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.

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,

5 weeks, 5 days

So... this is feeling real now. It's still VERY early and I haven't even had my first ultrasound yet... but I feel very pregnant. My chest is killing me, I can't wear a bra around the house because it's too much. I have some nausea (no vomiting, thankfully) and some aversion to smells - today my husband made this "Chicken Pot Pie" soup and it smelled SOOOO bad, like cat food.  I have to hand it to Chris though, he's being so good about making sure I am comfortable and doing things around the house. I can't imagine doing this without him.  He finally let me tell his mother, I've been dying to for awhile now... but he's so hesitant because of what happened last time. I definitely understand that. I'm reluctant myself. I've only told Ari, Marsha and now my Mother-in-Law. It's hard because the more people you tell, if something goes wrong... it was hard last time to have to let people know. It's better to wait and be 100% tha

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
