33 Weeks 2 Days

Hi there! Time is slipping away faster and faster it seems. Sorry I have forgotten to do my blog in 3 weeks. But you haven't missed a whole lot anyway. Let's see, I have been doing Non-Stress Tests twice a week at the doctors office for the last 3 weeks. Everything seems to be going well as long as the baby is awake when the nurses want him to be awake, which sometimes this is hard to do. Take yesterday for example... I had my NST at 10am when usually the baby is awake, but the little bugger would not wake up for an hour. He'd give a kick here or there but nothing that they really wanted to see. Then I had my regular doctor appt at 11am. She wasn't happy that son would not wake up. So she wanted me back on the monitors until he gave them what they wanted. This seemed to be an impossible task to do. I sat on the monitors again for another 35-40 minutes waiting for him to wake up. Finally got him to do what he was suppose to do, but it took forever! Everyone was happy and I finally got to go. The doctor is still fooling around with my insulin doses as my blood sugar levels are still not coming down. And it's not from lack of trying either. But I do what I can with the diet and shots and the insulin has to do the rest.

We had our last "baby" class last night which was called New Born Baby Care and that was pretty interesting. Very informative and A LOT of information. Tomorrow we have our hospital tour in Walnut Creek and we are looking forward to that one. I can't wait to see where I will be giving birth to our son.

At this point I think we are looking at me leaving work in about 2 1/2 more weeks. Friday April 10th will probably be my last day at work. I'm looking forward to that as well!!! 2 1/2 months off will probably fly by, I'm sure. I'm hoping to go back to work around July 6th if everything goes my way of course. :)

So that's it for now. Not a lot of new information at this point. Still haven't gained any weight either. :) Really happy about that! OH - the baby's room is done for the most part. Jason has put the crib together and finished building son's dresser. It looks pretty much complete now. I love it! Jason did an excellent job on everything!!! He's such a proud father.

Until next time... Love to all!

30 Weeks 2 Days

Salutations! Our weekend started off with taking a trip to Walnut Creek Hospital to Labor & Delivery on Saturday night at midnight. I started spotting more again and was more then the previous week. We called and the staff wanted me to come out this time just in case. So off we went. They put me on monitors and listened to the baby's heartbeat and watched to see if I was having contractions. Baby sounded good and no contraction. So they did other poking and prodding, another ultrasound and some other stuff I'm not too sure about. The cause could not be found and we were released around 3:00am on Sunday morning. We collapsed in our bed at 4:00am. Ugh.

I had my regular check up with my doctor this morning. She read what my chart said and didn't seem too concerned about Saturday's events. That's good. She's still trying to get my diabetes under control and raised my insulin levels again. She is now starting me on the Non Stress Tests twice a week starting next week. Not sure what all that will detail. I'm going to be quite the regular at the doctors office from now until the baby comes, which will still probably be at the end of April (38 weeks). All in all she was happy with my weight (I'm not gaining a pound thus far) and my blood pressure. My eating habits have changed because of the diabetes and she very happy about that. So things are looking good.

I'm still feeling quite droopy though. I would love to sleep for like a week solid. My energy level is really low. I'm missing my fruit juice and fruit a lot! I'm getting very impatient with people in general and I'm still crying at everything. Sheesh! I'm a mess. My belly isn't really big and was confirmed by a friend over the weekend, which made me feel really good. But you can tell I am prego and not just fat. :)

We didn't get a lot done on the baby's room this weekend like I thought, but hopefully that will change this week. I'm hoping to get the carpet down and get some furniture in there and get all the wonderful clothes put away.

WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAS DONATED CLOTHES TO US! We have so many clothes we don't know what to do with it all. We are set for the first year for sure! Thank you!!!

Jessica is almost done with the invitations for the shower. Invitations should be going out this weekend I think. :) Thanks Jess!!!

Well the count down has begun... 8 more weeks!!! Son will be here before we all know it. :D

Love to all!!!
