32

Pregnancy: 32 weeks

Weight Gain: according to my scale at home, -19 lbs.

Sleep: sometimes.

Gender: Girl!

Name: Darcy Noelle

Feeling: better. I had a scare over the weekend (under Health) but I'm doing a bit better now. I also saw a chiropractor yesterday so my hip pain is diminished and i just feel a bit more relaxed. apparently i had a lot of tension in my butt muscles.

Health: I have a bladder infection. It was causing pretty consistent contractions (every 2.5 minutes, lasting 30 seconds) and I wound up in L&D on Sunday. The nurses were awesome, kept me calm and got me set up for IV fluids. They told me everything they were doing every step of the way, and even made sure to get me some dinner once they realized I hadn't eaten anything all day. I don't do well with antibiotics, so I'm having some lovely side effects...but the baby is still healthy and that's what counts.

Movement: slowing down a bit as she's running out of room, but now they're just bigger and hurt some. kicks to the lungs aren't exactly fun.

Next Appointment: Jan 27th (Thursday!)

Pregnancy: 31 weeks

Weight Gain: according to my scale at home, -19 lbs.

Sleep: nope, not so much this week. nesting and scrubbing tubs at midnight, but not sleeping

Gender: Girl!

Name: Darcy Noelle

Feeling: okay. i'm having braxton hicks contractions, and regular pregnancy discomforts, but the cold is gone! Noah and Joe are battling a stomach bug, if i get that i might just move into a cave by myself until this baby comes b/c i'm tired of germs.

Health: good. bp is great too.

Movement: her movements are getting bigger and hurt more, but she's still constantly moving.

Next Appointment: Jan 27th

29wks (1 day)

Pregnancy: 29 weeks and 1 day (too sick to blog yesterday)

Weight Gain: forgot to get on the scale this week. i have a feeling it's down again b/c i've been vomiting and not eating.

Sleep: nope, not happening.

Gender: Girl!

Name: Darcy Noelle

Feeling: death warmed over probably feels better then I do. I started vomiting Monday afternoon, mostly from being sooo congested and coughing so hard. well, that made my entire body ache. i've never had my chest hurt on the outside. so i stayed home from work and TRIED to sleep. i'm taking robitussin now and it's getting better, but Noah is still sick too and that just makes me sad. he went to the pedi today, still just a cold but they prescribed a cough med safe for him.

Health: pregnancy wise it's fine. otherwise, i'm sick as a dog.

Movement: no changes, she's a mover and a shaker.

Next Appointment: Jan 11th at 30 weeks, i'm going every 2 weeks now.

other news: 2011 didn't start off great for us, but i'm hoping it gets better. our hot water heater went up on New Year's Day, but my dad was able to take care of it for us and we had a new one installed Monday night. I'm still not feeling really prepared for the baby, but my mom is working on painting the dresser this week and we'll do the window treatments...things are coming together. I'm slightly paranoid that she's going to turn out to be a boy, so i haven't bought too much stuff, but we had a lot of gender neutral things from Noah so I've been doing laundry and going through all that.
