Just thought I would update you all on the doctor's appointment I had yesterday...so I'll give you my usual update format...
Weeks/Months: 30 weeks...7 MONTHS!
Total weight gain/loss: 17 pounds
Maternity clothes? Mostly, I have a ton of summer dresses I can wear still that aren't maternity!
Stretch marks? If I do, I can't see them! Ha!
Sleep: Off and on...it's hard to find a good position, but I can usually get a few good hours before I have to wake up and go to the bathroom. Still using 100 million pillows and when I can Tylenol PM.
Best moment this week: at the doctor, when she kicked me so hard while the nurse was trying to find her heartbeat/rate! It made the nurse jump! that's my child!!
Movement: ALL THE TIME. its great though. and strange at the same time.
Food cravings: none lately.
Gender: sweet baby girl
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? OUT!!! UH!!
What I miss: non-maternity outfits and eating without getting indigestion!
What I am looking forward to: July 15, 2009!
Weekly Wisdom: After my Special Delivery Class last week and watching the video we saw, I would advise everyone planning to ever give birth to get drugs!! Bring on the epidurol!
Milestones: Getting to the 30's! YAY!! and making a "new mom" interview with a pediatrician!
I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is looking good right now, Praise the Lord! According to the Nurse Practitioner, Molly Grace is head down and all of my vitals look good.
My BP was 110/72, which is good I think. I weight 140 pounds. Not too bad, more than I've ever weighed before, but I can handle it. I go back in 3 weeks, and then 2 weeks after that and then every week after 35 weeks. and then I will be a Mommy!
I don't know if I mentioned it yet, but I started my "lamazze classes" or what Athens Regional likes to call "Special Delivery" classes last week. They meet every Tuesday in May. My wonderful mom is going to them with me, which makes Tuesday's so fun for me because I get to see her and become even more frightened about giving birth. lol. Last week we saw some videos that made me realize there is no way in HADES i will do this thing without being drugged up. The women in this video looked like they were about to die and take everyone around them with them. I do feel now though that I am somewhat more informed about the process of labor and delivery. We get to tour the hospital on the last Tuesday, so that should be exciting.
We went and looked at the house this weekend! It's 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a huge living room w/fireplace, and a big kitchen and breakfast area! I can't wait to have a house warming party and I think we are going to host a bridal shower for my beautiful baby sister, Megan, there!
Here is a pic of the outside of the house, (the little girl in the driveway is my cousin Brianna!)
so yeah..not too much going on. Just getting ready for her to be here! I'll update soon!
LOVE!!
always,
Mary Beth and Molly Grace
