Locked and Loaded Week 35

" I can see you are still pregnant".

Those are the words the doctor had said to me as he came in the room today. I replied " That's a good thing isn't it?". He told me that is a GREAT thing.


Alot has happened lately. I have become a Aunt again to two amazing cute but tiny twin boys named Zachary and Cameron. My brother and his fiance Jen had an emergency C-section on November 25..hard to believe that they were 8 weeks early and now are almost 2 weeks old. They are all doing amazingly well considering the situation..and we all send much love and prayers their way each day.

Today at my appointment I have only gained 1pound this past two weeks..which is good. I had to do the strep B swab..horrible uncomfortable..I believe your Guchy screams at you in disgust and closes up completely before you even get the swab in the correct place. All in all..it is done...lol.

The doctor used his hands to measure the baby to see where it was at and did an ultrasound scan to make sure Baby B was head down like he had thought. We all want to be extra sure. I was hoping he would let us know an estimate of how big Baby B is..but no such luck. He is just happy with how everything is going so far..it all looks good. My blood pressure is still great..which is good considering that on monday when I was off..doing laundry and baking..my feet..ankles and calves were all one massive blob. I did not have ankles..I had CANKLES. That went away...thank goodness.

Now I have 3 more days of work until I am done for the year. Common mat leave. I just baby B does not get any ideas and come early. I would really prefer that it stays there until Jan or at least waits until after Christmas is over..not that we ever have a say in when God has planned for the precious little ones to enter this world.

Other exciting news.. I had a foot under my rib cage the other day..and B keeps sticking its but out randomly...which is a lot of fun and interesting pressure. Tonight Doug and I are going to attempt to take some Maternity shots of our own..just in case someone decides to make an earlier appearance that what we have hoped. The nursery is coming along..I will be sure to post pics soon..I would just like to be a bit more organized in there before I post what I feel is pretty much done.

Locked down and loaded..for now that is! B's feet are to the side of me still...so who knows what he/she has planned.
