I washed the baby clothes that I have today for "just in case" cleaned up his room some, well quite a bit..lol.

We had our 1st "child birthing class" this past Thursday, was fun. We had to introduce ourselves and then say what we have enjoyed in the pg. When it came to me I said my name then said I that we are 31w tomorrow (fri) and what I have enjoyed was watching my belly grow and movements (I really wanted to say I have enjoyed that we have made it this far and that I really am going to be a mummy, but I did not want to get into it...and freak others out. I have to remeber not everyone has had problems)
I finally got a massage from DH because the teacher said for the husbands to massage the wives at the end of classe for about 3minutes... ah was GREAT... (dh was afraid to massage through out the pg, for just in case I went into labor he did not want to think he started it)

30 week 4 days ultrasound ....

had my appointment to check the fluid around Orion and to check my cervix.

Orion is still looking good, but cervix has shortened more to 1.8 to 2.1 cm (18mm / 21mm) DH & I even noticed the change of it... I think we are getting good at this u/s stuff, we now what we are looking at now before the tech tells us... lol
Still having some braxton hicks at least every hour.


Dh & I think we will be meeting our little man in September instead of October.


We will see what Dr has to say a my appt next week.

I'm 30 weeks pg...

I am 30w (it's just like when I turned 30 I kept saying am I really 30...lol) I am thrilled beyond words...

My work threw me a surprize baby shower today, I was taken back. When I was opening the gifts I just kept thinking this is for my MY baby boy...my gosh... They asked me if I had anything ready yet, my answer was ah no... I guess I should start .... Is this what you call denial??

I still get scared to actually say it, to say "I am having a baby" even tho I feel him move, hear his heart beating and see him in ultrasounds. I am just still scared to say it.. that I may jinx myself and wake from this wonderful dream.

Dare I....

28weeks 6days - Dr O updatde (steriod shot)

Can I have some Orion stay put {{{VIBES}}} PLS

well cervix is soft and shortened, Dr O was debating on a steriod shot and we decided to to it, better safe then sorry. So the nurse gave me one (it stung when the fluid went in but did not hurt) and I go back tomorrow for another after my IVIG. Dr said he would not be to surprized if my little man showed up in 3w time, better to get the shots now just incase he comes earlier.... I am hoping for another 3w's atleast.

Still having lots of braxton hicks(every 1/2hr yesterday & today not as much but always when I got up and walked around) but they don't hurt yet just get very very tight on the left side.

Orion is stll very active he is loving my ribs again today.

Weight is ~ 59.0 kilo (129.8 lbs)
Urine (surgar) ~ Normal
Blood Pressure ~ 128/68
GD test ~ 6.5 normal

Gave DH a heart attack!

We were sleeping, and well around 3am I sprang out of bed in pain.... my legs were cramped so bad that I had to get( jump) out of bed so lady like, so I could straighten my legs (force to straighten them) buy standing up. When dh sat up and looked at me I was hunched over the bed, his question was are you in labor? I said NO no my legs cramped right up, sorry to wake you. His response "thank god, I thought he (Orion) was coming"

It has now happen every night.... owie! I have noticed that I am starting to swell in my ankels now and calf area.... so now Dh just rolls over as asks "you ok?" I say legs again... he says "losing circulation" and goes back to sleep.

Still having braxton hicks every hour. Orion is loving my ribs his kicks are getting much much strongers, he makes me jump.

I will assume since I have not heard from Dr. O. that I have pssed my 1hr GD test that I took last Friday (29th.)

u/s Update...and a wonderful surprise...

Had u/s today on my cervix it has shorten some from 32mm to 28mm from 4w ago, so I go again in 3w to check it again. They did a fluid check all is well in that department, Orion did his required movements & Get this Dr says Orion is almost measuring 29w (I am 27w4d today) he is weighing in at almost 3pounds...they are loving that he is big ...I am just in shock ... lol ... where is he fitting?? And he is still head down Dr for u/s does not think Orion will be able to turn around probably has not been able for a few weeks .. lol So it is looking like I just may get to try a Vaginal birth.. YES I want to try a vaginal birth!


Also I guess I had a contraction during the U/S the tech mentioned it to the u/s Dr, when he asked me about it I said yest but it happens probably 1 every hour once in a while I might get 2 in the hour but nothing regular. He said that if they become more regular get to the Hospital or my Doctor.

The u/s tech this time was not, well lets just say not very good bedside manners. I had DH plus my sister (H) and niece (T) came and the tech seemed annoyed that they were with me, She went on about how small the rooms are.. I said it is only 3 of them last time I had 6 people not including me, she just humphed said ok I will get them when it is time. I annoyed her OH WELL. She barely said two words to us in the room. At one point she had me go drain my bladder so she could do the vaginal. u/s when I came back into the room she got in my way and her response was see that is what happens with too many people in the room... what! My dh, sis & niece were on the other side... no where near her.... grouchy woman. Funny thing my niece asked what they were doing (vaginal u/s) I explained it to her, she was grossed out (she is 12yr) and said I don't want to get pg.... I said good this will prolong you... lol.

on to my surprise:

I went to meet a friend for dinner and when I got to Moxies (where I met Tammy) I actually ran into her in the parking lot with her arms full... at 1st I thought what is she doing with garbage because all I saw was boxes.. lol, then as she got closer she said you were not suppose to be here yet (the one time I am early) then I realized the were GIFTS! I was in total shock... still am. Once again I Thank you so much (my cyber friends, who would of thought my heart would be so full with friends that most I have never met!)...wow!

I LOVE everything! .... if I was not excited enough already I am more so now... lol
