Anniversaries and NST's

Yesterday was our two year anniversary.. it was really nice to have dinner out and go to a movie with Ben.. I know it will be harder to do such things when the new little one is born.. 

Today we had an NST.. as with the last few, it took a little longer than usual.. Today I was having regular contractions that I am not feeling. Midwife sent us home with our usual instructions, if anything changes come back..

32 weeks down, 7 to go,.....

So today I am officially 32 weeks, we have a c-section scheduled for 39 weeks.. I only hope we make it that far... 

Week 2 of NST's and BPP went ok.. NST at docs office went well.. Bpp, I believe went well.. according to the tech the baby looked great.. he was very active so it made it hard to get a few things she needed, but I am glad he is active.. 

The NST wasn't as great since he entered a sleep cycle right after we started the test.. he did eventually cooperate on his own fortunately, but at 20 minute test took an hour... argh.. 

Left that NST a little confused because they originally wanted me back in 2 days. (doc that never saw me).. then they settled on 3 (monday).. but I told them I would come monday but it will throw off my already scheduled NST's/bpp's/dr appts. since I am on a tuesday/friday schedule.. 

it was decided that Tuesday was ok.. I can only assume that since this doc had not seem me (and never even came and talked to me.. Midwife said there was nothing alarming on the strip... ).. that she didn't realize I was already coming twice weekly.. oh well.. will try to get clarification on tuesday.. 

Haven't heard anything new about the antibodies.. I was told the testing takes a while...

Early mornings = tired mommy

Katelyn decided that 5:45 was time to get up this morning... Mommy, not so much... at least she is napping now.. We have had a busy morning.. Dropped to car off to get the bumper repaired... actually replaced.. and an NST this afternoon. Laundry is drying in the dryer.. 

We have a goal date for Lil boy's birthday.. It is hard to believe that it is almost October already.. 


Katelyn is into everything., climbing the stairs and trying to climb on the furniture.. If she sees something she wants she goes for it..

some people should not drive...

I am a firm believer that some people should not drive.. this includes the dimwit who rear-ended Katelyn and I yesterday.  He wasn't going fast, but didn't stop into time to not hit us.. Fortunately the only thing hurt was the car. I spent 4 hours hooked to monitors just to make sure... 

it was this guys second accident in as many weeks.. hmm sounds like he needs some driver's ed.. 

All is well though, just have to get the car fixed and a new car seat for Katelyn...

if it isn't one thing, it's another....

Visited the MFM today to check on #2's growth, brain etc.. because of the PIH (Pregnancy induced hypertension) and GD.. well he is getting big.. he is already 4lbs 7oz and we aren't even 30 weeks yet.. he gained a pound and a half in 3 weeks--ouch.. 

that is the good, the probably ok but maybe not good, I had antibody screening done last week so I could have my RhoGam shot.. Turns out i have antigens for antibody C in my blood. Since i haven't had a blood transfusion, this means at some point my blood and the baby's blood have already mixed and I may be making antibodies that attack the baby's red blood cells... 

it is something that we will be following. I will have monthly titers drawn and we will continue to watch the baby... can be a little scary, but seems that it is nothing to be alarmed about for now.. will keep all posted..

Who stole summer.... ?

So, it was almost 100 last weekend and now it is not even 70. Fortunately my maternity jeans from last year still fit.. however, I do realize that is going to be a long 7-10 weeks if the weather turns and stays cool. I may have to break down and get another pair of jeans. I have  pair of dress pants but those aren't for chasing cute 1year olds around... 

Tomorrow we go back to the MFM for our last appointment before starting our biweekly testing.. should be fun.. it is at 8 in the morning and I will be up at the crack of dawn so I can pick up my eldest niece along to way so she can keep an eye on Katelyn.. should be fun... 

Being almost 30 weeks pregnant has brought a decrease in my sleep. I have been having trouble being comfortable.. My belly is much bigger than it was last year when I delivered Katelyn.. I did say I wanted to at least look pregnant this time.... 

Will update after appt tomorrow..
