36 weeks

Four weeks left to go and everything is almost ready for her arrival. Just a few odds and ends I still need to buy either for myself or for her. Dr's apt this week went well. She gained 6oz and now weighs 5lbs 4oz, I also gained 2lbs so I'm over my 20lb mark by 1lb. I didn't have any change in my cervix and she said next week I'll get yet another u/s to monitor her weight gain and will also discuss the options of getting her here. The Dr's says she should weigh at least 6lbs when she is born, but we'll see. I'd like to have her this month, so I can get back to work sooner and also cause the birthstone is prettier. October is an opal where Nov is an orange stone, not so pretty. Besides mom will be coming Nov 4Th and would rather have her visit with Adrionna then just me. Since she won't see her again until June or July when we go up to RI to get her baptized.

5 Weeks to go!!

With having only 5 weeks to go I'm getting very anxious to met Adrionna. I'm now on weekly Dr's appts and u/s. When I went this week I was a fingetip dialated, and she weighed 4lbs 140z. She's very small so hopefully she puts on alil more weight before she arrives. We got two swings, one from a friend and one from Candi. This is great so now I can have one in the bedroom and one in the living room. Adrionna is very active and her daddy loves to feel her move. I've gained 19lbs so far so not doing to badly. Sugers have been good for the most part, I'll be happy when she comes and I can go back to eating whatever I want again.

34 weeks

Less than 40 days we should have alil girl to share our home with. We are very excited to meet her and I'm very excitied to get back to work. This staying home buisness is soo damn boring, plus it doesn't pay the bills, we are struggling month to month. This definelty won't happen again with the next pregnancy, I'll be looking shortly after I return to work for a new job that will allow me to work my whole pregnancy. We are actually looking to move to TN on the boarder of NC where there's more medical jobs for me. It probably won't be till spring/summer but we'll see. Depends on how bad the mold is this winter in the house. I went to the chiroprator today and jumped on their scale, it said I gained 3 1/2 lbs since last Wed, I hope thats not right. I go back next Wed Oct 7th for my next appt and can't imagine gaining another 3lbs before I get there.

33 weeks

The countdown is really on... I'm feeling good for the most part have bad back pain in between my shoulder blades if I sit at the computer to long. Also have pain under my right ribs where her butt and legs are, she's getting pretty cramped in there. She's weighing in at 4lbs 2oz right now and my weight is 175lbs, I gained my 2lbs back I had lost 4lbs but thats fine. Her room is just sitting their waiting for her. I've bought a few things she didn't have yet, but there is still more I need to get. Also got what we needed for the hospital and labor to help ease the pain. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

8 weeks left

32 weeks and counting down the weeks. The back pain is getting worse along with the pain under the ribs. I can't sit in the computer chair very long cause my back starts to really hurt. I've also been experiencing severe hip pain. I'm guessing my body is getting ready for her arrival and is letting my hips get loose to get into place for delivery. We've gone to a breast feeding class and found it to be very informative. We also met our new babysitter for Adrionna, very nice and intelligent lady who's got kids of her own. She's going to watch her for $20.00 a day which is great for us considering we only need her for two days mostly. We go next week for another u/s hopefully we'll get another 3d one, there really neat. She's been rolling around in there and amazing Carl every time he watches her move. I also had my shower this week, it was ok but would have been nicer if the invitations had been sent out 2-3 weeks before not less than a week before. I got some stuff but not what I was hoping for.

31 Weeks

I've been really slacking on the blogging, I'm getting tired now alot and just don't have the energy to do alot of things. I don't know if she's having a growth spirt and stealing all my energy or what. She's moving all around, constantly. Carl & I still go for our evening walks for my suger which has been doing very well. We went to the dr this week and I lost 3lbs which she said is ok, and is very happy with my sugers. We also got a 3d picture of her from the u/s which is really cool. I'll have another u/s in two weeks when I go back.

30 weeks

With only 10 weeks left, things are getting there. Her room is done and has been for about 2 weeks now. I went to the dr on Thursday and my placenta has moved up so no C-section for that. My sugers where good and I lost 1lb. Baby girl weighs 2lbs 14oz and is right on scheduale for Nov 7th. Me on the other hand are having a problem now with low amniotic fluid, she said it's just alil low. So will have another u/s in 2 weeks on Sept 9th to see how it is looking. I've been getting the Braxton Hicks contractions and I think some regular ones. They cause alot of heavy pressure and some pain. I've had a few that I actually had to breathe through. Tonight starts our 1st lamaze class, we've got 3 of them. It's been 13 years for me and 17 for Carl so hopefully we learn something.
