Week 32

Jessica is HUGE! It might just be my imagination, but I think this child is going to be B-I-G! If not, than I'm going to have A LOT of baby weight to lose after this child comes out! :)

This are going really well. We are all moved into the new house, and Jessica's room is painted a beautiful light purple. We still have no furniture for her, but since she'll be sleeping in the bassinet for the first two months (at least), we figure there is no major rush.

I'm still up two - three times per night, but it's not all Jessica's fault. Megan has been waking up and screaming at the top of her lungs, so she wakes up but me and Jessica. I'm also very uncomfortable when sleeping, so I toss and turn quite a bit..especially when I'm just trying to fall asleep - which takes a good 30-45 minutes.
Time is certainly flying by, and my doctor appointments are now every two weeks. I have another one on Tuesday, so I'll be posting again next week before we all head to the beach for a MUCH needed vacation.

Here are a few pics! "Baby Bump" picture coming soon!
Hugs and Kisses! xoxoxo

Week 31

Had our doctor's appointment today. Doctor said I was measuring at exactly 31 weeks! Guess you just never know! In two weeks I have another appointment and she'll probably be two weeks ahead again. Why bother even trying to predict when they come. Jessica will come out when she thinks she is ready. :)

They said everything is looking great and on schedule. I will definitely try to get a pic of this belly up soon. It's huge!

Lots of love! xoxoxo

Week 29 - 30

Baby Jessica is getting SO big! I just love my belly! I just wish I wasn't so uncomfortable. Jessica had her first trip to Citi Field this past weekend. She loves the nachos and ice cream!

Let's see....at my last appointment I had my week 28 gestational diabetes screening. I received a call the next day that I was at an elevated risk (my numbers were outside the normal range) and I had to go back in for an additional advanced screening. This consisted of me going into the Dr. office at 8:20am, after having no food from midnight on, and having my blood drawn. Then, for the next three hours, I had by blood drawn again every 60 minutes. That is a total of four needle sticks. Not a very fun morning for me, or my veins. The good news is that I passed this screening! YEAH! I was a little nervous, but all is good, and I'm trying to watch my sugar intake. (Yes...maybe I should have skipped the ice cream at Citi Field, but YUM!)

The 10+ hour drive to and from CT was also a challenge. Jessica doesn't like being squished up and really prefers me laying down. She lets me know it too by all the swift kicks and punches I get....not to mention the bladder kicks which makes me have to pee (her way of saying she's tired of sitting, get up NOW!)

We are moving into our house this weekend, so we'll finally be getting her nursery ready. We chose a light purple for her room, and are keeping Megan's a light green. I haven't picked a "theme" for Jessica yet, but I'm thinking maybe butterflies? Megan is staying with the baby animals....which I think suits her perfect due to her love of them (well....at least cats and dogs!)

My next appt is next Monday, so I'll update everyone after that. Until then....lots of love! xoxoxo
