Week 29 App

Today Doug, Baby B and I went to the doctors. We had our appointment at 8:45am, so we did not have to wait very long to get to see the doctor.  We did not have an ultrasound this time..so I can not tell you about any exciting movements or how big B is. I have now finally surpassed the weight I lost in the beginning of the pregnancy. I now am 212lbs...which for me is not too bad at all. I am purely all baby B.

The doctor measured my tummy..took my blood pressure reading and listened to the heartbeat. Everything is both normal and average. He asked about if we have had the blood sugar test done and we have. If we have learned anything from how long we have seen this specialist..if he does not normally say anything if everything is good. So he looked in his folder and did not say much. I am guessing that means that everything is great.

A couple of weeks ago I had some spells where I was feeling like I was overheated and going to pass out/ black out at work.  I told him about it..and that it had happened a couple more times during different situations that week. He explained it is quite common and normal..pre-blackout..a way the body tells you to calm down and cool off. Walking to work is becoming a harder task. I now sound like I have asthma before I get all the way to work. It is also probably due to the fact that I am getting a head cold. Which seems to be really running my body down. I have made it this far without getting sick at all....I have less than 10 weeks and 2 days left and I am getting sick. Good thing I can take Tylenol products or working may be difficult..my head is feeling like a balloon.

While we were there he also did a swab to make sure I do not have an infection. I have not had to see the duck lips in a while..I have to say I did not miss them at all. Kinda nice to be measured by a measuring tape in length and not width..lol. Things are all looking really good according to the doctor.

I have to go back in two weeks. November 9th is my next appointment. You know it is really getting down in time when you start going every two weeks to see the doctor. After this Saturday I will have 10 weeks until my due date..Crazy how time is flying by.

So much to do in so little of time.

Bazinga's, Family Baby Shower and 3rd Trimester!

I have not posted in quite awhile. As of this past Saturday Oct 22nd..I am now in my 29th week which means in the start of the 3rd trimester and I now only have 11 weeks left to go until Baby B's Due date of January 7th, 2012.

The past couple of weeks I have started to feel Baby B move more and more. To me it still feels like Bazinga's. Now you are probably wondering what I mean by all of that. If you watch Big Bang Theory. Doug and I like to watch it on a regular basis. There was an episode where Sheldon Cooper was doing massive research on string theory I do believe and in part of the show..it shows him in a ball pit..popping up yelling "Bazinga" and then  diving back under all the colourful balls. His friend kept trying to find him and was not being very successful. He also likes to use the term like a "gotcha" kinda expression. So when I say bazinga's it feels like bubbles popping here and there..little jabs..pokes..kicks..nothing quite painful. B is always Bazingaing me!!

Normally I am usually the only one who can feel it..sometimes my stomach even jumps. Doug felt B move for the first time a week or two ago. He was sitting beside me..I was leaning on him..so B would have been right beside him and it was moving here and there. Doug kinda asked me if that was the baby. He would kinda poke me here and there and wait..and every couple of seconds or so later..B would poke daddy back. It was a really nice moment that I will always remember. It brought a big smile to Doug's face.

This past weekend my mom had my Baby shower for B and I..and Jen too!! I say Jen too..just so you are confused....because there was presents sent from far away from other family members which did not make it in time for her shower earlier on and people who came to my shower that also had some things for Josh, Jen and the Twins.

It was mostly family and family friends who were invited..it was not a huge turnout as planned..a lot of family was sick on Doug's side or the children were sick. A lot is going around this time of year..very understandable. The shower was originally supposed to be a surprise but between Doug and my Bosses Miss-communication and such..I ended up getting a shift on the day of the shower and he kinda had to tell me about it.

Doug and I are very Thankful for all who came and brought our soon to be bundle of joy lots of necessities. We played fun games..had good food and lots of nice company. Now all I have to do is buy or make baby thank you cards. I believe we are going to have one of the cleanest babies on the block.
Here are some pictures from the shower:

There are way too many pictures to post them all..and the problems I am having with adding them in and getting it to work properly today are not going well. So there is a sneak peak of the shower. We are very thankful and appreciate all who could share in the shower with us.  As for the pics of the Babies Room..they will have to wait until they are a little more done and when I am not so frustrated with Blogger. 

I have my next doctors app this Wednesday October 26th in the morning. I will be sure to put another update about how Baby B and I are doing and perhaps some more pictures.

I will just be sitting here tonight letting B Bazinga me away.
