Another Overdue Update!

I am so bad about updating sometimes but I have been so sick that i just did not have it in me to sit and type. LOL!
Jan. 22ND was my hematologist appt. Everything is still looking fine. My Von Willenbrand's panel is holding steady, my clotting time is good and my anemia is not that bad. another visit in 6 weeks and that can quite possible be the last one until after baby is born!! (I can't wait to stop these Lovenox shots!! LOL!!)
So on Jan 26Th I went for my 1 hour Glucose test. Of course my OB was getting me prepared for the worst, GD, due to my PCOS. So I do the test, have my regular appt (all is going well but I do wish that the weight would level off, I am not eating too mush of bad). So I don't hear from them later that day of the next so I call Wed, Jan. 28Th in the morning. I PASSED!! No GD!! I dodged the bullet with this pregnancy too! Whew!!!
Jan. 29Th Michael and I had a "Date Night". We went to the Metallica concert!! It was FABULOUS!! Addison went to DMB and Billy Joel while I was pregnant with her and now this baby went to Metallica. If DMB was not on 4/14 (too close to my EDD) Baby would have been to DMB inutero too!
Jan. 30Th was my Perinatoligist appt and another sono. So baby is about 2lbs 7oz, perfect weight for this point on my pregnancy. I did ask the tech if we could try a couple of 4D shots of Baby's face, well, the little stinker was hiding. Baby has its arms up blocking its face, like a boxer does during a fight. You could see baby's elbows and hands crossed over its forehead. the tech gave me a pic of it, one normal and 1 close up, you can just make out part of Baby's eyes, nose and mouth. It is not a 4D though. She said that she will try again at my Feb appt.
Here are the pics that she gave us...

DOUBLE DIGITS!!!

Look!!! Look!!! I am down to double digits on my Countdown To Baby Vee!!! I can't believe that the baby is going to be here in 3 months, give or take a few days!!! I can't believe that I am 26 weeks already and just a few days from the third trimester!! I can tell you this, my body is truly starting to feel it though. I have nothing done for this baby yet. LOL! I still need to register for a few things just so people have a clue as to what I need for this little bundle of joy. I am hoping to go out and register either this evening or tomorrow evening but I am still unsure if I will get out. It is supposed to get brutally cold over the next few days. So cold that it is going to be a fight to get into the teens and as the sunsets the temperature will fall into the negative digits. If I do go I am going to have to head out alone, it will be entirely too cold for Addison to come out (that might be a good thing though). Maybe I can get my mom to come up for 2 hours so Michael and I can go together and not have to worry about Addison getting tired and cranky or bored and want to run all over the store.
As for how I am feeling. I am getting a lot more intense Braxton Hicks Contractions lately. I am also starting to feel some cervical cramping sometimes. Sometimes they are very painful too. I really need to start paying closer attention to my water intake, just to see if dehydration has something to do with it but I highly doubt it. Well, I am off to get Addison and I some breakfast, I will write again soon.

25 Weeks ~ Where Has The Time Went??

I can't believe that I am 25 weeks pregnant already. Even worse, I can't believe that I have not blogger in nearly a month. LOL!
The holidays were good, quiet but good. Christmas Day and New Year's Eve was spent at home, just the 3.5 of us. I have been trying to fight off being sick since right before Christmas (and still am trying but finally losing)
Yesterday I had an OB and Perinatologist appointment. I am up a total of 14 lbs from pre-pregnancy weight (not bad!) I am measuring perfect for my EDD. I go back in 3 weeks for my glucose tolerance test. Let's just hope that I can keep that stuff down. LOL! I also had a Perintaologist appoint and sonogram scheduled for yesterday too. My mom went with me to that appointment. Addison had so much fun with her Gramma!! They played, sang and pretended to be on a scavenger hunt while waiting to be called for my appointment.
My sonogram went great. Tad is measuring right on point for my EDD too! Tad is weighting about 1 lb 7 oz right now. The Perinatologist got a great shot of Tad and printed a copy for me and one for my mother. Mom was so excited to come with me to the sonogram. She can't wait for this baby to be born (as can we). She did try to ask the Perinatologist what the baby's gender was. I told him not to answer her because I (and Mike) do not want to know. he told us that he could not tell us if we wanted to know because the baby is in such a weird position that he cannot tell. Either way, I do not care, just as long as my child has 10 fingers, 10 toes and is born healthy!!
Well, here is the latest pictures of Tad...



Here are also a few belly hots of me too....
