Anxiety.............

I only have 95 more days left, actually 88 because I will have my c-section a week before the due date, but that wasn't my point. My point is that I am starting to panic a little.

I've been calling around for daycare costs and so far the YMCA has the cheapest, if you can call it cheap. They charge $250 a WEEK. A friend of mine's mom is willing to watch her, but I don't know what she will charge.

I guess it's getting down to the wire now and I don't have anything lined up for certain. I always have things planned out and this time I don't. It is driving me nuts. Luckily, Robin bought the carseat/stroller, so at least I don't have to worry about that part.

I'm just really nervous because it's been a long time since I had a baby that depends on me. Kinda scary.

So much pain.................

Saturday nite was the worst for me. My hips hurt so bad that I couldn't lay down. I couldn't sleep sitting up, so I stayed up until around 5:00am (Sunday), then I must have drifted off to sleep finally but got up around 8:30am.

I have never felt so much pain in my entire life. I think labor was easier than what I was feeling.

So I was praying that Sunday nite I would be able to get some rest. The pain wasn't as bad as the nite before, but it still hurt, so I tossed and turned and woke up around 5:30 am this morning.

Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Gifts

I am sooooo blessed. My friend Robin has spoiled Emberly beyond the imagination. She bought her so many clothes, socks, hats, etc. Then I come home from work yesterday and there sits in the middle of my living room a stroller/carseat combo! WOW! And she didn't forget Jordyn. She got Jordyn 2 outfits! Robin is so good to us.

The bassinet is from a friend of mine's friend. She just gave it to me to. It's like brand new!

Super excited!

I had my endocrinology and OB appointment this morning. My thryoid level is 1.0 so the doc was happy. I have to get tested one more time in August.

I gained 2 more pounds for a whopping total of 5 lbs! How is it that I gained over 50 lbs with Jordyn and so little with this one? Oh, I'm not complaining, not one bit!

My best friend Robin is here visiting and she went to the doc with me today. She got to hear the baby's heart beat.

I get to schedule my c-section when I'm 30 weeks (5 more weeks from now) for week 39 of my pregnancy. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel! Woo-hoo! I am soooooo excited.

I did the glucose testing last month and my numbers came back 128. They like it to be 130 or under, so I'm right there. So I guess I am okay.

News

I know this picture is hard to see. I don't have a scanner at work so I had to do some magic to get it on here. Okay, it's a profile pic again, however this time her leg is up over her head. Her knee is in her nose! Wow what a flexible baby!


I had my appointment with the perinatologist yesterday. Emberly is weighing in around 1 1/2 lbs and is growing just right. I was a little concerned because I am not gaining weight with this pregnancy and wanted to make sure she was okay.

So they tested (fetal fibronectin test fFN) me to see if I was in labor and going to give birth early. They took a swab from my cervix then did a intravaginal ultrasound to see if my cervix had shortened. It was 43mm (I think they use mm) and it was 44mm last month. The doc wants to test me again at my next appointment in 4 weeks.

My blood pressure was a little up, but that might have been because it was hot as HELL out yesterday! LOL

The lady I work with gave me her crib mattress on Monday and some bedding. As soon as I got home, I put everything together and now the crib is ready for Emberly to sleep in. I am so excited!

3D ultrasound

Hey all! This is my little sister's 3D ultrasound! Isn't this just too cool? By the way his name is DeShawyne Stewart! Can't wait for him to get here! She's due on August 19th, so not much longer! Woo-hoo!

New baby!

My friend Robyn had a baby boy on June 2 @ 4:17pm. He was 6 pounds 14 ounces and 19.5 inches long! I got to hold him yesterday. He smelled so good...........the newborn smell! LOL

He was just too cute for words. I haven't held a baby since Jordyn was born! So I was a little nervous about holding him. I didn't want to "break" him! ha ha ha ha

Anyway, just wanted to share that!

Monday

Nothing new and exciting. I feel her kick alot now, guess she finally woke up and realized where she was! LOL

Still giving myself the 17P injections. No fun, but I'm getting used to it.

I have my appointment with the perinatologist next Tuesday. They will run some tests to see if I will give birth prematurely. I didn't realize that they could do that. Pretty neat.

Have a blessed week.
