Baby Update.

Well I went back to the doctor today to be rechecked.

Im a little more dilated then on the weekend, but nothing to write home about.

The doctor was concerned though cause im measuring smaller that last week.

She said there's so many things it could be, my fluid levels, position of the baby etc.

So she sent me for an ultrasound right away.

It was nice to see my little girl:)

She looks so much like Norm, and Becca, same nose and lips.

The ultrasound tech isnt allowed to tell me anything, but since she could see that im dilated said that she was gonna rush my results to the doctor.

I should hear back in a few days...I hate the waiting game!

If there is something flagged, then they'll send me to another clinic for a more detailed ultrasound.

And from there if anything is flagged, they'll give me an ultrasound every few days until im 37 weeks, and then they'll want her out.

My doctor told me today that I could go at anytime since she would feel my membranes. 

Im not allowed to exercise, or break a sweat (Norm says when do I ever do that anyways lol)

And, if she's not here by 38 weeks, the doctor said they can give me a sweep and that should be enough to put me in labour. 

So that was my excitement for the day.

Here's a few pics of my little girl.

Sucking her thumb:)

PS. Thanks for all the love on my last post:)

Baby Stuff.

Last Saturday was my sister in law Lindsay's Baby Shower!

I decided for her gift to just make a bunch of stuff, so I thought i'd share with you all:)

First thing I made was a diaper cake, it was the first one i've ever made, I was ok with how it turned out.

Next I of course made her a nursing cover, which I didnt take a pic of, but its the same one as in the pic on my "whine and dine" blog, so feel free to check that out:)

She's having a little girl, so of course I had to make some bows and headbands.

I also made a bow board for the first time too.

Then I made some "baby legs", it was so easy! And so much cheaper than buying the real thing.

I made a decorated wipe case to match her nursing cover. I used a small pampers case, next time im gonna try huggies. The pampers one wasnt latching properly.  She might have to use it to hold diapers instead.

And finally the last thing I made was a soother clip. I was gonna make more, but I ran out of time.

I had also planned on making burp clothes and some cute baby shoes, but left it all to the last min, so didnt get to. 

Now I just need to make all these things for my own baby:)

Speaking of my own baby, I might as well do a pregnancy update.

I've been super sick, yet again!

I switched my iron pills, so its not them making me sick anymore.

It was so bad last week that I couldnt even keep ginger ale down! It was awful!

Luckily my sil took Becca one day so I could rest.

I went to my prenatal last Thursday and I've lost 4lbs in the last 2 weeks! 

My doctor didnt seem to concerned though, and just told me to take gravol. 

I told her that i've been having way bad contractions off and on, and she said thats normal.

So then Friday morning, I lost my mucus plug (sorry if thats TMI lol) so I was thinking great, thats just what I need! lol

Over the weekend my contractions kept getting worse, but not unbearable, so I just ignored them.

Sunday when I was in church they got so painful and uncomfortable that I wanted to cry. 

So after church we decided I better go to the hospital and get checked. 

They got me in right away and hooked me up to all the monitors.

Baby girl was not happy about it! She kept trying to kick the things off my stomach. 

The monitors werent picking up any contractions, so I was thinking great! im just wasting my time again.

They did an internal exam and swab to make sure my water wasnt leaking, it wasnt. I could tell by this point Norm was thinking, we're here again just so they can tell us there's nothing wrong. (which is why he hates taking me to the hospital lol)

Then the doctor said the last thing she wanted to check was my cervix.

I was totally ready for her to check it and say its tightly closed, you can go home.

She started checking it and was like "oh, wow, thats surprising."

So turns out im 3cms dilated and 60% effaced.

I was only 1cm and not effaced at all with Becca, right up until when I was induced.

She said she could send me walking, and see if active labour will start, or I could just go home and relax and wait for it. I decided to go home lol

She said it could be hours, or weeks before I go into labour, but that she doesnt think i'll make it to 40 weeks.

It was a wake up call for Norm lol I have all her clothes washed and put away, but we dont have a hospital bag packed yet, havent bought diapers, and havent taken her car seat out of storage yet lol So we're getting all that stuff done now!

Im going in for a check again tomorrow morning to see if im dilated more, if I am they'll decide what to do from there. 

Im only 35 weeks, so I was surprised that they would let me go into labour now and not try to stop it.

Anyhow..here's a pic I got Norm to take right before we left for the hospital, just in case lol

PS. Norm was reading my blog the other day and said, "does anyone even read this anymore? you haven't had comments in more than 3 posts, no one loves you! lol" 

Nice husband eh?? You should prove him wrong;)
