ultrasound number 2

Had an ultrasound today to check the baby's placement and size. The doctor thought that our little one was getting too big and was maybe breech. The ultrasound went great. Little baby Fry is head down as supposed to be and is measuring right on target for our duedate. I do have a big belly but the rest of me is the same size as before pregancy, poor little baby is running out of room inside and is pushing my belly out even further. Everything looks great and healthy. It was so nice to be able to see our baby for the 2nd time only. So now on to wait for stuff to happen.

Wedding Dress Shopping

Last week my sister and I went to a nearby city wedding dress shopping. It was so much fun. She wanted something simple but elegant and formal. These are just a few of the many she tried on. It is so much more fun shopping for someone else. Which dress do you think looks best????

I love the one she picked, it suits her very well. Guess which one??

37 Week Appointment

My blood pressure was up at the appointment but I was not surprised as I had lost my keys and was late for the appointment so I was quite worked up. Hgb was a little low but not too bad. Had my group B swab and first check. No cervical changes, pooo. Also my doctor was concerned that the baby may be breech or in position with his/her hand by his/her face in the pelvis. Baby is measuring 38-39 weeks already. So we have an ultrasound next week to check size and position. My doctor said he gives us a 50/50 chance of needing a c-section. Not the news we wanted but it is fine. I would much rather know I likely need a section and can book it and the doctor I want ahead of time than suddenly needing an emergency one. I wonder if our dates are off and that is why the baby is big, because I had thought I was due sooner than the dates the ultrasounds gave me. Hopefully baby is in okay position, I keep thinking of my poor baby's hand getting squished in my pelvis.

Today I went and preregistered at the hospital and visited with a bunch of coworkers there. It is nice to have preregistered, they filled out all my admitting papers and showed me around. I had been on the mat ward before but had never worked there so it was nice to snoop around and see what stuff is like.

So now we just wait. Wait for the ultrasound next Tues and see what the plan is after that, unless we go into labor before that and get to meet our little one.

Heavy load

I have to say that pregnancy has it's challenges, such as getting up off the ground. A big thank you going out to my sister for taking a picture instead of helping me up. It kinda looks like I am in labour here but really this is the easiest way to get up.

37 Week Pictures

37 Weeks

37 Weeks pregnant!!! Yah!!!

I am getting really excited to meet our little one and to see if we have a son or daughter. I am feeling really good. Every little ache or pain I stop and wonder 'What was that', 'Is something starting'. I am getting back cramps at times and pelvic pressure so I am hoping that is the beginning of something, though it could still take a few weeks. This weeks appointment will be the first time I get checked so I am hoping that there is some progress happening.
Just waiting and wondering!

Pregnant Camping

We took our little trailer to the hills a few hours away for 3 nights of camping. It rained and rained the first 2 days, which made everything very muddy which Justin really enjoyed. I am glad we have a big truck as we were pulling our little trailer through all sorts of muddy trails and hills, poor trailer was sliding all over. We got a nice camp spot on the creek. Then next day Justin's brother and girlfriend arrived. We spent one day fishing and walking around a nearby lake but did not catch anything. Poor Hemi hurt her foot and was limping all over the place feeling sorry for herself. It slowly got better over the next few days, so was nothing to worry about. Justin fished along the creek and caught about a dozen, some fairly big. I was worried about camping 34 weeks pregnant, but it was great. Only thing was needing to pee in the night. But these hills do not have many bears, just cougars, so I was not afraid to go out on my own. Ate lots of bad snacks like pop and chips and candy, which we normally never have.
Here is a picture of me in the trailer. It made me laugh with my green belly sticking out of my coat that I could not do up completely.
