I had another OB/GYN visit this morning. my blood pressure was VERY good (120/70) so there’s no concern there. however, my 24-hour urine was slightly elevated so she’s going to have me do another one (most likely) after I see her next week. I’m a pro at that now! I go back to see her [...]

it sure has been HOT! we went to one of Scott’s friends houses yesterday for a little cookout and I managed to get some sun. at least I’ll have a little color on my upper body for those post-partum photos! I was SO hot after that and our apartment was roasting that I asked Scott [...]

I’ve been nesting. I’m OBSESSING about cleaning and organizing things. we bought two new computer desks yesterday that will be delivered Tuesday because I just can’t stand the way things currently are with my “half-a-desk” and Scott’s drafting table being used as his desk. I started doing the baby’s laundry last night – I did [...]

I feel like I have so much to do before Patrick arrives. today is a busy day for me – I’m interviewing a lady at 9:00AM, then I have my doctor’s appointment at 11:00AM. I have to get my car towed to the shop today so it can be fixed – and here’s to hoping [...]

today is the start of week #35, I am officially in the home stretch of this pregnancy. this morning I had to start yet another 24-hour urine collection so they can test for elevated protein levels one more time. now is the time when pre-eclampsia can get pretty wicked so my doctor just wants to [...]

I had another ultrasound today just so they could measure the baby, check his growth, and see how things are in there. he is DEFINITELY a boy! he is in the right position (head down), he has some hair but not a lot, and he weighs 6lb. 8oz. we got some CUTE pictures today, too!!! [...]

I greeted my first mother’s day morning with a bout of insomnia. I went to bed at my usual time of 9:30 – feeling exhasted and ready for a good night’s rest – only to wake up at 1:30AM (my usual time for a potty break these days) feeling WIDE awake. so I got up [...]

we got the diaper bag back from the embroidery lady yesterday – it’s AWESOME!!!!! I just love it!!! totally worth the $70 to have everything done and personalize it, now I just have to pack it up to take to the hospital. here are some photos: she took two onesies with her that she’s going [...]

I had another routine check-up yesterday and everything is looking good. my blood pressure seems to be under control with the meds, the baby’s heartbeat was strong and steady, and I’ve only gained 20 pounds so far! I’m scheduled to go for another ultrasound next friday morning and then back to my OB for another [...]
