Heh..heh...Here is Aubrey and me at the baby shower, her and Erin threw for me :) It was on April 17th, I'm about 33 weeks and 3 days, she is about 6 weeks behind me. Baby Bumps!!!
Some people have told me that the 3rd trimester of pregnancy can seem long and dragged out. For me, that's not true. Where has the time gone!!! I can't believe that's it's been over three weeks since my last blog, shame on me, I've been a slacker. Well, just in the sense of sitting down and writing a blog I guess. Overall, things have been super busy and moving at warp speed. There is just not enough time in the day! Well.... I suppose I could cut back on my napping and sleeping, but hey, gotta get that now while I can!
I am 35 weeks along today, two more weeks to go and I'll be considered full term. Which means, if Bambino stays in and bakes for another 2 weeks, he's basically fully developed and good to enter the world. My doctors appointments have tripled since last time. I'll be seeing either one of my doctors every week, I have 2 NST's (non-stress test) a week, and two AFI sonograms a week. Sure, you're thinking, not bad just schedule them all in one day. WRONG!!! I can't because just between the NST and the AFI appointments they can range from 30 minutes to 2 hrs or more, so they have to been done on separate days so appointments don't run into each other. So, if you're doing the math in your head, that means that there will be weeks where I go to the doctor every single day. Who knew that getting pregnant would turn my body upside down and inside out!
Good news is that the little guy has been doing well. With such close observation and me sticking to my schedule and diet, he is normal and so far is average in size. Well....the tech said his head is maybe 4 days ahead in size.... big brain :) heh..heh.... Oh and she did say she saw hair, I wonder if he's going to have a full head of hair when he makes his debut? He's been kicking rolling and playing everyday, we have a good time together. He enjoys ice cream, just like his daddy :) Still no name yet for the little man, I'm stumped!
As for how I'm feeling lately, it's been up and down. Blame it on the hormones, blame it on our situation, blame it on the economy, whatever it is, I'm moody and I'm up and down like a roller coaster. Thankfully, I haven't had heart burn, no weird cravings, no swollen anything, no vomiting, etc.... Only thing that bothers me lately is a sore back, and hips that hurt when I sleep at night. It's like I have restless leg syndrome or something. Oh, and the 4 visits to the bathroom every night. No contractions, I don't know what they feel like yet. The tech today said that I'm no where near being dilated either.
So a quick recap of the last three weeks. We got to see our new niece Adriana, she looks just like Craig! Nanna visited us, got to go eat peking duck, and have a second shower with some local friends. We've been working hard to clean and get Bambino's room up and organized. We're almost there! Been washing and folding his little clothes, getting prepped. Got his car seat inspected and checked by the local police dept. Went to a breast feeding class and learned way more than I ever thought I wanted to about boobies. Finally got my computer back up and running in our bedroom. Went to see the cherry blossoms and Tulip garden with Ba Ngoi and Aunt My. Finally, Nick won 3rd at the annual Shaui Chaio Tournament! Goooo Nick!
I've got some new tidbits and photos to post for this blog, so hopefully I'll be good and post at least twice a week from here on out! Next week: I'll hit the milestone of 9 months pregnant :)
