Midwife Appointment 3/25

So apparently my uterus is 31 weeks even though, according the counter is saying that I'm 29w3d. Scott is currently posterior, head down and heart rate is 130s. According to lab tests, my glucose test said that my glucose was 94 after an hour so, no diabetes (YAY). Plus, (I can't remember the name right now something about metabolizing sugars and the size of the baby) is 4.8, which means that Scott is average size and my body is metabolizing sugars properly. I'm still a little anemic but, much much better than a few weeks ago. I have gained 21 lbs so far and it is pretty much all baby/boobs.

3/22

One step forward two steps backward. I have decided this is going be my theme song.

I have started selling my diapers and I'm hoping that I will have a little more successful than I have been online. Even though, a part of me wants to continue to sell online but, it seems like I'm always a step behind in presenting my designs.

Midwife Appointment for 3/10

Our midwife appointment was a good one. My uterus is 28w1d instead of my being 27w2d, which is fine, I have a little extra fluid in there (no worries). I had my glucose testing and should find out those results in two weeks because I have to go back for Rhogram shot. His heartbeat was in the 130s and they are figuring that he is 50 - 60% for size (so average size) plus, he was head down during the appointment. My blood pressure was 112/66, which is awesome and I have gained 19 lbs at this moment (and that never has happened before). As of today, we have 88 days until his estimated due date. This pregnancy seems to flying by so quickly, maybe b/c he has been my easiest pregnancy.

What to do?

Move closer to Bill's job and pay less for rent and/or mortgage BUT, lesser programs for WES?
OR
Stay in the area we are in, pay higher rent/mortgage BUT, have great programs for WES?

WES went to school without an issue this morning, which was awesome and hoping that it continues. MacKenna and I went to a friend's house for a playgroup, which was much needed get together. Came home to find Bill on the couch with another migraine unfortunately for him, I wish I could help him with the fact that he keeps getting them lately. At this point, I want to boycott our local Wal-Mart because it sucks in that I was trying to pay with a check b/c I forgot my wallet (which meant no license) meanwhile WES is telling me that he has to potty. He decided to give me a hard time about not having my license or any other form of ID, I know that he was trying to be funny by saying, "so you ran over here with no license or anything" but, when you have a 4yr old telling you that he has to potty stupid comments like that aren't funny. I ended up walking out and told the guy that I didn't appreciate comment and I will be taking my business elsewhere. Finally was able to migraine medicine for Bill and dinner for the kids/I later than I planned but, it all good. Tomorrow, I have my glucose testing and I have to get my rhogram shot.

One Step Closer

We got the birthing tub and the accessories for it today, which means we are one more step closer to being ready for this baby to arrive. The idea that we have 10 weeks as a minimum (if he is like his siblings) left is very strange and just makes me that more motivated to get things prepared for his arrival. Granted, I have a feeling that he isn't coming until after estimated due date anyways.

3/5

Bill has been home for a few days, which has been helpful especially since I have working on custom diaper order and I get to other household chores done. WES is starting to adjust that Bill takes him to pre-school in the morning and I pick him up in the afternoon. We went and finished the baby registry at Babies-R-Us then came home to have homemade pizza. The baby has been rolling and kicking a lot, which is different than how WES and MacKenna were because seems to be very active during the day but, very quiet at night so, only time will tell.

Three out of the four loves of my lives.

Our bubba kissing my belly. He said afterwards, "wake up baby it is time to come out and play with us." I have to keep reminding him that baby S still has a few months to grow in mom before he can come over and play.
