32 weeks and First trip to L&D

I knew I wasn't in labor, but seeing that's the only place they'll see you on a Sunday I figured I better go in. Baby was fine, I was not!
Matthew is such a great sharer...he decided to share his stomach virus with me! Once I got home the fever kicked in and I was pretty miserable for the rest of the day. Fortunately today I feel a lot better...still tired but better.

I started my bi-weekly non-stress tests today to monitor baby. I got Nurse Snippy today who was inconvenienced by my presence. It seems arriving 10 minutes early meant she couldn't go get her popcorn down at the cafeteria (which they ended up denying her anyway when she did go down). From talking to another patient on the way out I guess she's always that way. She really wasn't pleasant. She was even more annoyed when Zachary decided it was time for a nap and didn't want to move. That meant I had to stay on for another 10 minutes after drinking two large glasses of ice water.

No appointment until next week. Even though I'm supposed to go every 2 weeks I guess the doctor's schedule doesn't allow for that...go figure.

I've decided that I am only one person, and I can only do so much. Getting sick in the middle of the night was kind of a wakeup call. I could have called a neighbor or friend, but who wants to wake someone up at 3 am. And what if something HAD happened??
I'm missing Jeff more and more each day, and it touches my heart how much he misses me. I love him, my kids and my kid to be....I can't ask for much more.

30 weeks

Well, we're getting down there. I had my appointment yesterday, quick and easy. My belly is only measuring 24 weeks, but she said that is because he's transverse (sideways). It still has me a bit concerned, but with the diabetes I'd rather have him measuring smaller than bigger. I start going every 2 weeks now, as well as bi-weekly non-stress tests to monitor him. Insulin got bumped again, no surprise.
It's strange being THIS pregnant and having people not even realize that I'm pregnant. I had two comments today...one saying they would have guessed 4 months, another saying she didn't even know I was pregnant. My doctor said I hide it well. I'm guessing once he shifts head down there won't be any more hiding it.
Don't get me wrong, I definitely have a belly, but it's not one of those cute little ball bellies...it's kind of an all over hugeness.
So if you have any extra turning vibes I'd appreciate it. He's got plenty of time, but I'd still rather him flip sooner than later.

29 weeks plus some!

Okay, so I forgot to post this week...shoot me!

29 weeks and 2 trips to the doctor's office. The first one was last week when I didn't feel well and the Z-man wasn't moving like he usually is. I got hooked up and everything was fine, bloodwork fine, etc. Then on Friday I noticed a bright red rash like thing on my left leg. It didn't itch or burn, just looked bright red, and my leg was more swollen than the right. Tuesday my doc calls me to let me know my thyroid was off and I mention to her the redness along with my asthma kicking in. She had me come in and they did an ultrasound on my leg to check for blood clots. I never got a call back, so I'm going to assume it wasn't! The swelling in that leg is now back to the usual typical swelling. The asthma I am attributing to the nice cold the kids shared with me!

My next appointment is Wednesday, which I'm assuming I will start going every 2 weeks from here out. We're getting close....but I wish it was closer!
