Belly Shot! 27 Weeks 3 Days!

Prenatal Visit #5

+ Got a 99 on the glucose (reference range is 65-140).
+ Gained 30 flipping pounds total. 8lbs since my last appt.
+ Hemoglobin is 11.0 (i don't know?)
+ HB 144bpm
+ measuring exactly. (27 cm)

Week 28 (27th- 2nd)

Your baby measures about 10 inches from crown to rump, or a total length of about 15.75 inches from head to toe, and weighs about 2.4 pounds. Brain waves show rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which means your baby may be dreaming. Eyelids are opening. Branches of lungs are developing, so there's a good chance that baby would survive if born prematurely now.

Bagpipes!

I like Scottish Bagpipes and Drums! Mom put some headphones on her belly and after a minute or so, I came right up to the headphones LOL.. Mom tucked the stethoscope under the waist of her pants and without even pressing down on it or anything, she could hear the HB pretty clear!

Mom says it's good to know she is not torturing "the poor little thing!" (that's me)

Kitty Drama!

So earlier today Blue and I were sitting on the floor "organizing" and he decided that he wanted to crawl inside of a plastic petco bag and sit in there. And he did, and put his head through one of the handles. When he decided to get up.. the bag was stuck on his head and he didn't know how to get it off so he took off running..

He ran around the entire bedroom, out the door into the rest of the basement, he ran around the entire basement, running into things, hitting his head on things, making things fall over and fly off into other places.. I tried to catch him but he was too fast.. and I tried to catch him as he ran towards me, but he always ran by me, but still to far away to reach.. and he ran into the laundry room area of the basement and into the corner under the stairs where we store boxes and things.. and he ran underneath the shelf.

I was calling his name and pulled out all of the tubs and boxes (they were heavy) to get back to see if I could find him and I couldn't see him anywhere... Usually when I call his name he meow's or comes to me and he didn't make a sound.. It totally freaked me out because I thought that maybe he had knocked himself out when he hit his head on something.

I called Clayton bawling because I couldn't find a flash light with batteries and I couldn't find Blue and he wasn't making any sounds and I thought he had hurt himself.. So Clayton bought some batteries for a flashlight and was on his way home..

I pulled out some more boxes and made some room for me.. and then I could finally get low enough to the ground to see under the shelf (which was probably around 6 inches of space between the ground and the bottom of it) and I saw a white blob.. but then I looked around some more and saw a few other white blobs that were smaller.. so I wasn't sure if the bigger one was him or not.. but I knew he was somewhere under there... well then I heard the plastic bag crinckle.. and I called Clayton and told him that I found him but couldn't get him out.. and so he was only about 2 minutes away..

I was waiting for my dad to come pick me up, he was bringing me over to his house for a barbecue and to hang out with Kerry & the kids.. and I had to have him come inside the house and wait for Clayton to get home and wait for him to get the kitty..

Clayton got the plastic bag off of his neck and so we just left him under there with some snacks sitting out for him to have when he came out from under the shelf. I figured if he didn't have the bag on his head.. when he came out, he would be fine. If he had the bag on his head still.. he'd freak out again and probably end up doing the same thing he did in the first place.

But I got home close to 3pm and Blue had come out sometime while I was gone and he is ok now! I picked up all the plastic bags off the floor so that he doesn't lay in any of them again.. and we don't go through the same thing again.

I'm sure he's probably already forgot about the whole deal.. and I don't think he hurt himself at all!

Belly Shot! 24 Weeks 1 Day!

Week 24 (30th-4th)

Your baby, now about in its 22nd week of development, is 8.4 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 1.2 pounds. It is starting to produce white blood cells, mostly for combating disease and infection, and may respond to your touch or sounds. If you haven't felt hiccups yet, you might feel some jerking motion now.

AHHHH...

+ I am getting REALLY impatient waiting for my next Ultrasound... And its not till October 26th.... 8 weeks and 2 days away.. I really want to go to my next doc appointment too. That's in 1 week and 2 days... But it still seems so far away.

+ I had Clayton take a picture of me yesterday.. With my yellow pants and white cami.. and I look like a MONSTER! I am a giant blob. And all I can think about is my butt getting bigger because my mother keeps telling me it is getting bigger. And my pants DO look tighter.. but I can't tell if that is from my waist.. of if its from my thighs & butt.... AHH STUPID MOM! She's such a meanie.

+ I had a really stupid dream last night too...

I had an ultrasound.. and for some reason had to CALL to find out the results..

Well apparently my sister called before me and emailed me telling me that baby A was already 19.5 inches (OMG) and something about baby b.

She didn't tell me the sex or anything.. and then she said "and I'm not making any of this up"

And I think to myself, "there is NO WAY I am having twins" LOL

So I call, and the woman on the phone got mad at me for calling.. but told me that there was only one baby.. and that it was a girl.. and I was so happy I started crying.. and she said "she is DEFINITELY a girl" and then she goes, "oh wait a minute, I think I see a penis, you'd having a boy" and then I got mad and was like "WHAT?!?!"

Then after that.. I had triplets, ALL BOYS... And they constantly wanted to nurse.. like every 3 seconds.. and then this weird 3 year old came and wanted to nurse (what?!)..

And then my 3 boys turned into toddlers (2 years old) and they were all VERY BLONDE! Which is what me & Clayton are going to end up with anyways (we were both white blonde).. And they all looked slightly different, but were still identical.. And I couldn't figure out which one I wanted to call Maddox (the name we have picked out if we have a boy). So we left them unnamed.

THEN, all of a sudden, I have a 4 year old daughter. And she's really tan and she has dark brown hair..... And I refused to name her Faylinn (what I've wanted to name my daughter for years, when I have a daughter that is) because she wasn't what I wanted in a little girl. I kept wanted to call her Haley. But I couldn't name her that because it is the name of my friend, megan's, 2.5 year old.. So we left her unnamed too.

And then me & megan went to this catholic church.. and the sanctuary was actually more like this big opera house.. and everything was made out of natural colored marble.. and the sermon and everything was like a drag queen show (seriously....)

And then the rest of the church was like the target center, or the metrodome. With escalators and concession stands....

And I went there to see the pope give his blessings to my SIL & her fiance for their wedding... (bf's sister.. I went to this church with my old best friend who has never even met these people)..

And it was REALLY weird.. but at least it wasn't a nightmare....

Except this part where this lady came around with specific phrases that you had to sing.. Like only 3 people sang each one.. and my throat hurt so bad and my voice was going out and I couldn't get a peep out and she got REALLY mad at me...
