Hello All! I had an ultrasound today to make sure Emma is growing OK since I'm measurimg small for being just shy of 35 weeks. She is growing perfectly! She is exactly 5lbs. I'll post pics & a video clip of her below. The countdown has offically began. My due date, Dec 4th, will be here before we know it!

5lbs!!!

Happy Birthday!

Gary & I had a great trip this weekend in Victoria. The only glitch was I came down with a horrible migraine on Friday night after we got there. It lasted all weekend, though it did start to get better on Saturday. When I went in to my normal Dr's appt this morning she told me to go home & sleep. Then if I still had my headache she wanted me to go into triage at the hospital to make sure I didn't have preeclampsia. They monitored my blood pressure & the baby for about 2 hours & came to the conclusion that it was just a bad migraine that was hanging on. So, I got to spend part of my 33rd birthday in the hospital. Oh well. I'm just glad everything is OK. 

Other then that, the Dr said everything is great.

Oh My Aching Back!!!!!

I had my monthly check-up today & I found out that I passed my glucose test. PTL!!! No gestational diabetes here :) I am slightly anemic though, so I have to start taking an iron supplement every day on top of my daily prenatal vitamin. Other then that, everything looks fine. Except for my back constantly hurting these days. 

I only have 11 more weeks to go. I can't believe it! The time sure has flown. Gary & I are going to Victoria for my birthday. 1 last vacation before the baby comes :)

It's been soooooooooo long! Sorry :(

Let me start out by saying I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Life has been crazy... We had another ultrasound today & she is still a girl :) Emma is very active these days. If she isn't punching or kicking me, she has the hiccups. The ultrasound tech said she is 2lbs 4oz, which is what she should be if I was at about 27 weeks & I'm just over 28 weeks. In other words, she is doing fine in the growing department. We are getting more excited every day, yes even Gary :) We have the nursery painted. We just need to get the border up & the furniture put together.

I had my ultrasound this morning to find our what we are having. Drum roll please.................. IT'S A GIRL!! And she wasn't shy about letting us know either :) Her name is Emma Lorraine Reems. She is currently 7oz & about 7" long. I've attached some pictures. They scanned kinda fuzzy but you can still make her out.

Hi Dad!!

I had another Dr's appointment today. My Dr. tried finding the baby's heartbeat but was having trouble due to the baby's position. She brought in a smaller ultrasound machine & we got to see the baby for the first time. It was so awesome. When she started pointing out different parts of the baby's body to Gary, the baby raised it's arm & "waved" at Gary. It was so cute! It was like the baby knew we were looking at him/her. 

It looks like we will have our ultrasound appointment to find out the sex of the baby the week of July 7th.

In Awe!

Gary & I went to the Dr's yesterday for my monthly visit. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. I think that's when it really became real that we are having a baby. Gary sat there with a look of awe and amazement. I was equally moved. It's amazing to think that at such a young age our baby already has a perfect little heartbeat. God truly amazes me!

I've been feeling pretty good this past week. Still pretty tired but the nausea has pretty much subsided, except for at night when I'm overly tired.

I'm soooo tired!!!!

Ok everyone out in bloggerland, I need your help!!! I'm having a horrible time sleeping at night! Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas that helped you? I know that this is going to get worse by the end (and after the baby comes :) ) but I need to know if there is something I can do to get better sleep. My Dr. suggested taking Tylenol PM... I have pregnancy brain right now so of course I forgot to pick some up when I was at Target tonight, even after walking right by the medicine aisle! UGHHHH!!! It also doesn't help my sleep pattern that I'm getting up at least once or twice to go to the bathroom! 

I'm looking forward to some tips from you all! Like things I can do before going to bed, maybe??????
