36 Week checkup

I went to the Dr yesterday. Everything is still set for Nov 25th. The section is scheduled for 7:30 AM. Danny and I have to be there at 5:30. Who will be able to sleep that night anyway, right! We will be too excited and anxious! I can not believe that Parker will be here at this time, two weeks from now. WOW!!! Anyway, the Dr said that my cervix were still closed, so if I thought I had any contractions, they weren't. Which to be honest, I really don't know what I am looking for...

35 Week checkup

We went to the Dr yesterday and had an ultrasound. Parker was sleeping of course, so we didn't get many good pics. He did not want to bring his hand from his face. He weighs 6 lbs 2 ozs right now. His head is measuring at the 90th percentile. We discussed how big I was, Danny was, my nephews, whether my sister had a C Section, how big Danny's brothers were, etc. She decided to schedule a C Section for my on November 25th. Anything could happened between now and then, but it is on the books for the 25th. I will be 38 weeks on that day. We are very excited and can not wait to see him!!!

My Shower

What a weekend! Friday night I went to bed and couldn't wait to get to the shower and see everyone. I woke up around 1:45 AM itching on my hands, legs and belly. I had weps on my belly. I woke Danny up and started googling pregnancy itching. It stated some pretty scary stuff so I called the Dr. office. I got the on call nurse and she told me to take some Benedryl. So, I took that and went back to bed. I got up and got ready for the shower and felt fine the whole time. Once I got to the church I started itching again under my arms and around my breast. The longer I sat there the more I broke out and itched. I managed to get all of my wonderful gifts opened. I got some great stuff!!! I finally called the Dr again and got the same on call nurse. She told me to go to Labor and Delivery at Glenwood. So my Mom drove me and Danny met us there (he had been at work). When I walked in and told them what was going on, they acted like I was retarded for coming to labor and delivery. One lady said, "We don't treat rashes." I was so upset! Finally they saw how bad my "rash" was and called the on call Dr. which was Dr. Wilson. He told them to send me to the ER. I sat in the ER room and talked to a couple of nurses and a PA. They all asked me the same stuff, have I changed soap or detergent, etc. Nothing! Finally they ordered me an IV of Benedryl, a steroid and some pepcid. After poking me in three different veins and blowing one of them up, they finally got the IV started. When the IV was going I asked if there was any way I could hear Parker's heart beat. I had not felt him move a whole lot and I just wanted to be sure, ya know. They said sure, they have a doppler. So this man comes in and pokes and prods at my belly for a good 10 minutes and found nothing. He sent in another nurse who was much more gentle, but she didn't find anything either. By this time I was starting to get worried. The nurse who did my IV came back in and started trying to find it. It probably took about 15 minutes (which seemed like a lifetime) before she finally found it, but it was there. She thinks that his back was to my belly and so it made it harder to find. The machine they were using wasn't made to find a baby's heart beat, so it was harder than usual. Finally, I was on my way home. They gave me a prescription of Visteril, but I assumed that I wouldn't need it since I just had an IV of meds.
I went to bed around 9:15 and around 1:00 AM I woke up itching again. My hands and feet. I went and took a bath in Aveeno. By the time I got out of the tub, I had started wepping up again. Bonnie heard me and got up to make sure I was ok. I told her what was going on and she told me to call the Dr back. Same nurse told me that I needed to go get my prescription filled. So Bonnie and I head to Monroe Walgreen's at 2:00 AM. I got my script filled, took one on my way home and went to bed about 4:00 AM. It knocked me out! I didn't wake up until around 2:30 Sunday afternoon. I probably wouldn't have gotten up then, but Danny called to check on me. So far, I haven't had any more itching, thank God!! It was a scary ordeal and I really hope I never have to go through it again.
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts and for coming to the shower. It was great to see you all!

31 Week Check up

I went to the Dr on Tuesday and everything looked fine. She said that at about 35 or 36 weeks we would do another ultrasound to see if I can deliver him vaginally. I can't wait to see him again.
I can not believe that my shower is next weekend!! It snuck up on me! I am very excited about it and very excited about seeing everyone! I hope everyone can make it, but will understand if you can't.
Parker is moving around so much now. It's not just like a little thud now, it's more of a roll. This morning, I was at my desk and I could see my stomach moving. It was so neat!
Danny and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary on Monday. Well, we actually celebrated on Tuesday, but the day was Monday. We did have some of our wedding cake on Monday night. It wasn't too bad, but we didnt eat much of it. Just enough to say we ate it. It's so hard to believe that the wedding and honeymoon were one year ago!! I wish I was still on that cruise!!!

29 Week Check up

We went for our 29 week check up (at 28 weeks and 6 days) yesterday. We had an ultrasound and Parker is really growing. He weighs about 3 lbs 6 oz. She said that I am measuring a little over a week ahead. Dr. Salas said that everything looked good. We will continue to watch his growth and see if he will need to come earlier than December 9th. We discussed pediatricians. I am just torn on this decision. I need to meet with several of them and see which one I like best.
It is really getting hard for me to wake up in the mornings. I am thinking I might have to cut out my 9 hour days and go back to 8 hours.
Danny was finally able to feel Parker move the other night. Parker wasn't being real cooperative, but he did kick a little for him to feel. I have really been feeling him a lot! I can't wait to hold him and kiss on him!!!

I passed!!!

I passed my Glucose test. I am so excited and thankful!

27 Weeks

I went for my Glucose yesterday. Still waiting on the results of that. We have scheduled our next ultrasound for 9/22. We start going to the dr every two weeks now. I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed with all of the things that need to be done. I'm sure everything will be fine and come into place, but to think about it all kinda freaks me out!
I will post my results as soon as I get them.
