1st visit to L&D

Now today, we had just a little scare.
This afternoon I lost quite a bit of mucous (about 1 tablespoon) when I went to the bathroom. It was just white-ish and cloudy in color, and no blood. I still called the Dr.'s office to just check it with them. And they advised me since it was almost after office hours, and they didn't want me to wait until tomorrow to get things checked out, they had me go to Labor & Delivery. They checked my cervix to make sure it was still closed and they also tested to make sure there was no amniotic fluid being leaked. Both came out with great results. Nothing to worry about. :)
The best part was that I was in and out of there in about 1 hour! Not bad for my first ever visit to Labor & Delivery before actually delivering.

29 weeks OB appt.

Lots in the last week.

I did get my Rhogam shot last week on Wednesday, along with the Glucose testing.

I had my OB appointment yesterday (remember we are every two weeks now).

• My weight jumped up 8 lbs in the last 2 weeks. LOL! Just according to their records though. Not denying the current weight of 162 lbs. I just remember thinking after my last appointment 2 weeks ago, that the weight obviously can't be right. 2 weeks ago when I was weighed, she told me it was 154. I think she looked at it wrong, or wrote it down wrong. Because I was told I had only gained 1 lb. in 4 weeks?!?! And now Ive gained 8 lbs. in 2 weeks?!?! Anyways, like I said, Im not denying my current weight of 162 lbs. Just sounds really bad that I gained 8 lbs. in two weeks!! LOL!
• Heartbeat was good and strong.
• Belly measurement was right on track.

Sounds like everything went good. :)

Its getting closer to D-day.

We are down to 11 weeks till the due date of this little boy.

I'll open up the online baby pool to get your guesses in for the stats of this new kiddo, Brady Nikolas.

Just a tidbit of info on Lukas to help you out. :)

• 3 days overdue with Lukas. (chose to be induced).
• 6lbs 13oz.
• 19 inches.
• born at 1:19pm

Happy Guessing! :)

27 week appointment

I had a doctors appointment yesterday and it went well.

I only gained 1 lb. since my last appointment 4 weeks ago! So I think I'm up 14 lbs. total. What a difference from when I was pregnant with Lukas and gained 40 lbs. total! I don't think Ill be getting to that weight with this pregnancy, or at least I hope not, with only 13 weeks left. GAH!
My starting weight was 140 lbs. and now I'm at 154 lbs.

My blood pressure was good.

Baby's heartbeat was good and steady. He didn't say what the rate was.

And belly measurement is right on.

I did mention the heartburn that I am having 2-3 times a day, pretty much after anything I eat. And he told me to take Mylanta or even Zantac. I think Ill be picking up some at the store today and hopefully that will keep it away.

I do have an appointment next Wednesday at the hospital lab for my Rhogam shot at 28 weeks. At that same time I will have my Glucose testing, CBC blood work, and urinalysis.

And then I start my frequent flyer visits here shortly. I go back every 2 weeks now! Thats when it hits me that its getting close! Yikes!

I better have Tony get the clothes down from upstairs in the attic, so I can go through them and wash them all. Ill select which clothes I want for Brady and the rest we will set aside for a (hopeful) garage sale this summer.

Im picking up a large letter 'B' at JoAnn's today to be painted dark brown and go in his room. Im also trying to decide how to incorporate some other artwork on his walls. As much as I love these large circles on his walls, its hard put things on his walls. I might have to paint over a couple of these yellow circles, not sure.
