33 weeks

I am starting to feel anxious about the arrival of our baby.  I asked S last night if he was at all and he said he was too, mainly that he won't be here when it's go time.  :)  I've already put a few people on high alert just in case S is too far away to make it back here to get me to the hospital.  My worries are the unknown of when I will go into labor, how will Izzy do, having a baby 24/7 that is my/our responsibility...I know it's all out of my control but that's what makes me so anxious.

I have my second baby shower tomorrow 9/8/12, pretty excited about it!

Hard day

It seems recently that most days are easier than others when it comes to not having my 2 babies here with me but today is a hard day despite being 51 days away (give or take) from meeting this wonderful baby.  Maybe it's the gloominess outside this morning or maybe it's the quiet that so often in the past has crept into my day that I've always found hard to get myself away from.  Whatever the reason for this hard day being upon me I will try to embrace it and remember my babies today.

32 weeks

We had our 32 week appointment, nothing to report other than everything with the baby is great!  Good strong heartbeat and measuring right on track.  My feet are really swollen after being on them for 2 days straight without much sitting or taking breaks.  This past Saturday 9/1/12 we, me and the baby, went to one of my best friend's bridal shower and bachlorette parties.  Holy man did it make me feel old and pregnant by the end of the night but I'm ok with that :)  I cannot wait until her wedding, fingers crossed we make it, it's on 10/13/12...13 days before my due date.  I also mentioned to my mom how strange it was there was only 8 weeks left until baby time and how at 8 weeks with 32 weeks left I was freaking out that something was wrong with the baby...I feel so blessed.  My aunt left me a wonderful voicemail on 9/1/12 saying I can now officially say I'm having a baby next month, so crazy never even crossed my mind!

31 weeks

I am really starting to feel pregnant these days, I can hardly bend over, takes me longer to walk from place to place, etc.  I can hardly believe there are about 9 weeks left, it's sort of making me sad at the thought of not being pregnant anymore but really excited to see this little baby.  I had a super strange dream that I had went into labor and S left the hospital to go shopping, I ended finding out the baby was breach and needed a c section and he wasn't worried about nor did he rush back to the hospital...I guess I'm starting to get anxious about labor and delivery. 

30 weeks

Oops missed my 30 week update!  We had our 30 week appointment on Friday 8/17 and I'm happy to report all is well with our baby!  I cannot believe we are about 10 weeks away from meeting our little miracle soooooooooooooooo crazy.

29 weeks

Lots of uncomfortableness...heartburn, sore back, numb feet/legs, sleeplessness but that's all to be expected at this point.  ONLY 76 DAYS!  I feel like I was just saying 99 days.  Where does the time go?!

28 weeks/3rd trimester & 2 years

OH MY GOSH WE MADE IT TO THE 3rd TRIMESTER!!!  We're in the home stretch which is really hard to believe in 3 months (ish) we will have a baby in our house.  I feel like I say that all the time but it's still hard to wrap my head around. 

We had our 28 week appointment Friday 8/3/12 everything is great with the baby, heart rate is 150s.  My belly is measuring 26 weeks but that's to be expected when the baby is sitting on my spine!  I passed my 1 hour glucose test with a 99 and found out my iron is a little low but not too concerning just need to incorporate more iron rich foods into my diet...bring on the liver and heart YUCK!  We actually saw a nurse practitioner who recommended I go see a chiro for my back issues I've been having.  Otherwise all is well.  Next appointment is in 2 weeks!

Today 8/4/12 is baby SC EDD.  I was expecting today to feel a lot more sad but as of now I'm feeling ok just weird to think I should have a 2 year old.  No matter how many children we have baby SC will always be my first baby.  I cannot wait to see you again!  I love you and miss you everyday!
