Alrighty, NOW things are starting to get a bit exciting!! Yesterday was the 34 week checkup. Guess what we did....
We scheduled an induction!!!!! So for all of you who are getting super duper excited, Dorothy will be here (or at least well on her way) on or before JULY 29!!!
Dorothy is measuring right where she should be, heart rate sounded good and my b/p was good. AND I actually sort of packed my hospital bag the other day. The hubs and I were picking up and rearranging in our bedroom and I came across the bag of toiletries from our little vacation we took at the beginning of the month and so I decided that rather than putting them away I'd just put most of it in the bag I had designated as the hospital bag. That's using the old noggin, right?
I'm getting more and more excited about birth, and while I know I'll miss being pregnant, there's always next time (I HOPE!!) and I know she's going to be in good hands. Emily and Henry are getting very very excited as well. Although IDK if they're really ready, they're ready. No first time parent is ever REALLY ready, are they? Shoot, we weren't ready the 2nd time around, either!!! LOL! The important part is, I know they're going to be great parents, and they have a fantastic support system, they're not really high strung, but they care enough to worry, and they're very sweet. It's hard to believe we've only known each other for a year. It was just about a year ago right now that I emailed them and asked if they would be interested in seeing if we are a match. They were on vacation, so I didn't hear back for a couple of days. And it's been wonderful ever since!!
So that's this week's recap. Next appointment is on July 8, then after that I sstart going in weekly and there's only 3 weekly visits, as the 4th (which wuld be 40 weeks, AKA full term) visit would be scheduled on the day we are planning to induce (IF she's not here yet). So I'll catch y'all in a couple of weeks!!! Have a great weekend and fantastic 4th of July!!!

32 Week Checkup
Yesterday was my 32 week checkup. We just got back from a little vacation to Omaha on Wednesday, so I've been very busy getting laundry washed and put away and all of that other little post-vacation stuff you get to "enjoy" after being away for several days.
My appointment was at 10:15 but I had a bill to pay at the hospital, so I went early to do that, and ended up being at the drs office by 9:55 and they called my name right away! Pee looked good, baby's heartrate was in the 160s, measured on the bigger side of right on track, and weight looked pretty good. I didn't have any questions for the doc, but we discussed how my weight gain was doing, which was good. She pointed out the 1 month where I had gained 11 lbs (only had gained a few lbs up till then) and I commented that was the month I rediscovered swiss cake rolls. Then we got off on a tangent about yummy foods while she washed her hands, she commented that she has been known to eat a half loaf of french bread with olive oil and parmesan cheese. So of course after my visit, I had to run to the store for a few things and passed the freshly baked bread a couple of times. Do you think I managed to surpress the craving???
NO!!! So I ate 3 pieces of the bread on the way home. IT. WAS. DELICIOUS!!! And today I got to go to the farmers market and another pregnant friend has been recommending 1 lady's bumbleberry pie for a while (she wasn't there when I went a few weeks ago, I was disappointed) and I GOT ONE!!! Needless to say, lunch has started with a slice of it today, and might just end with one as well!!! DELICIOUS!!!
Oh, yeah, this blog is supposed to be about pregnancy, not food....um, well, I guess that covers my cravings!! (OK, let's be realistic, that doesn't even come close to covering my cravings, but the more I talk about them, the stronger they get!)
So, sorry this is another boring post, but that's all I've got for you, folks. Another checkup in 2 weeks. That will be another boring one. Aren't you glad you're following this blog?! How can you contain your excitement?!
