Belly Pics

The belly has grown so much this pregnancy. I can hardly type on my laptop because I have no lap left.

March 2007 - 15 Weeks

April 2007 - 19 Weeks

August 2007 - 35 Weeks

Jump Marks

Evan was looking at my belly and told me that I have ALOT of jump marks on my belly where his baby brother has been kicking me...you may know the marks by the more common name...stretch marks...lol...he's s funny little dude.

The stretch marks on the other hand are not so funny :(

Ultrasound Update

Had our 34 week ultrasound yesterday. Baby boy is head down and weighs over 5 pounds already. He is definitely a boy...no doubt about it!!

Here's a pic of his face:

Appointment Update - July 23rd

Had an appointment with Dr. Hatcher but saw a resident working with her.

Here's the stats from my appointment:

Blood Pressure: 110/68

Urine: All Good

Baby's Heartbeat: Found immediately - 134 bpm

Total Weight Gain: 2 lbs. since July 12th appointment - that's 22 lbs total weight gain at 33 weeks

Measurements: I am still measuring ahead, at 33 weeks along I am measuring 35 weeks.

Baby is now heading south from transverse position.

It's a Happy Friday the 13th

I just got a call with the date for my c-section - September 6st at 9:00 am.

We are also going to get to see baby boy again - the OB scheduled me for another ultrasound on August 3rd at 11 am. Rob will get to see the baby this time. I wasn't expecting a second routine ultrasound...but I'll take it!!

We'll have to cut our vacation a couple days short and miss a wedding to come back for it but that's all we can do about that at this point.

31 week appointment

Here are the stats from my first OB appointment yesterday:

Blood Pressure: 110/70

Baby's Heartbeat: 130 bpm

Weight Gain: 0 lbs. - it will be a week tomorrow since I was last weighed - so 20 lbs. total weight gained at 31 weeks

Measurements: I am still measuring ahead, at 31w3d along I am still measuring 34 weeks.

Baby boy is almost horizontal across my stomach - his position is like he's lying in a hammock she told me. I didn't see Dr. Pike I saw a senior resident Dr. White.

Her receptionist is going to call with my ultrasound and c-section dates.

Lots of Company

We've had lots of company this week. Mom and Dad were out Sunday and went back on Tuesday. Louise and David came out on Wednesday and Bruce flew home from Alberta last night.

Evan is very excited because he only had to go to daycare one day this week...he's on vacation.

He was shopping with Nanny and Poppy Higdon on Monday and today he is gone shopping with Nanny and Poppy Tilley. He's a very lucky boy.

Due Date is EXACTLY Two Months Away

I just realized that my due date is exactly two months away today. Since I am having a section before my due date, it's safe to say that in two months time I will be on maternity leave with Evan and "Cheesie". I can't wait!!

"Cheesie" is Evan's name for the baby this week...lol...he keeps changing his "name".

Tired!! Exhausted!! Dragged Out!!

They all apply to me today although I haven't been doing anything strenuous, well, except growing another human...lol

I am 30 weeks 1 day along and I think this pregnancy is finally catching up to me. Time to slow down and take it easy.

The first 30 weeks were great. I have a feeling the next 10 weeks are going to take a steep downhill turn.

The EXCITING thing is that in 'just' 10 weeks time baby boy will be here and this will all be worth it.

Baby Room Progress and Random Pics

This weekend Rob painted the baby's room. It came out better that I thought it would look. The colours are exactly what I wanted (light sage green and tan) to match the bedding we bought. I can't wait to see everything in the room.





Here's the 'big' brother in his baby brother's room. He helped remove the painter's tape.

Here's Bud cuddling the 'baby bump'...silly cat!
