33 Weeks

I had my follow-up appointment this morning to re-check my blood pressure. It was normal today which is good. It seems to flucuate every other appointment. The doctor said her head is down and she is measuring at 33cm. Which is right on track.....actually a little big! So basically everything went really well today and I go back in 2 weeks. I think that will be my last 2 week appointment. After that one I should be going every week. I can't believe that February is over and March is here already! Time sure does go by fast.

My Beautiful Baby

The other day Morgan and I had a princess day. I put a little makeup on her, painted her nails, and curled her hair. She was so excited she was posing for the camera which she usually hates. Since she was all dolled up I took her to get her b-day pics taken. But out of all the pics professional and mine I love this one the most. How beautiful is she?!

My Beautiful New Bathroom

So I mentioned last week that we started renovation on Morgan's bathroom. Well we are 95% done. Just some finishing up to do. Right now Todd has to hook up the sink plumbing, install the exhaust fan and finish the closet but those are all little things.

Ok i just noticed i put the pics in the wrong order, but oh well. This is after demo.

This is what it looked like before.
After Demo

Now! Obviously the new vanity

32 weeks

I had my 32 week appointment yesterday and surprise surprise my blood pressure was up. But the thing about that is that i had morgan w/ me so it was a big project to get in the room get her settled take off her coat and mine and take off my shoes to get weighed then rush to put my shoes back on (since the nurse looked like she had little patience). Then sit down put morgan on my lap and have them take my blood pressure. So of course it was going to be a little high. the doctor had them take it again before i left and it was fine. But just to be precautious he wants me to go back next week. So i think i will be a weekly visitor at my doctor's office until i deliver. I just really hope that it's not up again next week....well i really just don't want pre-eclampsia to develop. I don't know how serious it would need to be to deliver but i do not want this baby out until 37 weeks-at least. Little girls always seem to know how to make things more dramatic! Todd wanted a march baby...maybe he will get his wish!

My Beautiful Baby!

Here is my peanut! Sorry if it's a little blurry, i had to take a pic of the pic. I have to say that this ultrasound was soooo cool. She was awake the whole time. You could even see her blinking which at first was incredibly weird, but towards the end it got really cute.

Well here she is....eyes open with a little smile!

31 weeks

Just thought i would post an updated belly shot. I am huge!!! I don't know how i could get much bigger, but i know i will. My ultrasound is this afternoon!!!!!!! I am beyond excited :)

craziness

I have been crazy busy lately, at least it seems that way. Morgan's party went really well. I will post pics soon. Of course my drama queen screamed when we sang happy birthday to her. She hates attention so she was hysterical, i had to hold on to her pretty tight to keep her on my lap.

Today we started demo on the kid's bathroom. Right now it is a huge ass mess, but it looks awesome, so much bigger. I will def post pics of the progress. We are hoping to have it almost done by Friday...will that happen?? Doubt it!! Todd is on vacation this week, but it seems like we have something going on everyday. I just would really like to have the bathroom done by the time Alyssa comes. So he better haul ass this week and get most of it done.

Tomorrow is my ultrasound!!! I am so excited. I can't wait to see my peanut. I know i don't have that long left until she comes, but i don't care. I wanna see the cute little girl that is kicking the shit out of me all hours of the day. I had a doc app yesterday and everything went well. My BP was right where is was supposed to be and i didn't gain any weight. I was really cramping yesterday so the doc checked me and he said that my cervix is still closed and long, and that he is 95% sure that her head is down. Which doesn't mean much since she can still turn but i was really concerned that she was breach cuz i wasn't really getting kicked up high too often. I go back in 1 week just because they had a problem w/ scheduling. But that is fine because then i will be back on track. 3 more appointments then i go everyweek. OMG that will go fast. Some days i am like omg i only have 9 weeks left, but then other days i'm like omg i STILL have 9 weeks left. I am in disbelief that this pregnancy is almost over and how fast it went, but i really wish i was 39 weeks and ready to go.

Winter needs to end and spring needs to begin. I want April here....like now!!! I want my baby to join our family....and honestly i am really getting sick of being pregnant. I give props to people who have a lot of kids. I don't know if i could do this again!! LOL

Morgan's Cakes

All day today I have been getting ready for Morgan's Birthday party tomorrow. I cleaned a little, have to finish that tomorrow morning. But the majority of my day went to my baby's princess cakes. Yes cake with an S. I decided to do two because of all the people we expect. Remind me next year not to do 2 cakes. I started baking them before 11 this morning, and i just finished both of them up at 4. You do the math. That is way too long to be decorating cakes. Morgan loves the cakes and keeps telling me that they are beautiful. I am not so sure. I dunno what it is but i am not thrilled w/ either of them. Oh well, they are cute i guess and as long as morgan likes them that is all that matters.

30 Weeks

Yay...only 10 weeks until my due date. So in my mind it's more like 8 weeks since i had Morgan at 38 weeks. So we will see. I go back next monday, hopefully my blood pressure stays down. I am getting a little worried because i am starting to swell. She needs to stay in there until 37 weeks because i want to be able to take her home with me.

My week this week is going to be pretty crazy. I have a lot of prep work to do for morgan's party, and todd works all week. So basically i am doing everything all by myself. I am so drained and in so much pain i don't know how much i am going to be able to do. But i will just have to suck it up and get everything done. Friday will be the craziest day of them all. I have to clean, make all the food and bake and decorate her cake. It will be a long day. So basically from tomorrow until middle of next week i have plans. I guess i have to get everything out of my system now because once she comes i will be home bound for a couple of months. There is no way in hell i am leaving my house by myself unless it's going to someone else's house. I can't even imagine going to the store w/ morgan and a newborn. I keep warning todd that i just might go crazy w/ 2 kids.

My ultrasound is in 8 days. I am probably the only one excited. Todd doesn't seem to thrilled, but once we are there i know he will love it. Everyone else i talk to says its a waste of money. But ya know i don't care what everyone else thinks. This is a gift to myself and i don't think of myself much anymore. So damnit i'm gonna be selfish with this.
