14 Weeks!

I know I said I'd more than likely have that fun boy/girl news... Didn't happen. Still waiting... Such torture. I want to know! Then I can talk to you (lil Bug) with your name.... That'll be nice.

I guess this week marks the official second trimester, whoop whoop. 🤰

I'm eating healthier, my fasting numbers haven't been great which means I'll probably end up on insulin at night. I have an appointment with the doctor for this on Wednesday. I feel great though. Haven't gained any weight yet, but it's probably due to the fact that I'm being more active and healthy. I have had quite a few headaches lately, nothing crazy.

I am dying to feel you in there... I can't wait to start feeling those flutters everyone talks about... The pop, pop, bubbles. Should be soon according to Google.

Not much else going on this week other than getting to visit with Aunt Dawn, Uncle Mike and Brie while they were visiting. That was exciting. I'm missing my family terribly, so it's nice to have some in-laws close by and visiting.

Speaking of family, looks like September visit is a GO! I can't freaking wait. It'll be a week visit and I'm sure to fit everyone in.

Guess that's about all for this update, hopefully next week I'll finally have that news.

Weeks 26 & 27 - Moving

It's catch up time again! Why has it been so long? Well, we moved! I am completely exhausted. probably not the best time to move... being pregnant and all... but it made so much sense. We moved out of our fancy 1 bedroom in Charlotte, NC (with the granite counters, hardwood, fancy water/ice dispenser fridge, etc) and into a 2 bedroom in Lake Wylie, SC (with less upgrades but more room and privacy). This place is only 15 minutes from our old place in Charlotte and is on the 1st floor - perfect for taking out 2 dogs and hauling around a newborn baby. It had a wonderful view of the lake and woods from our back porch and having 2 bathrooms is key when pregnant and kicking your husband out of his "man cave" (a.k.a. bathroom) when you have a baby sitting on your bladder 24/7. I'm also really excited to have a place for Zoey, her own nursery/bedroom that we can decorate and make special for her. My nesting is kicking in full time and I've been non-stop unpacking and putt...

11 Weeks!!

Okay, I've been sooo bad with posting. Partly because I have to do this on my phone, and I HATE having to type out long entries this way. I finally gave up and downloaded the Blogger app because I really want this account to be something to share and look back upon. So.... What's been going on?! Well, everything is progressing well. I've been off and on nauseous, boobs are huge and sore, my sense of smell is amazing and I hate the smell of fried 🐔 chicken. No huge cravings but my blood test showed a high level that put me on alert for possibly developing Gestational Diabetes. This means changing things up with my diet... Yay. Avoiding lots of carbs and sugar mostly. Another thing... Because of the prior DVT clot, they have me on Lovenox to thin my blood. It's a fun shot I take every night that burns. My wonderful husband gives it to me. It's annoying but I know it's the best for both the baby and I. Oh, Chris made me amaizing little candles from my Oui Yo...

36 & 37 weeks - Let the countdown begin!

Ahhh... so much has happened. I can't believe I've been so negligent about the blog!! First thing is first... I have my induction date! We will be heading to the hospital 7 am on Friday, December 27th. I spoke with the doctor and nurse midwife and they confirmed that she could be born either the 27th or 28th depending on how far dilated I am that day. They checked me last Friday and he said I wasn't quite dilated yet but they will continue to monitor the next 2 weeks. If I go in and I am still not dilated, the plan is to give me a magic pill to soften things up, spend a long boring morning/afternoon in the hospital waiting and then they would start me on Pitocin (essentially Oxytocin to get contractions going) either that night or early the next morning. So... if all goes according to that plan, she will probably be born sometime Dec 28th - which is also my Mother-in-law's birthday!! She's excited to potentially share her birthday with her Grandbaby. However, ...
