Wednesday Weeklies September 1

27w2d now. Just got back from a check-up and all is well with Zach. I love hearing his heartbeat and it makes me smile everytime. I am going for my GD test on Friday and hopefully pass it like I did last time around. I had a cervix check due to a ton of Braxton-Hicks and everything is sealed up tight the way it should be ^_^.

Classes start for me tomorrow and it makes me tired just thinking about having to actually use my brain again after the summer off.

Still not comfy while sleeping, that is when I get to sleep and do not just lay there. Peeing a million times a day and feel like I could eat a dozen horses every hour.

Weight gain=13 pounds to date.

27 weeks today...why can I never find this on Wed?? Sorry, better late than never I guess! Well, I went for my glucose test on Tuesday...I don't have Gestational Diabetes! But I did gain about 6 1/2 pounds in less than two weeks for a TOTAL of 14 1/2 pounds...finally putting the weight on! Had an ultrasound Last week at 26 weeks and she was measuring 26w5d and at 2lbs 3ounces! Good to know that she's putting on weight too! 13 weeks to go - if she cooperates lol! Hope that it flies by like everyone claims!

26 weeks tomorrow! All I have is complaints this week.

The last couple weeks have been H3LL for sleep. I haven't gotten much, and I'm not getting more than a couple hours consecutively between peeing, having to adjust positions, her kicking, and DS getting up at odd hours recently.

Last night DS went to bed just before 3, woke up at 5, went back to sleep around 7 something and woke up at 1030. He didn't take a nap until 450 and woke up less than an hour later, and now at 1115 he's still up. He's been running a fever, sneezing, and having either a stuffed up or runny nose since he woke up yesterday morning. I gave him benadryl 3 hours ago, but unfortunately it has the opposite affect on him that most people get, he gets hyper instead of sleepy.

I feel HUGE, my appetite has definitely increased, I blame it partially on my lack of sleep and needing the food for energy. Hip is hurting more, crampy feeling from her kicking and BH. Still itchy all over, trying hydrocortisone to see if it helps any. Only nine more days until my next appointment!

Started feeling pain in my pubic bone...just another thing to add on to my list of complaints!

I can't believe another week has gone by, but then again it's going by SLOW too!!! 14 more weeks, and then the fun of a toddler and newborn begin.

Little vent~~~DH stayed up late Sunday night to watch a pre-season football game. I said I was gonna let him stay up with DS tonight, and he said he can't because he has work tomorrow...SO? He had work Monday too! UGH! He has the next four days off, but I could care less, going to bed early tomorrow and sleeping in doesn't help me now...I was so looking forward to soaking in a warm bath for a few minutes, and then going to sleep so I can be ready for DS's ill/cranky/whiney self tomorrow. I really just want to cry right now!

23 weeks tomorrow... no weight gain still only 9pounds lost.. I have grown so much, even co-workers this week noticed my belly and thought I was due in OCT... yikes. She is a shaker and a mover though- MarLea enjoys being awake a lot for me, but never when dad is around to see her play. LOL

4weeks today and I will have my 4th u/s and first 30min appointment, I am just guessing (since it's been a while) this is where they will start doing tummy measurements and checking cervex possibly. Guess we'll see, but I sure cant wait to see my MarLea again and get some better photos!!

27 weeks tomorrow.  I feel huge, I'm pretty sure I'm carrying her all out front.  I feel movement all the time which is like my last two.  I'm feeling mostly okay, just sciatica and lower ab stretching pain mostly.  I'm in the sleep is not comfortable boat too.  It's hard to think I still have three more months, how much bigger can I get? I've gained 19lbs so far.  I'm getting excited for her to get here.  We have decided to name her Mailee.

25 weeks.  I go to the doctor on Friday too!  Not sure on the weight gain, last I checked at 21 weeks I was -3 (at 16 weeks I was back to even) so I'm not sure what happened there.  I do however feel like I have gained a ton!

Lots of BH going on here too.  I try to imagine what it will be like to do things with my other two with the baby...where will he fit in.  

Sleeping is miserable for me too.  Last night I was awake for three hours trying to find a comfortable position.  I know it's going to get worse, so I try to be thankfull and not to cranky about the little sleep I do get.

Allergies are my biggest complaint right now.  I tried to get by with just the nasal saline spray.  I made it three weeks before I finally broke down and took something.  I've only taken two Benadryl though as they are making me sick.  So, I'm suffering with lots of snot and itchy eyes.

Only about 3 more months!!!!!!!!!  Super excited to meet this little man and complete my family.
