couple pieces of clothing for her each month but we still need bedroom furniture and other items from my registry. Logan will also need a "big boy" bed so that we can move the crib to the baby's room. I know that everything will fall into place but I'll blame hormones for the time being. I just feel like there's SO much left to do and very little time (about 10 weeks or less!). <br />
<br />
Contest<br />
I added a link to the upper right side of the page to "Expect Net" where you can enter birthday, birth weight, length, etc. guesses. It's just a fun competition to see who guesses the closest to the real thing. My due date is December 11th... if anyone guesses past the 17th, I'll be coming for you. I was told by the doctor that if I reach 41 weeks (as I did with Logan), they will do a c-section. Labor has to start spontaneously in order for me to have a VBAC so I'll be trying all of the 'old wives' tricks.<br />
<br />
I think that's about it for now other than announcing that my youngest brother and his wife are now parents, yay! Their little boy Briggs was born yesterday and is probably one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. I can't wait to meet him :). I love it when people I know become parents so that they will know the joy (and stress...) that comes with having kids ;). Love you guys!Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-12161684128176064592013-09-29T22:01:00.000-04:002013-09-29T22:01:20.492-04:00Ways to Help a New MomSo you hosted/attended the baby shower and your friend/cousin/coworker/acquaintance just had her baby. You're excited for her and you're happy that she has all she needs for the new little bundle of joy. She couldn't possibly need anything now that she's on maternity leave, right? Her husband is at home with her and she probably has plenty of help from her parents...<br />
<br />
This seems to be a common misconception when a new baby comes along. Either that or friends/family of the new mom just don't think anything of it. I never gave it a second thought until I became a mom myself. But even if the mom is the most organized woman and has her act together pre-baby, she still has needs when the baby arrives. <br />
<br />
You may be thinking "I already bought her clothes/diapers, etc." or asking, "what can I do?" and that is what this post is for. There's always something you can do to make the mom's life a little easier. Here are just a few ideas:<br />
<br />
Send a Text<br />
If you don't live nearby and don't have time to pay the new mom a visit, send a text of encouragement. Something as simple as "thinking of you", "you're doing great!", etc. does more than you might think. Life for a new mom is hard. Her whole world has turned upside-down and she is focused only on the baby. On top of that, her postpartum hormones are rearing their ugly head and if she's breastfeeding she is probably on the edge of a breakdown any given minute of the day. Hearing words of encouragement can be just what she needs to hear to get her through the next feeding/diaper change/crying fit.<br />
<br />
Make a Meal<br />
As a pregnant woman, one of the things I've had on the top of my "nesting list" is to pre-make meals to freeze so that when the baby arrives, we can just pull one out of the freezer and pop it in the oven, avoiding most of the prep and cleanup altogether. But if a mom doesn't think of doing that or if the baby decides to arrive sooner than expected, the parents are going to be left with the extra burden of preparing meals. This might not sound overly difficult, but trust me... when there's a newborn baby demanding all of your time and attention, the last thing you want to do is take the time to prepare a meal. Also, most times the mom is so overwhelmed with taking care of the baby that she can forget to feed herself (and especially if she's breastfeeding, eating regular meals is extremely important!). This is where you can help. Make a casserole or something that they can just pop into the oven. I usually try to add a loaf of poppy seed bread or banana bread/muffins, which they can eat for snacks or breakfast. If you're not confident in your meal-making abilities, read on to the next tip.<br />
<br />
Buy a Gift Card<br />
If you can't or don't want to make a meal, buy the new parents a gift card to a nearby restaurant, pizza joint, or even grocery store. That way they can use it on a day that's especially tiring or stressful and they can buy exactly what they want. Also, it can take a little of the stress of buying groceries off their shoulders. Even something as small as $10 or $20 can buy multiple necessities (bread, milk, eggs, juice, etc.).<br />
<br />
Offer to Visit (to clean, cook, or even just sit and talk)<br />
Even when my son was around a month old, I still struggled with time management. I tried keeping up with chores around the house such as laundry and washing the dishes but there were days when I was doing good just to feed myself a piece of toast in-between feedings and diaper changes. I learned to not be shy about asking my friends or mother-in-law to come by for a couple hours so that I could take a shower (oh, the things we take for granted). New moms still want to feel like they're alive and a shower can have that effect on someone who has been pooped, peed, and puked on all within a matter of hours. Send the mom a message and let her know that you're available to come sit with the baby if she ever needs an hour to herself.<br />
One of the nicest things a coworker/friend did for me after Logan was born was to come over and do the dishes and straighten up the kitchen. When she did this, I immediately felt like I should get off the couch and help. I started a load of laundry only to be told by her to go sit down and rest. I really appreciated everything that she did and took the time to relax and not worry about the mess that had been in the kitchen before her arrival.<br />
Finally, offer to come sit and talk. As mentioned earlier, a new mom's life is consumed by her baby. Her brain is full of new information such as the last time the baby ate, the last time his/her diaper was changed, and she has probably already done her fair share of googling for information about baby poop, colic, and 'how to get baby to sleep through the night' (good luck with that one). Trust me when I say she will welcome a normal conversation with an adult friend. She will most likely spend most of the time talking about the baby but sit and listen anyway. Offer a shoulder to cry on. Ask how she's <i>really </i>doing and let her know you're there if she needs anything. The fact that someone is thinking of her will really mean a lot to her. Just be her friend :).<br />
<br />
I hope these are helpful to anyone who knows someone who has recently had a baby or who is currently expecting. These are the things that helped me most as a new mom and I'm sure will be greatly appreciated when I'm juggling a newborn and a rambunctious toddler in a couple of months :). If anything, just ask the mom what she needs and try to do what you can to take care of them. Of course, "sanity" is not something you can give to her but choosing one or more of the items above will go a long way in helping restore it :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-84943436773633826912013-09-27T22:21:00.002-04:002013-09-27T22:21:58.638-04:0029 WeeksWow, every time I sit down to write a new post, I feel like the week has flown by... and here I am at 29 weeks! It still seems like my due date is pretty far off (about 11 weeks away... after Thanksgiving) but at the same time, I know the weeks will go by really quickly. <br />
<br />
This week has been a pretty good one. We've been trying to go on family walks at night since the weather has cooled off considerably. They're pretty relaxed walks but they're walks nonetheless :). <br />
<br />
A few things that I've noticed this week are:<br />
<br />
Heartburn<br />
I've had heartburn almost daily for the past month (at least) but it has gotten worse this week. If anyone knows of any home/natural remedies that I can try, please let me know!<br />
<br />
Aches<br />
My legs have been kind-of achy a few times this week, almost how your muscles can feel when you have a fever. When his happens, I just try to stretch them out but that doesn't seem to help. I haven't experienced it the past day or two, so hopefully it was just a random thing that won't come back. Another pain/discomfort that seems to be back is my rib pain. I don't think it will ever get completely better until after she is born. I might have to go back to the chiropractor to get it pushed back into place.<br />
<br />
Swelling<br />
I think I have to say goodbye to my ankle bones until after the baby gets here because my ankles and feet have been puffing up quite a bit this week. As long as my blood pressure stays within a normal range, my doctor doesn't seem to be overly concerned about it. It just means I have been spending a lot of time after work with my feet up on the couch... and at work, I've been putting my feet up on a pulled-out desk drawer. The men at work know that it's in their best interest to not say anything about it ;).<br />
<br />
Nursery<br />
I'm slowly getting items together to decorate the nursery. I will try to post pictures in my next weekly post if anyone is curious about the 'theme'. I'm excited to see how it all comes together :).<br />
<br />
Sleep<br />
Basically I'm not getting much of it. I keep waking up because I'm uncomfortable, I have acid reflux, I have to go to the bathroom, etc. Also, Logan has been waking up more frequently in the middle of the night so I've been getting up to snuggle him and put him back to bed. I don't know if it's an attention thing or what but hopefully it's just a phase that passes quickly. Also, I've been snoring lately which has been hard on Jason (poor guy) and Breathe Right nasal strips don't seem to be helping much. So whenever I wake up for one of the aforementioned reasons, I feel guilty about keeping Jason awake from my snoring which makes me sleep lighter because I'm trying to make a conscious effort to not snore. Ugh. <br />
<br />
Missing Feet<br />
My belly has officially caused my feet to disappear, which is really saying something when you consider that I wear size 12 shoes. I told Jason the other day "I feel like I'm following something" when I walk around because my belly is quite prominent. My boss was cracking up the other day while watching me attempt to put socks on. I guess he can laugh all he wants... because I'll be laughing while I'm on maternity leave, thinking about the amount of work he gets to do ;). Anyway, my belly has a definite presence :).<br />
<br />
I think that's about all for now. My next appointment is on Wednesday so I'll post an update soon after that :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-27466588410815485182013-09-21T21:44:00.001-04:002013-09-21T21:44:19.390-04:0028 Weeks - Introducing: Elise RoseHappy 3rd trimester to me! <br />
<br />
And I think we've finally settled on a name, folks! We have gone back and forth (and back and forth and...) on the name over the past few months and keep coming back to Elise. Jason first thought of the name while thinking of a Lotus Elise (yes, a car) when I was pregnant with Logan and when we looked it up, it means "consecrated to God". Wanting to have a little more detailed definition, I looked up 'consecrated' and here are a couple of the main definitions: <span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">to</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">make</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">or</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">declare</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">sacred;</span> </span>set<span id="hotword"> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">apart</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword">or</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">dedicate</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">to</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">the</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">service</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">of</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">a</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;">deity. </span></span><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">to</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">devote</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">or</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">dedicate</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">to</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: default;">some</span> <span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;">purpose.<span style="color: black;"> Now, I believe that everyone has been given a special purpose but I pray and believe that this little girl will be set apart to serve the Lord. As for the middle name, we had originally chosen Noelle since she will be born in December and I've always loved that name but it just didn't feel right. I was thinking about it earlier this week and my mom's middle name, Rose, just seemed to fit and gave me the warm fuzzies. Jason says her first and middle names are too pretty to yell together, but so is Elise Noelle so we'll just have to get over it ;). I will probably end up calling her Ellie or Leesie or something like that but we're pretty confident that her name is now set :).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">On to this week's happenings. I had my 28 week checkup on Wednesday immediately followed by another ultrasound. I saw another OB doctor (there are 3 at the practice I go to) and she was super nice. She said she had looked at my glucose test results and I did awesome... she measured my fundus (?) and said my belly was right on track for being 28 weeks along. In total, I have gained about 15 pounds and she said that's perfect for where I am and my blood pressure was still around 110/70, which is great. The ultrasound was just as good if not better. They checked all of the baby's measurements and she is measuring right on track (or possibly a few days ahead). Her estimated weight is 2 lbs 13oz and we saw her moving and kicking, clenching her fists, and I think she even blinked a couple of times. The doctor spent quite a bit of time looking at her heart and we could see the 4 chambers and he said the arteries were in the perfect position and the blood was flowing correctly. Having experienced everything we have with Logan's heart, those words were especially comforting. At the end of the ultrasound, the doctor said that everything looks perfect and he sees no need for me to come back unless my OB says otherwise. With Logan, I had ultrasounds as frequently as my OB appointments, so it will be a strange yet nice change to not have all the extra appointments :). I kind-of have the strange feeling of, "wow, this is normal!" I'm feeling very blessed right now :).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Movement</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">As usual, this girl is very active. I keep thinking she's doing jiu jitsu or flashdance or something in there. This afternoon I felt a foot move about 4" across my belly. She's currently head-down so she's been punching my bladder and kicking at everything else :).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Appetite</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">My appetite is pretty normal, I'd say. I've been eating regular snacks between meals but I haven't been seriously pigging out. I've been enjoying fresh pineapple but I think I might have an allergy to it because after I eat it, part of my tongue gets red and swollen and it hurts for about a day. Not sure what that means, but I guess I'll avoid eating it for a while.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Size</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">I might just exclude this from future posts because it's going to be the same every week. My belly is large and in charge. I get comments almost daily from people I know as well as complete strangers. I'm trying to keep a level head about it because it's nothing I can really control. I'm just thankful that I'm healthy and she's healthy. I feel very secure with my body while I'm pregnant because I feel like my body is doing everything it needs to in order to bring a healthy baby into the world. I just look like I'm smuggling a basketball :).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Contractions</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Nothing yet that I can think of. I thought I was maybe having some the other day but I kinda forgot that I had eaten an ice cream bar and... I'm a bit lactose intolerant when it comes to certain dairy products. I texted Jason about it (he was in Boston) and he said "trust me, I know gas" and he was right. *Ahem* Anyway... no contractions yet :).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Pain</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">The sciatic nerve pain I was experiencing last week has pretty much gone away. I'm guessing the baby has changed positions and I'm very grateful :). I can actually halfway control my waddle now since I can walk without limping.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">Nesting</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">I haven't really done much of any nesting yet. I did get some fabric to sew a couple of Boppy pillow covers but haven't finished them yet. They're on the list :). I'm planning on pre-making some meals to freeze (I did it with Logan and they were SO helpful) but I'm waiting to do that until sometime in November. Let me know if you're interested in helping ;).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="color: purple;"><span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" style="cursor: pointer;"><span style="color: black;">That's about it for now.

And I probably mention this a lot, but the weeks just seem to be flying by... in 3 days I'll be in my 3rd trimester, wowwy.<br />
<br />
I got the results from my glucose test and they were fine, yay! It's always nerve-wracking when you have to take tests like this and you have no control over the outcome. I'm glad I don't have to worry about it for the remainder of the pregnancy, though. I have my next appointment and ultrasound on Wednesday. Hopefully they'll go well because I scheduled them back-to-back and I don't want to be stressed out or late. <br />
<br />
I went to a baby shower for my friend who is due in October and it was so much fun :). We got some cute belly pictures together and I had a nice time catching up with my college friends.<br />
<br />
Appetite:<br />
I haven't been overly hungry lately or nauseous. I think my appetite has leveled out a bit. Hopefully that will reflect on the scale on Wednesday ;).<br />
<br />
Contractions:<br />
According to my weekly updates, I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions for a while now, but haven't noticed them yet. Hopefully I won't notice them for another month or two.<br />
<br />
Pain:<br />
This sciatic nerve pain is ridiculous. When I sit on the couch, I feel fine but when I try standing up or walking, I feel like an old man. I have shooting nerve pain through my hips and down into the back of my thighs. It's very annoying. I thought about taking a bath tonight but I doubt there's much that can actually relieve the pain. It has even made sleeping a challenge.<br />
<br />
Movement:<br />
This little girl is very busy. I woke up at 2:30 this morning to use the bathroom and when I got back into bed, she started kicking really hard. I didn't get back to sleep until 3:00 or later because of it. She especially seems to like when I eat because she starts kicking and rolling around about 5 minutes after I eat anything.<br />
<br />
Belly:<br />
I've had SO many comments this week from people I know as well as strangers making comments about my belly. It starts with "how much longer to you have?" or "when is your due date?" and when I tell them I have 3 months left, their response is "wow.... are you sure there's only one? " or "oh wow, you're already huge!" and I have to bite my tongue to avoid making a rude response. Let me just put this out there.... the responses above are some of the most insensitive and hurtful that people can say. I'm not a rude person but I'm almost to the point where I don't care about offending someone with my response. That's all I'll say about that... for now.<br />
<br />
Nursery:<br />
Jason (and Logan) surprised me by painting the nursery yesterday. The color is a bit different than I wanted, though. I was wanting a soft grey and we chose one that looked like it had a tiny bit of a soft lavender tone to it but when I saw the finished product it looked a lot more lavender than I wanted. I'll have to go back in the room to see it in different lighting but either way I can work with the color. The room just might have more purple than I had originally intended :).<br />
<br />
Nesting:<br />
I haven't really done much of any nesting lately. I bought some fabric to sew a couple of Boppy covers, a nursing cover, and a blankie, but the sciatic nerve pain has kept me from doing much cleaning.<br />
<br />
Name:<br />
We're still mulling over a couple of names. So far we're pretty set on the first name being Elise, but are still talking about the middle name. I just suggested a new middle name today and got a good response, so we'll see what happens :). I'll let people know as soon as we know!<br />
<br />
That's it for now, I think... like I said, it has been a busy week. I'm looking forward to the 3rd trimester, though! Only about 12 weeks left :).Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180713780167252327.post-28319366587518401432013-09-05T22:33:00.001-04:002013-09-05T22:33:57.821-04:0026 WeeksThis pregnancy has been so different than my first. I have enjoyed looking back at my posts from when I was pregnant with Logan to see what happened then for a comparison to where I am now. In my 26 week post with Logan I was consumed with the genetic testing results following the amniocentesis I had. I know I was feeling a whirlwind of emotions at the time and, even though we were trusting God to take care of everything, it sometimes took the joy out of my pregnancy.<br />
<br />
This pregnancy has had its moments but I feel so much more comfortable emotionally. Even though the doctors have warned us that there are still risks of there being a "genetic" issue we're still praying and believing in total health for our little girl. Anyway.... I just had to throw this in there... typing as I think :).<br />
<br />
I had my 26 week checkup today and it went fairly well. I had to drink the glucose solution this morning at 8 for my appointment at 8:30. My blood pressure was 110/70, which is still great. I have gained another 6 lbs, which puts me at a total of 10. I should only gain another 10-20 but I think that's totally doable. The doctor easily found her heartbeat with the doppler and it sounded really good :). I asked him a few questions about sciatic nerve pain, seeing sparkles, and losing my eyelashes and he said nothing could really be done about any of them :P. At 9:00, I had to get my blood drawn to check for gestational diabetes and the nurse had to stick both of my arms in order to get a vein (even after I warned her that I have rolling veins). I should get the results back early next week unless something is wrong, but I'm really hoping I won't get an early phonecall.<br />

My fingers have been swelling up a bit at night so I've had to take my wedding band off. I'm still wearing my engagement ring and hopefully I won't have to take it off for a long time (if at all). My feet haven't been too bad until tonight. I went to the grocery store after work, picked Logan up from daycare, came home and made dinner, then cleaned the kitchen and my feet look like latex gloves that have been blown up like balloons :P. Jason rubbed them for a while, but I think I just need to go to bed and prop them up a little.<br />
<br />
I started taking a new prenatal vitamin tonight from the Rainbow Light brand. We'll see how they work. I took it a couple hours after dinner so I'm hoping it won't upset my stomach. I'm hoping they will give me more energy during the day.<br />
<br />
I've been feeling more and more pregnant. I think it's a combination of the August heat and the extra weight I've gained (from baby growing and everything else). Regardless, I've been pretty worn down and generally tired. The doctor said my iron will be tested along with my glucose so if my iron is low hopefully it can be easily remedied.<br />
<br />
I have gotten to the point where I will be going to the doctor every 2 weeks instead of 4. I can't believe I'm already this far along. Before I know it, I'll be going every week, agh! And I feel like I have so much more to do before little miss arrives. I have 14-ish weeks left so hopefully more nesting will kick in soon :).<br />

Well, I'm fighting a headache so I'm going to give in and go to bed. Will be back next week with another update.Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05819879926139214779noreply@blogger.com0
