Good News! 33 weeks!

Well I went to the Dr this morning and scheduled the rest of my appointments and also the Cerclage Removal date June 30th! I am so excited, thats only 3 weeks away. I am not ready for labor yet, just the being off bedrest! So tomorrow I will be 33 weeks and everything is looking great!

So I had an NST (Non stress test, where they monitor the baby's heart-rate and also to see if I am contracting) and it went well this time. They did an ultrasound because the Dr was concerned about my fluid level, but it turns out that it looked great! Karli was giving us a show on the ultrasound...she had her hand in her mouth and tongue sticking out, that was pretty neat to see! The sonographer also said that she has tons of hair already!

Mom came in over the weekend for a few days and it was so nice having her here. She got so much done and I feel like I am now well organized and more prepared for Karli's arrival. I will have to get some pics of the slipcover she made for the chair in the nursery. Moms are amazing, I dont know what I would do without her!

So I go back on Friday for another NST. They will be on Tuesdays and Fridays from here on out. I will have Greg get some more pics soon!

32 Weeks!

Well 12 weeks ago the Dr's didn't think I would make it this far into my pregnancy! They are shocked to see me every week that I come in! We had a dr's apt last Thursday and got an ultrasound and Karli is measuring almost 4lbs and the Sonographer showed us that she has hair on the screen, that was neat to see! I get another ultrasound at 35 weeks which is the end of June. I go on Friday for my first Non Stress Test. Then next week I start going 2x a week. Hopefully they will schedule the cerclage removal date! I am looking at only 4 more weeks of bedrest at the most!!

Greg and I got a new camera last weekend as an early birthday present of mine. When I look halfway decent I will have him take some pics and will update them on here! I am getting bigger by the day and more uncomfortable. It is so neat tho feeling her kick and seeing my whole belly move!

Here is a little survey for 32 weeks!

How far along?: 32 weeks

Total weight gain: 13lbs

How big is baby?: Almost 4 lbs! She's getting so big :)

Maternity clothes?: Yep, they are comfy too!

Stretch marks?: unfortunately, but they aren't that bad yet!

Sleep?: It sucks! Having to sleep on my sides and then roll out of bed like a beached whale to get up to use the bathroom!

Best moment this week?: Getting to see Karli on the ultrasound!

Movement?: Tons of rolling around... especially in the evenings.

Food cravings?: Everything I cant have because of the Gestational Diabetes! But my desert lately has been coolwhip and berries! Altho I would love a Snickers Sonic Blast!

Labor signs?: none that I know of and I hope it stays that way for about 4 more weeks!

Belly button in or out?: In, its not coming out!

What I miss: Sleeping on my back/stomach, ice cold beer!

What I'm looking forward to: seeing Mom this weekend for a few days!

Milestone: I made it to 32 weeks! Hoping for atleast 4 more then its ok for her to come out :)

29 Weeks!!

So we have made it to 29 weeks! Only 48 days till 36 weeks when the Cerclage comes out! I have been doing good with the Gestational Diabetes. Its hard tho! I meet with the nutritionist on Friday and hopefully she can give me some meal ideas. Also on Friday I see Dr. Billharz for a routine checkup. I have noticed the last couple days my whole belly moving when Karli moves, it must be those long legs she gets from her daddy!

I am trying to still figure this blog thing out so I may be changing some things!
