Baby Updates

Today we are 39 Weeks & 2 Days Pregnant ~ Only 5 Days to Go!!!

Early Riser:
I was up at 430am this morning. Wasn't feeling well. Managed to keep the contents of my stomach in my stomach though :) lol. Was out the door by 710am.

Doctors Apt:
Scored an awesome parking spot. Was in the office waiting for it to OPEN at 745am. 2nd patient of the day. Was in and out by 10am. SWEET. Only gained 0.1lb since last week (HOORAY). I passed the urine test (no sugar!) so I didn't have to do the blood test after all! :D My BP was "perfect". Joshua's heart-beat was "beautiful". When the NP measured us by the tape-measure method (a tape measure from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus) she was concerned because I was measuring 40-41weeks (and she was going by the old EDD of 6/15 putting me at 38 weeks). She also was unsure if he was still in the "heads-down" position. So she did a *quick* sono herself right there in the office (I didn't even know they could do that!). He is heads down (what she thought was his head was really his butt lmao). She said fluids look okay to her. She expressed her concern that a large baby may indicate GD even though my urine was clean of sugar this week. I explained to her that I was 8lb 1oz 21in at birth and that Erik was 9lb 5oz 21in at birth (he's 6'5" now and I'm 5'8"). She said "Oh so you're probably just expecting large, but let's just make sure". She referred me up to Radiology for a Growth Scan Sonogram on Rush for the next 3-5days. So now I have a Sono on Monday afternoon (145pm) in addition to my next appointment on Thursday (assuming I make it to next week). She basically implied that if he's 8-9lbs already they may choose to induce me rather than let me go till he hits 10lbs and I end up with a C-sec. OMG OMG OMG O_O''
So that's what's new this this not-so-little guy lol!

The Rest of The Day:
Bummed around at home for most of the day. Took a nap around 430pm. Woke up to really painful cramping and had to lay in the bed for about 15min before I could move. Got up and walked to the bathroom; things down in the lady-parts seemed pretty swollen/sensative. Unfortunatly after getting up and walking the cramping went away. Had a bunch of BH for an hour or two which then disappeared (as per usual!). Con Ed didn't turn our gas back on (the turned off the whole block this morning) until nearly 7pm so we ended up eating out. Five Guys Burgers & Fries is now my favorite restaurant (ok well 2nd favorite, close behind IHOP). Spoke with Erik for a bit; it looks like he will be registering the new truck on Monday at the DMV, updated him on the Drs appt. He (hopefully) will be stopping by for a few min tomorrow on his way back from the Bronx and Maspeth :). Then Mom, Dad & I went for a nice long walk. I chatted with Adrienne and Sal for a while. Now it's nearly midnight so it's time for bed!

Photobucket:
I've been slowly posting up every photo I have to a Photobucket account. I will share that link with you just as soon as I've caught up with uploading!
