Doctor's Appt.

Had an appt. today at 1:30 and Dee had to drive me and go in late to work cause i was soooo tired. He is so good to me! Anyway, Tammy asked all her normal questions and I told her that i had some swelling in my hands, mostly, and some in my feet. She asked if i had any more contractions and i said yes. They started right when i got in the truck to come back to Tulia and have been having a couple everyday since then. That's normal. Then i asked about my little numb spot that feels like a sunburn on my belly and she said that is the skin stretching and getting thin. Dr. Meeks said that my cervix looks great and if Baron showed signs of wanting to come at 36 weeks then we wouldn't stop him! I told him that i was grateful not to make me wait the full 40/42 weeks! And he said that the way I am going, if the baby was born today then he would have a 99% chance of survival. They also said that the reason Baron wasn't moving alot in Abilene is because i was in a "new" place and he was hearing voices he hasn't heard. It was a stressful time for me too and he just kept still until I was better.....
As soon as we got into the truck to come back home, Baron was kicking and moving all over the place!!! :) I said "you little stinker"! Needless to say, we are all back to normal and everything is going great!

New Old Stuff

I think Dee is going thru the "nesting stage"! He won't admit to it but he really did alot with the house! He put up our new closet system, hung the clothes, did laundry, dusted and swept the floor, fixed and aligned the washer and dryer, killed a huge spider with babies on her belly, put new sheets on our bed and washed the old ones, put up our other shower curtain.......the list can go on!
I made dinner and painted a set of stripes!! yay! Go me!
Tomorrow I have a doctor's appt. to check the cervix.....I really dislike that!
Yesterday, I had a couple of small contractions and my colostrum production is in full swing....I am coming to the end of this thing and it is starting to become a little more real! Just 9 weeks to go!

Tuesday

It's gettin' pretty late and Dee just left for the second time tonight....
He is on call today; already worked 7am-4pm and got called out right when we both set down for dinner. He came back home at 8:30pm to eat his dinner and we relaxed for a little bit. Then his phone rings......some man hit a cow....ugh! The man is fine, but i know that this kind of wreck takes 2 hours.....anyway, it has been eventful! The first wreck was a 3 car accident... People were driving like idiots in the 60mph wind; we had a thunderstorm.

Soooo...I'm here at home watching Baron make room in my belly and Sabrina already put herself to bed. Just 80 days left until his birth!! Ahh! It's getting close FAST! I guess i need to take pictures like once every week or two weeks. My belly button looks so weird!

Lip Service

I am beginning to learn that the Third Trimester has several interesting things that one can experience....
I started to notice that my lips are getting bigger...plumpier!! I don't even want to put lip gloss on b/c when I do, I look like a guppie......or Lisa Renna! Ok...so they are not THAT big, but they feel that big. So....sticking to chapstick until I can find a way to cope with my bubba lips.

28 week Update!

I just got back from the doctor today and he checked my cervix...manually this time and it was soooo uncomfortable!! I grabbed the sides of the table! I know I looked like a cat being put in a bathtub :) He said, "Yep, your closed"...and I said "NOT ANYMORE....DANG"!!
I also had a sonogram today to see where my placenta was and it's far away from the cervix which means I don't have to have a C-section! She said that since i was there she was gonna check on the baby too....so we got several pics and a couple of 3D shots and one 4D shot!!! Baron didn't want his winky to be photographed so he kept putting his little hand over it to hide it.
He weighs 2.7lbs! His head is already down towards the cervix and is still very active!
The doctor gave me a free coupon for a 30min massage at the new spa in the hospital since I have been having back pain everyday! Can't wait to do that!!
Sooo...on Monday, I have to go do my diabetes test and then I have another appt. on the 25th to check my cervix again....ugh.
