I know, I have not been the greatest about keeping up to date on this pregnancy.  I have just been so tired lately!  I am about to start my 37th week!  Officially full term, I could go any day now.  I am hoping sooner rather than later!  My last appointment was suppose to be this past Thursday but the doc got called into an emergency c-section so I was rescheduled for Monday at 12:30.  She will do the strep B test and an ultrasound to check his position.  I am pretty sure he is head down since when he gets the hiccups I feel them low down.  I was going to have her check me as well, I have been feeling lots of pressure lately and having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions.  I am anxious to actually go into labor. WIth Ty I had to be induced so I don’t really know what to expect!

The nursery is all set up.  I had my baby shower on March 17th.  It was awesome!  I was very spoiled by all my friends and family.  On April 11th they had a baby sprinkle for me at work.  My coworkers totally spoiled me as well!  I think the only thing we need is a diaper bag.

My mom comes up on May 1st, which I can’t believe is in a week!  We are so excited to have her stay with us for the summer.  She is going to spoil us for sure!  It will be nice to eat some delicious dinners once she gets here.  I have not been up for cooking much of anything creative lately.  Seems to be the same easy stuff these days or going out to eat.

We are definitely ready for Eli to make his appearance now!  Hopefully he comes soon!

I just got back from my level 2 ultrasound. I had done the triple screen blood work and one of the screens came back elevated. So, my ob thought it best to send me for a level 2 ultrasound to make sure all was well. She thought it was elevated due to what might be left of the other baby. We had to go all the way down to Bayfront (St. Pete), why do they never have specialists close to your home??? First we had to meet with the genetic counselor, which was interesting. You had to go through your entire family history on both sides. Then she discussed the blood work and what could potentially be wrong with the baby. It was pretty awful! I wish they would have just done the ultrasound first and if there was a problem, then do all that genetic counseling business! So, after all that wonderful news, we go in for the ultrasound. The tech was very nice and we got some great new pictures of Eli, yes we are pretty surely set on Eli, just need to figure out a middle name, and no it will not be Godzilla, no matter how much Dave wants it! She measured lots of stuff, looked at the brain, stomach, spine and everything looks great! No signs of Spina Bifida! The doctor came in after and said everything looked perfect! He is measuring perfectly and she saw no signs of anything. It was such a relief!

So, hopefully now I can really relax with this pregnancy. I hate that I dread going to the ob, when I should be so excited! I am just always thinking, what is going to be wrong now. Since I know everything is going along perfectly now, hopefully I can chill out and relax! I have still been feeling pretty good. My back is starting to hurt and the heartburn has kicked in, I am also still pretty tired! I did go register at Babies R Us with Suzanne! That was lots of fun. I already got one present already! My mom sent me the stroller and car seat!!! How awesome is that???? We are also in full swing for planning the baby shower as well! Mom can’t wait to cook the food! Looks like it will be a Mexican food theme on St. Patrick’s Day! I think that sounds fabulous!
