Went to the doctors this morning.......I lost 3 lbs and baby grew 1 cm (measuring 38 cm) she is still head down and I was having a contraction when he was checking me so that's a good sign my body is getting ready. I am 50% effaced but still only a dimple. You ask why I lost three pounds well I got a little sick on Sunday and couldn't eat much and was down on the couch for two days. I am feeling better now but I do think my body is getting ready for this little one to come into the world. I have been a lot more uncomfortable this pass week and have had a lot more braxton hicks the past few days. I would have to say that I don't like this not know crap. I know most if not all pregnant woman go through it. But I am such a planner that I hate not knowing things. Jeremy is getting so excited himself he doesn't want her to come until the 10th of Oct. (for taking work off) but I think he is just as ready to meet this little one. He has been getting as many jobs around the house done so when she gets here he can spend more time with her. It will be nice to have him home for a week or so after she comes!
This last Saturday I had my last baby shower and my Grammi J's. It turned out really well and she got a ton more things. My mom, sister Keesha, nephew Jarryn and even my little sister Kylee came in and surprised me for the shower. It was nice to have them all here. I was sad my little sister Kenzi couldn't make it up. But hopefully everything will work out and she can come up and spend some time with me when the baby gets here.
I had my doctors appt. yesterday........I didn't gain anything this week and baby grew 1 cm. Still measuring just right. He checked me and said I'm still thick and closed so nothing yet, which for us right now is good. I would have to say I'm ready to hear something is happening but I don't want us to go early and have the headache of insurance, So baby needs to wait tell Oct 1st and then she is good to come anytime. Last night I was feeling braxton hicks contractions all night so I didn't sleep well but I guess thats the beginning of whats to come. It's nice that they don't hurt but they make the baby move a lot which in turn keeps me up. I just can't wait to be able to see and hold her! Its getting really exciting to think that I only have three weeks left.
Last night I also had a friend baby shower. It was really nice my friend Amy threw it for me. We had a light dinner, opened some gifts and then just sat around and chatted. It was nice to see some people from Skywest I have missed seeing everyone from there. I was sad that some didn't make it but I guess that just means we need to do stuff more often!
Last Saturday I also had a baby shower for the Coon's side of the family. Patti (Jeremy's mom) threw that one for us. It was a great turn out and baby got a ton of stuff. Grandma Dyches made the baby a lot of blankets which I love. My mom and Grammi J came out to it also. It was nice to have my mom come up for it and got to spend sometime just chatting with her. It would be nice to live a little closer to my mom but I guess St. George isn't forever away and its nice she still has flight benefits.
Today is also my moms birthday! I just wanted to tell her that we love her and hope she is having a great day. We will have to go out and do something one of the time we get together!
Had my doctors apt today.........I've gained 2 lbs......baby grew 2 cm she is measuring 36 cm, right on track! And baby is head down (NO FLIPPING BABY!) From this apt on the doctor will be checking me for any signs she ready to come and this trip she's not even close. He said "you are thick and closed" so I guess she is very comfy in there. My mom told me "I guess this means we need to start walking" So after next Monday I will be 37 weeks (full term) so I will be walking my heart out (or I guess baby out!!) I would have to say having the doctor check you isn't the funnest thing to have done! But I guess I shouldn't complain to much I'm sure it hurts a lot worse to actually have the baby, I better save my OUCHES for that.
Me at 35 Weeks
I went to the doctor yesterday.......I've gained 2 lbs and the baby has grown 1 cm. My blood work was all normal which he said was very rare in a pregnant woman. So no anemia and no diabetes!!! I would have to say I have been very lucky.....besides being nausea sick everything else is going good. I haven't had to deal with cramping, bleeding, or anything with the baby. I definitely think we were supposed to have this baby now. I can't believe that I only have 6 weeks left. Its crazy how fast it has gone.
I had my shower down in St. George a couple weeks ago and it went really well. I was so happy with the turn out. Thanks to my mom, sisters and my grammi J. The baby got a lot of fun stuff. After I got it home I couldn't wait to show it all to Jeremy and lay it out for everyone to see. It was also nice to see all the friends we have. We definitely had a FULL house that day. I was also way excited Jeremy's grandma was able to make it. It's hard for her to leave Grandpa alone so it was nice of her to come and visit for a little bit. We need to get down there to visit them more often.
As you read before Jeremy's 30th birthday was on Monday the 24th. So this last weekend we went camping up at his mom's cabins. It was fun to get out of the heat, but I think the altitude didn't agree with a third trimester girl. I had some problems getting breaths and was a little light headed so I just kind of sat around but I think Jeremy had fun. His Grandma and Grandpa Dyches came up for a day. So Jeremy, Patti, Trip, Grandpa, Grandma, Rover and Paizlee went on a four wheeler ride. They said they had a lot of fun taking the dogs down to the lake. I think the dogs enjoyed it also. Rover is a funny dog he LOVES camping but then he runs on the rocks and gets himself so exhausted. I think if he could he would call the cabin or camping his home!!
Oh I also wanted to post that my older sister Keesha and brother-in-law Greg are expecting a baby this coming Feb. I am so excited for them. I think Jarryn is excited also. He says he wants a sister so he can have "two sisters and two brothers". So I guess when we welcome our little girl we will find out what they are having. We are thinking she should find out right about the same time. And they also just go a new house. I am so glad things are going well for them.
Well I guess that's it for now. We have a couple free weekends and then I am going to have a few more baby showers so I will update on all that later.
I just wanted to wish Jeremy a Happy 30th Birthday today. I hope you have a great birthday, especially because you don't have to work. I love you so much and am glad to call you my husband and best friend! :-) I couldn't have asked for a better husband! Just think next year you will have a little one saying happy birthday daddy!
Had my doctors apt. today......I've gained 1 pound and she gain 3cm which means still big. The doctor actually called her fat today!! His words "I think this baby just wants to be fat" He also said her heart beat sounds good and to come back in three weeks. I can't believe I only have 10 weeks left maybe less. I would have to say I'm getting to the done stage but I know I will miss being pregnant. I'm sure Jeremy would love to have his wife back also. I've been emotional lately and will just cry for no reason. Luckily Jeremy has been good about it and he will just come and hug me. Sometimes he will ask whats wrong but usually there isn't a reason so he just says "the pregnancy" and I just nod. He has been pretty good through this whole thing, with me being sick and not working and all. Money has been a little stressful but it sounds like everyone is going through that right now. People are just in different situations! The main thing I have found is TALK it out with your spouse because holding it in is the worst thing to do!
This Friday and Saturday we will go to our birthing class. I'm pretty excited about it but I'm not sure how Jeremy feels. I told him the other day "you know they will probably show a "birth" video at this class" Jer-"that's when you will need/want a snack right!!!" I don't think he is looking forward to that part but it will be nice for both of us to learn things we will be going through as first time parents. And then next weekend I will be having my first baby shower. It will be exciting to get some much needed things for this little girl. I will have to update you on all the stuff coming up.
So I need some help/advice again. I just started looking at mattresses for the crib and was wondering if there is one better than others? whats a good price to pay? etc. Please let me know what you think!
