30 Weeks Doctor Visit

We had our 30 week doctor visit today. The baby weighs 3 lbs 1 oz and measures just right for his age. We had a 3d ultrasound, so I'll try to post the picture of him in the next day or so. This is a pic of me looking rough after a long day. I have a sore throat/cough that has kept me awake for a few nights, so I've been getting some experience with sleep deprivation!

I'll now start going to the doctor every 2 weeks for the next 3 visits.

29 Weeks! Update

I'm happy to report that I passed my sugar test! YAY! I'm totally thrilled with that news! I'll post some pics either today or tomorrow! Ricky keeps reminding me that we need to take another pic soon! :) He says I'm looking different than I did a few weeks ago, yes that means bigger! :)

Doctor Visit -28 weeks

I had my 28 week doctor visit today and glucose tolerance test. I really hope I pass the test, but I haven't heard yet. The doc said everything is fine so far. I measured on track. He said my weight gain is good and as expected. YAY! So though I've been eating like a piglet and feel really chubby, it's ok! The baby's heartbeat was 125 bpm which is within normal range.

Next time we go to the doctor I'll be 30 weeks and we'll have a 3D ultrasound! We can't wait to see him again, it has been a long time! Pics to follow soon! :)

27 Weeks

Here's me at 27 weeks! The bump is growing!! :)

Doctor Visit - 26 Weeks

I had a doctor's appointment today! The baby's heartbeat was 128 bpm. I measured 27 weeks, but the doctor said that's pretty normal. I actually asked a few questions which was nice for a change! In two weeks I'll go back and have a diabetes test. YUCK! :) Then, I think 2 weeks after that we'll have another ultrasound. I'll be 30 weeks by then.

Christmas 2008

This is a picture of us on Christmas day. I just thought I'd stick it on here real quick. We had a great Christmas this year. We also enjoyed thinking of how very different our next Christmas will be! We should have an 8 or 9 month old by then!!! It will definitely be interesting!

We are still working on our baby name dilemma! Now I know why people name their kids some of the names they pick, DESPERATION! Coming up with a name has truly been a challenge. Last night we went to Books-A-Million and bought 2 more baby name books. We'll see how it goes when we start looking in them. So far we've ruled out some of the names in the 64,000 Ultimate Baby Names book, some examples include: Cack, Cactus, Candle, Citronella, etc... Yes, those were actually listed in the boy section. Hopefully the medicine they give me during labor/delivery will not make me loopey enough to name my baby boy Citronella!

Nursery Pics

Well, it is Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas everyone! Ricky got me a new digital camera, so I just tried it out by taking some nursery pics and one of me from a different angle.

This is the wall on the right when you walk into the nursery. Our theme is jungle and the colors are mostly green and yellow.

This is the wall that is straight ahead when you walk into the nursery. Ricky painted an "accent wall" in dark green. We didn't want to repaint the whole room because that would require scaffolding - no thank you!!!!

And here's me at 25 weeks and 2 days pregnant! My baby bump seems to grow everyday, so I can't imagine what I might look like 3 months from now! As long as he's healthy though, nothing else matters! I'll just have to take him for daily strolls to work off the "baby weight" when it's all over with!
