30 weeks

Time is going by so fast! Josh and I had our childbirth preparation classes over the weekend, and we learned quite a bit, but I am still a little nervous about the labor and delivery. I had a Dr's appt on Monday and everything looked excellent, my blood pressure and weight gain is good, and the baby is already head down! Now I will start going to see my doctor every 2 weeks, until I am 36 weeks, then it will be every week! I am so excited about our baby shower coming up and can't wait to see everyone! Here is a 30 week belly pic

3D Ultrasound of our baby girl

We went for our 3D ultrasound on Monday with my mom and Josh's mom and it was so amazing and worth every penny! It was so good to see our little girl again, and she is quite the performer! She had the hiccups, opened her eyes and smiled for us :) For the first half of the scan she was very cooperative, then I think she caught on to what was going on and got a little shy, she wouldn't put her hand down from her face for most of the second half! I could just stare at the pictures they gave us all day, she is so beautiful and perfect! Our child birth classes are this weekend, so I will update after those to let you know how they went. And here are some pictures of our sweet girl \\



I put a couple of clips from the ultrasound on youtube, here are the links:

Getter closer and closer!

A couple of updates from my last entry; I passed my glucose test I took at the doctors, but they did say that my iron was low, so they put me on a daily over the counter iron supplement, I'm hoping that might give me a little more energy! I still feel pretty good, I'm not sleeping all that well, but I guess that is something I better get used to! I cannot believe that in 11 weeks we will meet our little girl, and I'm very excited the baby shower is getting closer, and I can't wait to see all my friends and family I haven't seen in a while. And I'm so grateful for my mother in law who is putting it all together :) I will leave you with a 29 week belly picture

Glucose Test

I had my Dr's appointment today for my glucose tolerance test (I had to drink this orange flavored drink that tasted like flat soda and wait an hour then have my blood drawn)and to check my hemoglobin and iron levels, and he told me I won't get a phone call with the results from those for another week, so now it's the waiting game! Hopefully I passed and will not have to do the 3 hour test (fingers crossed!)Everything checked out great today; my blood pressure was great and my belly is measuring right on track at 27 weeks, he also said my weight gain is on track as well, but I think I need to slow down with all the ice cream at night!!


Josh had a boot camp for new daddy's class on Saturday and he said he really learned a lot from it and I could tell he definitely enjoyed it, and we also went to a breastfeeding class on Sunday and that was very informative and helpful as well.
