Doctors Appointment

I had another doctors appt today. All went well, and we are right on track. I have been concerned about my weight gain. (feel like I should weigh more) When I went in to the room, I asked what my weight was when I was here for my very first appt. Then the nurse weighed me. I have only gained 2 pounds since being pregnant. I mean don't get me wrong, I am happy to only have gained 2 so far, but was worried I was hurting the baby. Dr. Johnson came in, and I advised her that I am having A LOT of pressure just below my stomach, and she advised its normal, that its just my body preparing for labor and delivery. (YIKES!!!!! Its coming quick) Then I voiced my concern about the weight gain. She said that 2 pounds is fine. I am only gaining the baby weight, and losing weight in other places. She said that the guidelines have changed and that they want all woman to gain no more that 15-20 pounds. She measured my belly, and then I got to hear the heartbeat again. It is strong at 140bpm. Dr. Johnson said I am right on track. That this is a very healthly baby and pregnancy.

I can't believe that I only have 8 weeks to go (as of March 24th) Time has flew by, and I can't wait to see my LO. Not too much longer to go.

Our baby shower

Well, we had our baby shower. And it was amazing. The family did a great job putting it together. Even though the weather was kind of yucky, it still did not ruin the day. Most of our family and friends were there, to celebrate our day. There was TONS of food. And TONS of gifts. We were amazed how much everyone bought peanut. Half way through opening the presents I got SUPER tired. It was exhausting. But I would not have changed it for the world. It definitly went by way to fast. I wish it could have lasted a little bit longer. I really didn't get to talk to everyone one on one, but thats understandable being the guest of honor. Peanut was really good through the whole thing. Slept right through everything. Lindsay recorded the shower, but I have not had a chance to check it out. All the pictures turned out great. I would have liked some with me and others posing together. Thats okay though. I will remember that day forever.

I would like to send out a special thanks to Kristal and Michele, for putting together the bestest shower ever. You did a great job. I love you both very much.

Snow Storm Canceled

I was SO happy this morning when I heard the Snow Storm for today was canceled. I was getting really nervous yesterday, when they were talking about this storm rthat we were supposed to be getting. I was getting emails from people stating they would not make it to the shower Saturday, if it stormed. I was afraid I would be the only one there. BUT, I kept positive yesterday, and it paid off. Cause the storm is not going to hit us. We may get some flurries, but thats it.

So I know our baby shower tomorrow, is going to be great!!!!!! I can't wait, I am so excited.

Had my 3 hour Glucose Test

Tuesday night Kevin and I had dinner, and I ate my required candy bar to get ready for my test Wednesday. We ate kinda late, and by 8pm I was still full. So 8:30pm came around and I decided to get ready for bed, because I was SO tired. Well I woke up later STARVING!!!!!! So I had decided to go and grab a snack, but when I looked at the clock it said it was 2AM. NNOOOOOO!!!!! I passed the midnight mark. I could not eat or drink anything. I was SO upset. So I ended up falling back asleep, and woke up about 6:30am to get ready to leave. I did pack some fruit for after the test, then headed out to leave. It took me forever to clean my car off, the snow was horrible, and the roads were still really bad, so it took me awhile to get to my moms, to pick her up. After battling the bad roads and drivers, I made it to the doctors right on time (8:15am) for my 3hr glucose test. After I got there, she took me in the back drew blood, and then gave me my drink. I got the orange this time. When I started drinking it, I was thinking, "Hey this is not half bad, I can deal with this" Well after I was more than half way done with the glass she fills the glass back up. I was shocked. She said because it was for 3 hrs you have to drink double. I had the hardest time drinking the rest of it. My tummy was SO hungry, and it was just horrible getting it down. The nurse was great, she just kept talking to me, to keep my mind off drinking that nasty, thick, sugary drink. But I finally did get it all down. (And hey I DID NOT burp~YAY!!!!) I went back out to the waiting room, and after about 30 min, they called me in for my normal check up appt. I got to see Dr. Goyert. He is their high risk pregnancy doctor. And he was the last DR I needed to see. Now I have met all the DR's, and they are all great. He started out by saying he thinks I will pass this test, but if for some reason I don't then they will have to change my diet. I can still have a healthy prenancy and baby. After we talked he started checking everything, and everything is great. I am measuring right on schedule, my weight has stayed the same (only a 4 pound gain since becoming PG), and the baby's HB was awesome. The doctor told me that if I don't hear from them Thursday then I passed the test. Well Thursday came and NO call. BUT, I am not going to get excited until Monday. ya never know, labs could be slow. I do have a great feeling I passed.
Mom and I played cards in the waiting room to pass the time. Finally the test was over. I was SO happy, cause I was STARVING!!!! As soon as we got in the car, I opened the fruit I brought and starting chowing. We decided to go to Ponderosa after the appt. and once we got there, I just started shoving my face. I ate SO much, but I didn't care. I finally was full. What a great feeling~lol Well I am glad this day is over. I got through it, and its done. Now I am just hoping I do not receive any phone calls from them.
