26 weeks!

Here are the 26wk pics...does anyone see a difference from 24wks? I think it looks like im filling out more on top of the bell, like hes up higher, does that make sense?

People have been so nice with their comments lately. Last night 2 random strangers told me i looked wonderful but then today someone said "when are you due, ANYDAY?" GRRR...reminds me of that scene in Knocked Up when shes interviewing the stars and everyone cant believe she has 2 months left...by telling her how huge she is....PEOPLE!

Last night we went to see Cirque De Soliel..it was pretty good, weird, but very entertaining. Today we did laundry and got the dog pen for the dogs...one thing off "the list". We also found out today that our furniture is in!! Its coming July 9th so i should have nurser pics up in the next few weeks!!

Pregnancy wise i feel great! All the same happening are occuring but nothing to complain about. Im sure that will all change in the next few weeks since im rounding the corner to the "uncomfortabel" trimester...but ill take it all in a heartbeat.

I got my 3 hour glucose instructions today in the mail, so im going to make an appt Monday and hopefully have it done on wednesday. My mom is going to come with me so im not too bored then we are going to pick out some fabric for jacks windows.

Have a good weekend :)

OH NO! My poor veins!

I was talking to pete last night saing "i havent heard from the doctor, i must have passed my glucose test...YAY!!" Well would you know i get this message on my cell this morning:

"Hi Torri, its Dr. B, im calling to let you know you FAILED your one hour glucose test by 8 points. Im sending you instructions for the 3 hour GTT."

I think the look on my face was priceless since pete was cracking up! Nice, huh?

Also im anemic so now i have to take 2 iron pills a day.

Oh well...

25wk appt and glucose test

Appt went well :) M BP was 118/66 (its been that the whole time lol!). My belly measured perfectly, Jacks heartrate was 150 and i gained 4 pounds (15 pounds total now). I go back July 23rd for an appt and a growth u/s. Then after that he'll start seeing us every 2 weeks!

Then i went over to the lab to do the glucose test. Ive heard nightmares about this...but it wasnt bad AT ALL! I heard you had to drink this huge glass of nasty sugary stuff but it was only like a half cup of something that tasted like ginger ale! I hope i pass...i will not be happy if i have to do the 3 hour glucose test. Not b/c of the time it will take but b/c i have the shittests veins EVER and getting 3 draws that close together will NOT be fun (or easy!).

25 weeks! :)

11 more weeks!! EEEK and YAY lol.

Im up at my moms right now. I spent thurs and last night here to get away for a bit (but i am SO ready to go HOME!). I miss Pete and my dogs..and my bed. Today im going out with my sister and Sage for breakfast and going yard saling my mom. Then its off to a graduation party to show off my belly hehe :)

Pregnancy wise im doing really good. The BH havent been bad..maybe 1-2 a day whereas it was alot more when i started getting them around 18wks. My stretch marks are becoming pretty itchy but im trying NOT to itch them, and theres no longer 2..more like 6 now. Ive been getting this really weird spasm right underneath my sternum, its really weird...gotta ask Dr. B about that one! Ive also been getting kinda ICK feeling every now and then and im chalking it up to my insides getting all squished. Oh and now i have bloody noses here and there and my nose doesnt know if it wants to be congested or DRY. I think thats it (and by the way these are NOT complaints, i write it all down so i will remember for a later date or so someone else whose in the same spot can say "WHEW, im not the ONLY one!" I LOVE being pregnant!

I have a doc appt this coming Tuesday along with my 1 hour glucose test. I really hope i pass!
Have a good weekend everyone!!! :)

24 week u/s :)

YAAAAY!!! :)
Jack is measuring right on for dates (he was 2 days behind at our 18wk u/s, so im glad he's measuring exact!, even though 2 days is nothing...but i was worried he was going to keep lagging behind...) And he weights 1 1/2 pounds which is PERFECT!

He is head down with his hands above his head so the pokes ive been getting down really low are his hands and elbows! lol He gave a few good jabs at the wand thingy and that felt very strange! It was so cool to see his features more pronounced. We even got to see him yawn! So cute!! I was so psyched to see all this b/c at our 18wk u/s the lady didnt show us ANYTHING! So i finally got to see his belly/bladder/heart and his penis! lol

AND for the best news of the day....
The SCH is GONE!!!!!! No sign of blood ANYWHERE! And my cervix is 3.4 and very thick, so things look GREAT! :)

GO US! :) :)

24 wk belly pics :)

Heres 18 weeks for comparison

24 wks...they say my uterus is the size of a soccer ball! CRAZY!!

V.I.A.B.I.L.I.T.Y!!!! 24wks :)

YAYYYYYY!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!!

This is a HUGE week for me. Little Jack now has a chance at survival if born right now (but he better stay in for 12+ more weeks!).

24wks 40% chance 28wks 90% 30 wks survival is just about definite

So im feeling pretty much the same. Ive know reached the stage were random ppl are coming up to me and asking me the "pregnancy ?'s"..when you due? what are you having? whats his name?...which then leads into "when i was pregnant...." or "when you have your baby you should...". I find it all quite humorous but when strangers start molesting my belly its kinda odd. If i know you i dont care if you rub it, but if i dont, then please keep your hands to yourself!

This week (wed) i go in for a u/s to check on little mans growth. Im excited about it b/c i havent seen him in 6 weeks! Also we'll find out if the SCH is gone..boy do i hope so!

Oh, i did take a pic today..it will be up shortly.

Keep the comments coming please :)

23 weeks! :)

Its so nice that we are counting backwards now! 13 more weeks until Jack will be here! To put it in perspctive 13 weeks ago was mid march...we can do this! :)

Some ppl have been asking me why he's coming in the 36th week (mostly likely 9/12 or 9/14). Its b/c i need to take Lovenox (blood thinner) and its dangerous for both Jack and I to go to term. For me b/c if i go into labor i may hemmorrage, so they like to control labor so i will be induced. Also the medication isnt as effective once i pass 36 weeks so i could develop a blood clot which could be fatal to both of us....scary! so im taking the induction at 36wks, can ya blame me?

So this week was good. I got out of the house and met curry,sage and ashley up at Blackstone. It was th first time i drove farther then 3 miles! It was nice to get out! I bought Jack some sleepers and a little outfit. Pete said no more clothes...but i cant help it since im so picky...i HATE winnie th pooh and insects on boys clothes - im all about the prep look :) so when i see somthing i like, i NEED to buy it! lol. Melissa and Warren also came down, it was nice to see them. I truly miss all my friends and wish i lived a tad closer so we all could get together more, rather then once every 4 months!

Pregnancy wise im still feeling pretty good. Each week im losing my belly buttton more and more. My stretch marks grow about a 1/4 an inch a week...theres only 2 so i cant complain (and i wont anyways b/c i know its just part of it all and i wouldnt trade it for anything!!). I get heartburn every so often, and im getting a weird sensation under my breasts- like a tingling - i think its the skin stretching. Jack is getting stronger and he hangs out on my right side, im def lopsided lol. Around 20 weeks my headaches, bowel issues and queasiness all subsided...i guess it cause my hormones have "leveled off" so my body is adjusted. Sleep is somtimes a challenge, not b/c im uncomfortable but b/c after i get up and pee (which is about 2x a night) i have a tough time falling back to sleep. Sometimes im up at 3am for good. My mom got me a Snoogle pillow for Mothers Day - LIFESAVER! I think thats all..

I want to send out a special CONGRATULATIONS to Joe and Peg who just got the news they are able to go pick up their little boy in Guatemala very soon! YAY!
Also to Jamie and Wade who found out this week they are pregnant-again! God Bless you jamie...im scared of 1 and your gonna have 4!

22 week belly pic

this is 12 weeks for a comparison since im wearing the same shirt.

i dont think theres too much of a difference from 20 weeks.

a day late- 22 weeks :)

First i have to say my E ky isnt working well, so plase excus any typos.

This week is "picture week" but i just dont feel like downloading it right now...ill get to it soon.

This week was nice. It went by fast b/c of th long weekend which was nic b/c i hate it when time fels like its standing still.

Pregnancy wise, im feeling lots of round ligament pain, Jack is kicking harder, and im getting BH about 5-7 times a day.

This wekend we registered!!! I didnt want to until 24 weeks but pete was excited to do so, so we went. It took us ysterday and today to finish. I dont feel comfortable putting my last name on here but its at BRU, so if you know me well enough, you can find it. There were alot of moms we ran into while we were there and they gave us good advice throughout, so that was nice. They told us some good tips on what to get that they didnt feel they needed until there babes came.

OK, so were are the comments? I know some ppl read regularly but nevr leave a commnt...leave them! i feel like all i do is talk to myself on here!!
