Nursery

Well today, Kevin and I were pretty productive. We emptied out the nursery, and washed the carpet. Once the carpet dried, we put the new dresser up, and brought back in the rocking chair, and giraffe. I even put together the stroller travel system. It was fun. Roscoe did not make it easy though. As I was putting the wheels on the stroller, he layed in the basket part of it, and kept smacking my hand. Then once I got the wheels on and put the stroller up right, he jumped in the stroller like he wanted to go for a ride. Of course I pulled him out and explained it's not his. He thinks everything in the house is his. So when I put the stroller in the nursery, I also put the carrier in it, so that way Roscoe couldnt sleep in it. Well didn't work, he still got in the stroller. I think I fixed it, so he can't get in. He is so crazy!!!!! Wel our next step is getting the crib together. I am hoping to get it up by this weekend. I might have Bryan come over and help. He is good with tools. I just want to get it together before I get huge!!!!!

Flips

Today it felt like peanut was doing Kart wheels in my belly. WOW!!!! What a feeling!!!! It seemed to last quite awhile. At least peanut took a nap when I did after work, and went to sleep when I did last night.

Movement

This is not the first time I felt peanut. I have had this feeling before, but was not sure if it was peanut, because it did not feel like bubbles or flutters. But after talking with the doctor, she confirmed that what I was feeling was indeed peanut. So now I know its him/her. Today from about 4pm until 8pm peanut decided to lay straight as a board (vertical) And his/her lil feet were just pushing into my gut. I tried everything to get peanut to move, but he/she was having none of it.

Doctor Appointment Yesterday

Yesterday Kevin and I had our monthy appointment. First up was the ultrasound. There were are few things that she had to check that she couldnt at the last ultrasound. We let her know when we first got in the room, that we did not want to know the sex. So as she was looking at everything she said peanut looks GREAT!!!!! Everything she needed to check came back 100%. We have a healthly little one. I got a little nervous though, cause she said the heartbeat was 147. I freaked out, and told her that its always been in the 160's, why was it so low. She said its completly normal, the bigger the baby gets the lower the heartrate goes. Peanut has a strong heartbeat. She even got printer happy, she took 9 pics total. 7 were 2D and 2 were 3D. The 3D ones were really hard to see. She said its because its still early and it makes it harder to see the baby with the 3D image. (I will post the pics later today or tonight) After the ultrasound appt. and as we were walking to a room I asked the tech. if by chance she seen if peanut was a boy or a girl (just curious) And she said because we said we didn't want to know, she didn't look. (Which was fine by me) Afer we were in the room the nurse came in and weighed me. I gained 1 pound. Took my blood pressure, and checked my sugar. (All good) Then Dr. Johnson came in, and measured my stomach, and listened to the heartbeat on the doppler. She said everything is right on track and peanut and I are doing great. That made me every happy. So all in all it was a great day and a great appointment.

My next appt. is Feb 20th and I have to have the glucose test. So I will be there for at least an hour. And I see a new doctor: Dr. Al-Jerdi. (I have to meet all the docs (4 total) because we will not know who is on call the day I go into labor.) I keep tellin peanut he/she has to come on a Tuesday. (thats the day I know 100% Dr. Johnson is on call, and I would love to have her deliver peanut. My friend Elke is the one who referred me to the office about months ago, and she informed me all of the staff is extremly nice. Well she wasnt wrong.

Doctor Appointment

Peanut's Heartbeat was 147BPM. I was scared when the tech and doctor told me about the HB. I mean its usually in the 160's and that seemed like such a drop. But they assured me as peanut gets bigger the lower the HB. They said everything is on track and I have a healthy LO.

They Changed it

Well Kevin and I went to the doctors yesterday for another appointment. All went well, I lost another pound!!! They assured me not to worry because it happens. We heard the heartbeat again, very strong. A plus was my mom was there and got to hear it. She was just about in tears. I was very happy to share that with her. Peanut was swimming around a lot, but finally chilled long enough to give us a good listen. After we heard the heartbeat, I asked her if they were changing my due date, since the ultrasound tech. said they might. She said yes indeed it is changing from May 15th to May 24th. But as we all know its just a estimate. Our next appt is on Jan. 22nd we have an ultrasound appt at 4:30 and we see the doc at 5:00pm. I can't wait to see peanut again.

Heartbeat

Peanut's Heartbeat was 163bpm
