Appoinment

Had another appt today. Things are looking good. My BP was 118/80 and my weight has pretty much stayed the same. I did forget to get my urine sample~Lol. I went into the bathroom to get it, and that fast it slipped my mind. Dr. Al-jerdi thought that was pretty funny.

Pumpkin sounds good. Her HB was 156bpm. Because of the GD and my BP being up a little, Dr wanted me to have another ultrasound to make sure she is not growing too big. I was super excited to see pumpkin again. Can't wait. Our US is scheduled for 12/29 at 11:15am

First Speech Therapy Session

Kevin said Nathan had a really good first therapy lession. He behaved and did what she asked him to do. HE said she taught him to say more, and even to use sign lanuage for more. He does have a class tomorrow at the center for an hour. Grandma W. is going to take him for us, since we have to work. I am going to try to meet her up there on my lunch hour. I have to see how far away it is from my work first. All in all I think this will really help him and his speech take off.

Because he is learning new words so fast, I am no longer going to update his vocab list. It would just be too much and I won't be able to remember it all. He is however learning to spell his name. We are so proud of our little man.

Anoter Appointment

Time already for another appointment. Every two weeks seems to go by very fast. Today my mom went with me. She didn't want to ask, but jokingly said "so if I go, I get to hear the heartbeat right?" I told her of course. She seemed really shocked I said yes.

My BP was 124/86 and my weight was up about 3 pounds. Which is a little odd, but I did have heavier clothes on, and I was weighed in the evening. (I normally weigh myself in the morning) Then we got to hear pumpkins heartbeat. Nice and strong at 150bpm. My mom was really excited to hear it.

Next appt is 12/22/10 at 4:15pm, last one until the new year. I can't believe how time is flying. She is going to be here before we know it.

Bi-weekly Appointment

I have been swtiched to every 2 weeks now due to my BP being a little on the high side. I have been testing it once a day now as well. It has actually been pretty good. I am still down 10 pounds, and my BP was 134/84. Pumpkin sounds good, her heart beat was 154bpm.

My next appt is 12/08/10 at 4:15pm

Nathan knows his colors

It is so cute, Nathan knows his colors. He can say green and yellow as well. We were at the dentist office waiting for Kevin to get finished up, and Nathan and I were coloring pictures to pass the time. Every Time I asked for a color Nathan would grab the correct one and hand it to me. I am so proud of our little smart man.

He knows the basic colors: Yellow, green, blue, red, purple, brown, black, white, orange.

Updated Vocabulary list

It seems in the past week or so, his words are taking off. I am sure I am missing a few, but here is the bulk of it.

Momma, Mom, Dadda, Daddy, Dad, Grandma, Hi, Night, Kitty, Bubba, Huh, Bryan, Papa, Dog, Car, All, Gone, Good, Girl, Diego, I, Told, Yes, This, GaGa (for my grandma) Cat, Juice, Diane (grandma S. name), Duck, Rojo (spanish for Red), Grapes, Slurpee, Sippy, Popsicle, Lissa, Love, you, Chicken, Santa, Asoul (spanish for Blue), Dora, Stacey, Please, Kyle, Neil, cracker, tea, green, yellow, see, boo boo, gobble, ouch, up, baby, sissy, cool, car

Putting a few words together:

He is also doing AMAZING with his letters. He knows all his letters, and is now working in sounding them all out. So far he can sound out:

A,B,C,D,E,G,H,I,K,M,N,O,P,R,S,T,W,Y,Z

He also knows most of his colors.

Nathan has an appointment tomorrow for his hearing evaluation, and next Friday (11/19) he has his speech therapy evaluation.

Monthly Appointment

I seen Dr. Al-Jerdi again today for my monthly appt. It went ok. I am still down 10 pounds, and pumpkin sounds good. Her HB was 150bpm.

Doctor is not happy my blood pressure is a little high (130/90) so he wants to closely monitor it. I will now be going to see him every 2 weeks, and I have to test my BP once a day, and keep a record. I will be starting my NST (non stress test) at 34 wks (first week in Jan) I asked him if I was still going to be able to work. (I wasn't able to with Nathan when I started the NST) He said only time will tell, but he doesn't think so. I guess we will wait and see.

The other thing I was bummed to find out was I am not allowed to pickup or carry Nathan anymore, because he is just too heavy. I will still need to, to get him in and out of the car, but that's pretty much it.

My next appt is 11/22 at 4:15pm
