In less than two weeks I will have a tiny person in my life, which is all still too big for me to even comprehend. Even as she wiggles around in there, in a new nauseating swirly way, I am not convinced there is a REAL PERSON WHO IS A REAL PERSON WHO WILL BE… Read More 35 Weeks – Count Down
You know how some people have maternity photos taken in the woods in a dress or on a beach with the salt air and majestic sunsets or with their loving husband looking longily at their big tummy? I was lucky enough to have a dear friend offer to take photos for me and originally I… Read More Maternity Photos
Finally wrapping up the Baby Shower posts – I had my shower from my gym friends on Saturday, March 11th and we had a blast. I was 100% less nervous since everyone already knew each other (and a lot of them came straight from the gym). We had a great time, ate LOTS of lasagna… Read More Gym Shower 3/3
Went to the doctor today, like all the other Mondays, but this time we set a date. Ember Walker Rose will (assuming no excitement between now and then) will be evicted from her current residence on Wednesday, April 12th. A friend sent me a funny string of “if your baby could send you text messages”… Read More Eviction Notice & SOS List
Went to the High Risk doctor this morning for the usual weekly scans. All looked good – blood pressure was fine, kiddo is still doing her breathing. They did a weight estimate and she’s up to 4lbs 5ozs – which is pretty impressive (you’re WELCOME for all those milkshakes, baby). When they estimated her weight… Read More And then he said “37 weeks”
34 Weeks is here. I’m glad kiddo has yet to be evicted from her current lease – this week’s regular doctor appointment went fine. Her heart rate looked good and she was active. We sat and talked for a while about the plan from here, which can be summed up by “hurry up and wait.”… Read More 34 Weeks
This week marks 33 – saw my regular doctor for another round of listening to kiddo’s heart rate and all looked good. She was held up at the hospital a bit and I ended up sitting there for an hour, which was all well and good until I realized how much water I’d had to drink that… Read More 33 Weeks – Moving Along + Milkshakes
My doctor recently told me that each week things look okay, she and the high risk doctors will be less and less concerned. This week, I saw the same high risk doctor that saw me at 28 weeks – the one who had me pretty freaked out, told me to drink two protein shakes a… Read More High Risk Etc
32nd week here (32/40 = 80% pregnant, but considering we’re talking about going a little early, probably more like 32/38=84.2%). Went to the doctor Monday and was happy to have a decent blood pressure reading and show off my homework (“See?! It’s fine at home!”) to which she laughed and said “oh, it’s just ME… Read More 32 Weeks – Baby Showers & Doctors
One of the things that my doctor mentioned earlier this week was that each week we keep this tiny person in her current home, the better and more optimistic everyone will be. So when I mentioned that each time I went to the High Risk Doctors the stories seemed better and better, she felt like… Read More High Risk #4 & The Conclusion of Cookie Quest 2017
