27 Week Bumpdate

 
Well I'm officially in my 7th month and third trimester and my doctor's appointments will be bi-weekly.  I can't believe that we will meet our little man in three months!!
 
The heart rate today was 140 and all is well.
 
The little man is kicking a whole lot more than his sister ever did.  That or I'm just smaller so I'm feeling it more.  I mean, the kid never stops.  It's nice to feel his kicks but it's also extremely uncomfortable at times.

I'm now up 13 pounds.  I feel like I am huge now but the doctor says 13 pounds at almost 28 weeks is really good.  That made me feel better because I was worried. 

My symptoms are pretty much the same.  I haven't had any Braxton Hicks since last month so that's good.  Really the only thing that has gotten worse is my sleeping.  I wake up a few times throughout the night just to toss and turn or to pee.

My ankles swell pretty much every day now but I still have less swelling than I did the first time.  I was outside all evening this past Saturday for my birthday and it was hot and humid!  I found that the more I walked around the more my ankles stayed calm.  But sitting at work all day makes them swell.  Oh well.

We did find out that little man is definitely a little man.  He wasn't very cooperative at our 3D ultrasound so we didn't get very many pictures of him.  I go back for a free re-scan on Father's Day!



My baby shower is scheduled for July 21st.  My Mom decided that she is just going to have it at a local restaurant.  It's just easier that way.  I can't wait!


Next Bumpdate in two weeks!

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...

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 ...
