26 Weeks!

Today marks 26 weeks ... and Christmas is in 3 days! We are so close the the milestone of when Malia was born, I think New Years Eve will be the day, 27 weeks and 4 days. Which is also our Wedding Anniversary. So this year we have so much to celebrate. I went to the doc yesterday and all is well. Doctor Weiderman said that we keep looking for issues and there are no issues. Blood pressure and swelling are fine as long as I stay mellow. If i do too much I swell, so being mellow is working. I had another appointment of no weight gain! Yay! I was so relieved about that because I have had my moments of sweets but in general Ive been eating pretty healthy. I would love to not gain another pound for the rest of my pregnancy ... but im sure I will... so ohh well. I just need to do the best I can and that's all I can do. Last night I had a dream that baby boy was born at 7 pounds and 7 ounces .. and he was a chunky monkey. I am really looking forward to the holidays and being with family and celebrating feeling good. We have so much to be grateful for and I am so grateful!

Next doc appointment is in 3 weeks because my doc will be on vacation .. and the 28 week ultrasound is in two weeks on January 4th. I also have to take my gestational diabetes testing and get my shot for having a RH negative blood type ... both happen at 28weeks. 

25 Weeks and Counting ...

Not much to report ... everything seems to be going good with the baby. Morgan and I had a chance to register at 9 months later in the Eureka mall. That was fun to discover all the new baby things out that weren't around when we had Malia. And all the boy related things which are a whole new world. Sleeping has become a major issue .. Im super uncomfortable and feeling a lot of aches and pains so the next several weeks will be a big challenge.

Ive been going through my pregnancy with two other best friends, both are 4 weeks ahead of me. We all were so sick and having the same worries and challenges. One of them went to the doc at 28-30 weeks to discover no heart beat out of the blue. This has been so devastating. They think the cord straggled the baby .. but aren't for sure what went wrong. Its heart breaking to get so far along and have something that devastating happen. So Ive been very sad for my friend. We all certainly don't know whats in store for us every single day. This pregnancy thing is a very fragile. Sending lots of love to my friend.

24 Weeks!

On Tuesday we hit another big milestone .... 24 weeks! Which means the baby is viable outside the womb. Although that would be horrible and wont happen ... it still feels good to make it here and feel healthy and happy. It is such a relief that the swelling and high bp has disappeared ... feels like a miracle has happened. I now am super confident that baby boy will come when he is supposed too. I had my 4th ultrasound yesterday, baby boy measured 1 pound and 3 ounces ... which they said is normal for 24 weeks. Its amazing since Malia was born at 1 pound and 7 ounces.  I cant wait to hear he is 6 pounds or more :) next doc appointment is this Monday ... and the next ultrasound is at 28weeks.
