30 wks!!

Today I had my 30 wk appt. Now I will start to go every two weeks. This is the part of the pregnancy that really goes fast. I passed the glugose test!! Yeah for me. To date I have gain 16lbs. Good Grief!! I am pretty sure now I will blow right past my goal of 20 lbs. Oh well, such is life. Baby is gowing great and my doc is happy with my progress. I have been sleeping in the recliner more and more these days. It gives the lumbar support that I am needing these days. I plan on getting a prenatal massage and a pedi some time next week.

Done with the painting. Still need to add in all the "extras"

Home stretch

So now I am officially in my 3rd trimester. Finally seems to be going fast. My last visit went great. I had to do the yucky glucose test. It was absolutely as horrible as I remember it to be, and worse. I had to really talk to myself in order not to throw up. That would have entitled me to another shot. I haven't heard anything so that means I passed. I was up another 2 lbs. Not bad for a whole month. Still having issues with pelvic pain, Yuck. I got a belly support belt and my doc wrote a note for me not to work two 12 hr shifts in a row. Hopefully this will help otherwise it will be a LONG 83 days.
I am starting to feel really nervous about having three kids. Now that things are getting close to being done all I think about is if I can deal with this.
Jacob is really getting excited. He loves to feel the baby move and talks to my belly a lot. Jeffrey still could care less.
We started working on the baby room today. I will post pics when it is finished. Still no name. AAHHH I hope it will come to me.
Love...

Ultrasound

Our little no name is doing good. We did our ultrasound and 23 week visit today. He appears to be doing just fine. The fetal echo did not show any problems. The DR said that pulmonary stenosis was nearly impossible to detect on US though. His current weight was approx 1 lb 4 oz and measured out right on with his dates. He is currently in the breech position soooooo he better turn around. He has plenty of time though. I was really excited to see the 3D/4D imaging. I think he has a nose similar to Jeff. AWWWWWWW.

He is nuzzled up to my placenta!

As for me. I am starting to feel much better. Nausea has pretty much subsided, although his moving is a little sickening(especially when I am already on the edge). My complaints now would be that my pubic bone feels like it is splitting. At about 8hours into my shift at work I start to have a hard time walking down the hall. Frankly, it hurts so bad I want to cry. I also am having a hard time sleeping through the night. I pretty much I am up from 2am-5am. Weight gain to this point is 9 lbs. I hope to not get past 20 lbs, however I really enjoy desserts right now so I might exceed this limit I have placed on myself.
Aug is right a round the corner. I have a feeling this one will come sometime between 36 and 37 weeks (Aug 2nd to Aug 9th). This is just a feeling. I will be ready to kill someone if I go past my due date.
Lots of Love.

Here is Jeff's 3D. Very similar I think!

Just 1 month of growth!

Can you believe how fast these little miracles grow. Just about one month since the last scan Laura did and I am just blown away. I am now almost done with the first trimester and thank God for that. Hopefully the next one will include a lot more energy and a lot less puking.

Today is a good day!

So far so good today (knocking on wood). Hope it will continue that way. So far my doc visits have been great. I am scheduled again for 2/27. This time we should be able to hear the baby on a doppler. I plan to bring Jake this time so he can hear too.
