Update 12/06/11

How far along: 39 weeks, 7 days to go!
Size of baby: I have reached the size of a watermelon!
Maternity Clothes: Nothing new. Hopefully I can pack these up soon!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Less and less.
What I miss: My energy, being able to sleep through the night.
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: Severe swelling and heartburn and just sick all over :(

Doctor's appointment was ok today. Her heart rate today was 134. No exam today because I haven't had any contractions or anything. I am stuck at home today, though. Once again, my blood pressure was higher than normal and there was protein in my urine. The doctor is worried about preeclampsia again.

So, today I am stuck at home peeing in a jug every time I have to go, which is a lot! In 24 hours I go back to the lab to get some blood work done so they can test for the preeclampsia. If it comes back positive, Little Miss has to come out! I don't know how long it will take for them to get the results back but I would assume it's pretty quickly since this is pretty serious.

It makes me nervous to think that something might be wrong but I might have this little baby this week so that's a good thing! At least the nursery is done and ready for her! I'm hoping that we can get the kitchen done before she comes but if not, oh well.

Oh a happier note, my Christmas shopping is just about done. I only have a few more items to buy and them it's time to wrap! I love to wrap Christmas presents. I love the cool wrapping paper and decorating with bows. And I love having presents under the tree! I decided to buy one or two higher priced items for everyone this year rather than a bunch of small things.

That's all I have for now. We have another appointment scheduled for next Wednesday as long as we make it until then.

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what if... I almost punched a woman in line behind me at the grocery store the other night.  See the full story HERE .  I really think the shirt I wore yesterday makes the bump look huge.  That or all my other shirts disguise it a bit better.  Either way, no more wearing that shirt. Ever since Sunday's 'incident', I think every little cramp or pain is me going into labor.  Yes I know better but the thought is still there (click HERE  for that story). I have absolutely no motivation to cook or clean right now.  I just want to sleep.  All the time. I have already forgotten about Instagram.  I don't adjust well. I tried making the Coca Cola cake that I've been talking about but it wasn't as successful as I hoped it would be.  I will try again at some point. I did make THIS easy dinner recipe and, holy crap, was it awesome! I'm over Kimye's baby.  I was over it the day the kid wa...
