24 & 25 Weeks - Chaos

Slacking over here. It's been a little chaotic these last 2 weeks. I've been making sure everything was perfect for the big move into our new apartment and the day before it crumbled. We finally were allowed to walk-through the actual apartment the day before and while inside, I noticed.... I didn't have ANY service with my work or personal cell phone (both Verizon). Then the agent proceeded to let us know that it's common for these back apartments to not get service.... What?! I work from home, so that just wasn't going to work out. We ended up pulling out and figured we spend the following day scrambling to find a new place. Halfway through the day, the original apartment place calls us and says we can have a different 2 BR 1st floor that just opened up near the front of the complex. We checked it out the next day and VOILA... It has cell service and a better location (right next to the dog park and a view of the lake from the back porch). Sold! So now we have to wait until next weekend to move in.

What's little Zoey been up to? Not much... Other than kicking her mom in the bladder and causing some waddles to the bathroom while out and about. Not so fun but it comes with the knowledge that she's A OK .. and I'll take it!

I'm sure I'll have a lot more to share after the big move... Right now it's more of a waiting game and since we've packed up so much already, like living out of your suitcase :)

Here's a pick of my big belly and Boomer admiring it... Or just wanting my attention (probably the latter).

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
