We have an end date!

I had my OB appointment yesterday. All is well. My blood pressure was 108/? (why can i never remember that second number) and my weight was the same. My urine sample was normal. Measuring normal and heard Ashley's heart beat right away. My doctor was just so happy that I have made it passed 26 weeks. Even when he heard Ashley's heart beating he said "man thats just so good to hear!" He wants me to go for the 3hr glucose test, so I'm going to try to do that tomorrow. He is pretty sure I don't have gestational diabetes. Being that I'm not spilling any sugars into my urine, and Ashley isn't overly large for her gestational age. But I still have to do the darn test. Please send me positive thoughts I don't pass out or throw up while doing it! lol

Also we scheduled my C-section date! February 10th. Wow its so strange to have an "end date". But its also nice to have it planned, cause I'm very much a planner! Who knows if Ashley will decide if she wants to surprise her mommy & daddy (after 37 weeks of course!) or if she will continue to behave and stay in till we say its okay to come out. =-)

Speaking of "End date" I'm really wishing this stomach flu around here would END! Sunday night Larry started throwing up. He thought it was just an ulcer flare up cause he hasn't been taking his nexium. But after a few days of feeling bad and living in the bathroom, we figured out it was indeed a stomach virus cause Anthony started having blow out. Anthony's doesn't seem to be as bad as Larry's case, or should say Anthony deals with it a whole lot better then his daddy did? So far today we have only had 1 blow out diaper but he's continued to eat and drink. He is a bit more laid back today. Hanging out on the couch a lot. So I'm trying to take advantage of that, cause after taking care of Larry and then Anthony, I'm a very tired pregnant mommy! I'm just really hoping I don't get it, cause no one will take care of me if I do. =-(

28 weeks 6 days

Today I had an appointment with the hi-risk doctor. My blood pressure was a little high when I got there. 132/?. But the nurse said she would take it again after I had my ultrasound. My weight was good. Gained 3lbs since last month. So normal.

First off the really exciting news! Ashley Lynn is measuring 3lbs 1oz! She is a pound bigger then Anthony was when he was born. Bigger then Anthony was when he had heart surgery. Which is just crazy to me! I know that 3lbs doesn't seem huge to a lot of people. But to a person that had a 2 pounder it is. Just like how probably a 2 pounder seems huge to someone that had a 1 pounder.

Everything else looked normal and great. Great fluid, great heart beat, great flow through the umbilical cord. I couldn't be more thankful. Sorry to say I didn't get any good pics. Ashley was in a bad position for 4D pics. Her feet were infront of her face! lol

After the ultrasound they re-took my blood pressure and it had gone down to 107/? So nothing to worry about.

I did fail the 1 hour glucose test. Which I guess isn't that uncommon. 25% of people fail the 1 hour. But that means I have to go take the 3 hour glucose test to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes. Fun stuff *sarcastic*

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Some present have been bought.

Lights on the outside have been put up.

The christmas tree has been decorated with shatterproof ornaments. Which has already proved to be a wise idea.


Yes its already starting to feel a lot like christmas =-)

It was a happy thanksgiving

We were with family, everyone is healthy, everyone is happy (especially Anthony! Just look at that face!). What else can one ask for?
