Probably TMI, you have been warned.

Ugh. I am just grumpy today. I do have a doctors appt at 2:30. I beleive I will be going every week from now on. But in reality that is only for 2 more weeks because as far as I know I am still having a c-section. We will see what she says.

I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy. But I am so sick of the sore nipples, leaking nipples, digestive issues, constipation, and now diarrhea. Which is now turned into hemorrhoids. I did not have any hemorrhoid issues with Brax, and I felt very lucky. But I feel a lot of pressure this time in my lower areas. Both of them. She feels so heavy. Sometimes I feel a sharp pain which makes me believe I am dilating. Who knows. Should I even embarrass myself and ask my doctor about it. I wonder if she is even going to check me. She never did with Braxton. The only time I got checked was when I saw a different doctor and she thought I was in early labor because of my symptoms that day. Is that something you ask for. "um doc can you check my cervix today" Too bad there is not an at home cervix checking kit. LOL

So I am 3 weeks away from my c-section date and I am so ready to be done with this huge belly of mine. And I mean huge! I will have to take some pics today. I look like I am smuggling a 10 lbs pumpkin.

ugh...the cold virus

I have been fighting this cold for what feels like forever now. Yesterday was the first day I felt better than usual. So I went to the grocery store with my Mother. I had to pick up my prescription and pick up some birthday cards. My Mom takes FOREVER in the store. I don;t know why, but what would take Rick and I 45 mins takes her 2 hours. I was getting very tired and uncomfortable towards the end. SO when I got home I tried to relax. I was laying down and started having contractions. They were irregular but frequent. They stopped after 2 hours. I thought that I really walked this baby into labor. LOL Not so lucky.

SO today I am feeling so so. My body hurts and this cough is exhausting. Only 3 weeks left until the c-section. Unless my Doctor feels like I can have a VBAC. I am looking forward to my appointment on Wednesday. WE will see what she says about my scan :o)


Oh and does anyone know if they still do trick or treating at the Christiana Mall for kids? I am not sure how I will be feeling on Halloween and I don't want Brax to miss out on the fun. The mall would just be so much easier than walking the hood. LOL

4D!!!

Okay so I got my ultrasound yesterday. My Doctor sent me to Maternal and Fetal medicine to get a more accurate weight estimate. They are a high risk facility and monitor pregnancy that is high risk. SO their equipment is top notch. They are super nice. She talked to me and explained everything that was on the screen. My baby has a lot of hair. She estimated her weight to be 6lbs 4oz. Which is a little big but not huge. So when I go to my doctor next week we will discuss my options once again.

But the coolest part of the whole appointment was when she converted it to 4D! I have always wanted to do a 4D ultrasound, but could never afford it. But this place does it for many reasons so she just did it for me and printed me some pictures. I was so excited! Gosh I would have loved Rick to see it, because the pictures do not do it justice.

Here she is!

UGH

Well I am officially sick. I caught what the guys have/had. Yuck! SO I am trying to talk myself into feeling better for my ultrasound today. And it looks like I can't get my flu shot tomorrow because they do not give them when your already sick. Rick could not get his yesterday at school. SO I will just make an appointment when I feel better.


And the dreams about random people have not stopped. Last night it was Jason Hawes from Ghost Hunters. Wow!

35 weeks

OK well I thought I was getting an ultrasound next week, but I got a phone call on Friday to schedule right away. Hmmm, not sure why. But my appointment is tomorrow afternoon. I am excited to see her again. Last time I saw her was 19 weeks! They will give me an estimated weight. And make sure she is still.... well a she :o) She feels really big and heavy. It would be nice if they could take her out at 38 weeks :o) The sooner the better. She is kicking my butt. Not to mention wreaking havoc on my hair and complexion.

Rick has been sick for a week and hyper extended his ligament in his knee for 2 weeks now. Needless to say, he has not been much help. But I understand. Well keeping him away from Braxton did not work. Braxton has been sick for 2 days, but seems to be feeling better today. Just still stuffy and runny nose. Sounds to me like Daddy is milking it. ;o) But fingers crossed, I am not sick and plan on staying that way.

There is a flu shot clinic at my doctors office on Wednesday. I plan on going. I am not so sure about the H1N1 vaccine coming out. My Dr wants me to get the shot, but I don't know. Still up in the air about it.

Been awhile....

Well Brooklyn will be here in 5 weeks. So much has happened in the last few months!

She is doing well, and so am I. She is big, like her brother. I am 34 weeks and measuring 37! My doctor suggests another c-section. Of course I wanted to have a VBAC, but I am not going to try if the baby is large. I get a scan in 2 weeks to get an estimated weight. My weight has fluctuated during this pregnancy I would lose some, gain a few, lose again. Unlike with Brax I lost the whole time. So hopefully after birth I will at least be at my starting weight, and with the help of breastfeeding and walking I can lose some more.

I will be getting a tubal ligation. Rick and I talked about it and we decided we are happy with 2 kids and we are lucky enough to have 1 of each :o)

Dr. says that if I am up and moving around ok after my c-section she will send me home in 48 hours instead of 72. I was so glad to hear that. I just want to get home to Braxton and start our new life as a family of 4 :o)I don't want to be laying in a hospital bed when I can be at home laying in my bed! Rick has 2 weeks off, so he will be helping me while I heal.

I have experienced some contractions this time. I never felt them with Brax, but this time I feel them. If she wants to come early I am all for it :o)

SO I will keep this updated for the next few weeks since I have readers :o) Thanks Barbie and Krissy.
