Wednesday Weeklies Sept 22
30w3d. So close yet so long to go. My belly is very much a big ol' pregnant belly now and I love it. Zach gives us shows all through the day with his rolling and kicking.
My appetite has decreased greatly and when I do eat, I have to have small portions otherwise I get sick. My weight gain is still happening but it is slow moving now and truly that is for the best. I had a slice of pumpkin pie last nght though that was amazing...yummy!
I passed my 3 hour glucose test but still have to be cautious about eating and making sure that I eat frequently as my sugar dips down and I get sweaty and all light-headed...no fun.
At my last appointment we had an u/s just to check the baby's size and fluid and got to see him in a 3D image which was awesome! I posted a pic of it on my profile, he looks so much like his big brother. I cannot wait to hug this little guy.
Well I have to get my butt moving on homework while Phin is napping as it is one of the few times I get to do my schoolwork.
Have a great week ladies!

Well late posting as always ladies glad to see things for the most part are going well for everyone!! Well was a crazy week for us we are today 26 weeks and going stong. Had my sugar test done this week got the results back it was 70 before I drank the stuff and then dropped to 30 when the drew again they tested it twice just to make sure so now I have to eat more meals and keep candy on me at all times just to add to the low blood presure I have and now also the low iron. Which does help exsplain how the last couple of weeks just like once a week I would get very dizzy light headed and black out the last time was scary really thought I was going to end up in the ambulance not cool but went to doc and he said because of increase blood flow from baby not to much can do but when i feel it comming on sit down and let it pass and now we know to try and eat a piece of candy as well...... So hope that it dont happen again but if it does kinda have a plan this time lol. We very excited about the up comming week yesterday we got more belly pics done I am so blessed that my father in law is a photographer so we will never lack in pictures and surely not have to pay the price for getting one. Looking forward to getting them printed out this week Wed we have an US hoping that our little peanut works with us to find out what we are having its driving me nuts lol ..... then after that we are going to do our registery (s) and finish up baby invites shower is fast approaching. Love our shower invites making them my self even though my family is throwing the shower cause I knew they were going to cost a bit to have them done the way we wanted we are making the photo ones ill post pics as soon as they are done. Well all in all I hope you all have a great week and hopefully next wed we will have some gender news to share with all of you
27 wks 3 days. Feeling pretty tired too. The twins have been kicking up a storm with my girl Reina leading the way. Have just 3 more days of work and then I'm off. Got the results of my GD test and they were normal still slightly anemic though. Next week I have their US.
29 weeks starts tomorrow. I think I'm getting Elijah on a schedule again, which is awesome. I get time in the day for myself or to nap while he's asleep. AND he's pooping in the potty now, so now we just have to conquer wearing underwear and NOT going in it and going to the potty in public, and he will be 100% potty trained!!! YAY! ~Very exciting one going out of diapers before another going in.~
Been super tired still, yesterday at my WIC appointment they said my iron was 9.5. I'm gonna ask my dr about it at my next appointment on Oct 12. After that I'm going every two weeks. Also gonna ask about when I'm doing the u/s for her position to see if she's still breech. I've gained about 14 pounds now, most of which has been in the last two months. I haven't been eating much more than I normally do, guess I need to switch to smaller meals more frequently and see if that slows it a little.
Other than that, just making it through another week!

27 weeks 5 days. Had an ultrasound last week and a half! Alexander was weighing 2lb 2oz and breech :/ he still has plenty of time to flip though which probably wouldn't make a difference since I'm scheduled for a c-section December 10th! Have been feeling super tired and with a lot I mean A LOT of back pain ): baby is usually really active during the night and a few times during day time (: I go pee every 20 throughout my days and nights. Boobs are super sore :/ but again something that is very normal! Starting my every two week appointments this Monday until week 32 and then it will be 2 times a week until delivery so that should be fun.. Anyways first day of Fall today! Yay.. December is getting closer ladies!

Hey everyone 26weeks tomorrow... glucose test and next appointment on 10/5, the fun part has just begun!!
Got my appointment today and final u/s.... Well my baby is in fact a little Girl!! MarLea is approx 1lb 4oz and in the 49th percentile for her gestation. We double checked all her parts are there (fingers,toes,legs,arms,etc) and she is doing wonderful. She was very active for us on camera and even showed us how she can sucking on her fingers/thumbs. She kicked a couple of times and stretched her whole body out while we were watching. She is facing head down and her feet and arms are off to my right side.
So far all is well, I gained back 2 pounds... so still down 7, but doing wonderful. 2weeks till my next appointment and glucose testing- WOO HOO (sarcasm).
I took my 3yr old son with me and my mother. Daniel loved getting to see her... but was confused when she is going to come out of the hole- meaning my belly button. LOL kids
No swelling, nausea or anything bad other than peeing a lot at night time and hip issues from sleeping funny.

I will be 29 weeks tomorrow and the 3rd trimester tiredness has set in. Some days, when I drive home from work, I just want to cry in the car because I'm just THAT tired!!!! Night time potty breaks have definately increase this past week ad have actually been on a schedule. Ava is getting much stronger, she wakes me up more and more at night when she moves and you can really see the tummy roll now!! She is head down because the hiccups are low and the kicks are belly button level or higher. Ever since last week when I had the flu and was in bed for 2 days, the swelling in my feet and ankles has stayed fairly controlled and slight, so that is one good thing that came of being sick, lol!! I got the invitation to my baby shower in the mail yesterday and it was SOOOOO CUTE!! I wasn't allowed to see anything for the shower, so that was fun! Ava's room will be completed next week, when her furniture is delivered on Tuesday and I'm super excited for that!!
29 weeks 3 days. Its now been 8 days since my glucose test and no news so I hope that's good. I'm up 22 lbs I think. I've been so crazy hungry I'm definitely gaining faster than I should. I cut out sugar to try to limit the gain and its slowed down a little but I'm still constantly stuffing my face. DH is away in training and I've been so lonely...
The good news is it seems the baby is almost head down. Its hard to get an exact representation of how he's laying by just feeling him but it will get easier as he runs out of room.

Hello Everyone- 26 weeks completed start week 27 tomorrow. Had my GD test last week and haven't heard anything from my OB- I guess no news is good news. I'm always tired now days and my energy level is very low. I just want to take naps for the most part.
My baby shower is this weekend. I hope everyone has fun. 40 adults and 14 kids.
I have an US tomorrow and get to the see the girls- yipee! In 2 weeks my OB is having me stop working, but I've arranged it with work to work from home on my lap top.
The nursery is almost done- again the lack of energy is preventing me from finishing it. I hope to complete it before the shower on Saturday.
I hope everyone is doing well.

28 weeks. I have my glucose test on Friday. Looking forward to getting that out of the way. He is still small enough to continually do flips and rolls, I am so looking forward to when he settles in the right direction - the kicks down low are too much!
We created a paper chain outdown with the kids, where they get to take one paper off a day. To help them visualize when the baby will be here. We did it with my son and it helped, I think.
My appetite too has decreased, I think I am about +14 pounds. My hope is around 20. I gained 28 with both of my other two, but I hope to do less this time. It was too hard coming off the second time - I really don't want to have to work that hard again. Still no stretch marks this time. I didn't get any with my first and got a few at the end with my daughter on my hips. Fingers crossed we avoid this again.
Stuff is coming together around the house too, so that makes me feel better. We meet with a car seat technician on Thursday to figure out the safest way to put our three kids in the car together. That will be a challenge in itself.
Otherwise my energy comes and goes, mostly its gone now. Bummer. I'm glad I did stuff while it lasted.
