So today Brian and I had a regular OB appointment, and another ultrasound to check on Sean's growth.
Well the OB appointment was just fine, my blood pressure is still great, and I finally gained a little weight. The OB said that I will have my first internal and Group B strep test at my next appointment in two weeks, that should be exciting. I am praying for progress!
Then, Bri and I headed over for our growth scan... that was eventful. Sorry no pictures this time, his head is very low in my pelvis busy stretching me out, in what the ultrasound tech called the "launch" position. I am 33.5 weeks pregnant this week, and Sean is easily measuring 35 weeks already, he is 5lbs. Oye... he is gonna be a big boy. They did say they could tell that he has a full head of hair, which some people had been guessing from his previous ultrasounds.
I'll have a longer update soon with pictures from my WONDERFUL baby shower this past weekend. It was a blast, and Brian and I recieved so many wonderful things, we just can't get over our friends generosity.
Also for all of those people asking for belly pics, even though I am hesitant to show off too much skin, Brian is going to attempt his first shot at maternity pics this weekend. Assuming all goes well, I'll have some pics to show off early next week.

31w4d.... Pictures(and Sounds) Finally!!!
Sorry for the long delay, but the basement is still torn up, and we are still down a scanner. Luckily I have a wonderful friend who was able to scan the ultrasound pic for me, THANKS DB!
Also today I had another OB appointment, where the doc checked the heartbeat, my weight and my blood pressure. Blood pressure is still great as always, I still haven't gained a pound since getting pregnant, and the heartbeat was as beautiful as ever. Just click the picture below for our ultrasound pic, as well as a recording of Sean's heartbeat from today's appointment.
As for me, well I woke up out of a percocet/ambien sleep in pain last night, but decided to try to go back to sleep since I knew I already had a scheduled doctors appointment today. I am definitely getting more and more sore and tired. I actually told the OB today that I am ready for this pregnancy to be done, she said she would prefer if he cooked for at least another month, then we could talk. She understands/sympathizes with my pain, so I know that she will do whats best for both me and Sean. Let's just say that I haven't had the easiest pregnancy, and although I am eternally grateful to be pregnant, it is getting old, and I am getting sore and tired.
Anyways, in other news we have gotten a start on the nursery, after my family painted, we put up our changing table, and we put a closet unit together so that we could actually start putting things away. We got the call yesterday that our glider had arrived at Babies'R'Us, and we are making a plan to go and pick it up. The crib should be in by the end of the month, and then all that will be left is to bring Sean home! Of course that means we have to finish a whole bunch of other little projects before we are really ready for him to be home.
Ok, more later, but for now enjoy a little picture and sound courtesy of Sean!

18w6d... Busy week!
Thursday was a big day...
Bri and I had a great OB appointment. Our little one has a great heartbeat, somewhere in the 140s. The baby kept moving away as soon as the doppler got even close to it, it was cute. We LOVED the OB we saw this visit! She is very young, probably no older than Brian, but incredibly knowledgeable and very kind. We would really like her to deliver our little one... I guess we will just have to wait and see who is on call that day. Two more weeks till we find out if it is a boy or girl!
Second big news... As some of you know I have been growing out my hair to donate it to a breast cancer charity (Beautiful Lengths) for a couple years now. The back story for those who don't know, I have wanted to donate my hair for some time, but never got around to doing it. Well almost a couple years ago I decided to grow my hair longer. Around New Years 2007, I decided that my resolution would be to grow it out long enough to donate it. Well as you all know a lot has happened in those last two years, and I have gotten close to cutting it many times, but never managed to convince myself to do it. Well thursday I decided it was time to cut it. I have a completely new look, and I LOVE it. I managed to get three pony tails out of the hair that was cut off. Two of them were over 12 inches long, and one of them was 8 inches long. I had Brian come and document the whole thing in pictures, so enjoy!

14w6d... Update
Well I haven't updated in a while, because there isn't too much to update.
On Wednesday we had another OB appointment, and it went much better than the last appointment. I am down another couple pounds, which the doctor isn't concerned about at this point, but will probably be keeping an eye on. We heard the heartbeat nice and strong, right after the doppler went on my belly. I took the 1 hour glucose test, so we should know something by Monday. I am hoping all will be well, but honestly who knows. The drink wasn't so bad, its only the last couple gulps that make it taste like cough syrup.
This week while my all day morning sickness has gotten much better, I have now started involuntarily throwing up each morning either in the shower or while brushing my teeth. Its pretty nasty. Oh well I'll take it, because I feel a lot better after all of the bile is out of my stomach.

10w3d... First OB appointment.
Today was my first appointment with my OB office. It was.... ok. The first appointment at the practice I chose is always with the nurse practitioner. I DON'T like the nurse practitioner. I have a ton of things that I could go into with her... but I won't. I'll focus on the good parts of the visit. I have lost a somewhere between 3-8 pounds. I am going to get to change my prenatal vitamins, everything looks great with me.
Oh and we HEARD the heartbeat!!! It sounded just like a little train chugging along. It was wonderful and beautiful and amazing!!!!!!
As for the not great stuff, I had glucose in my urine sample, so between that and my current weight I have to do the one hour glucose test at my next appointment in one month. It is what it is...
