Tomorrow is my ultrasound day!!

Well looks like tomorrow is the day I am going to be going in for my last ultrasound. I do not see them wanting to do anymore unless my fluid levels are lower again. I will find out if any of the cramping, contractions, etc.... have been changing my cervix and how big little Ian is measuring! So excited! On top of that I found a toy today that we wanted to buy Logan for Christmas for almost $20 off the price!! Also I picked up his crib tent, I really hope it keeps him from climbing out of the crib, I need to know he can't climb out while he is at my mom's when I have Ian! The weather here is gorgeous today, and this whole week is supposed to be in the 70's! Kids got tons of playtime outside this weekend including the last day in the pool this season, it was sad to leave for another year from the pool, but it was really fun while it lasted!

One of those days!!

Having one of those days where the kids are all going crazy, everyone is cranky and you just want to lay in bed and sleep all day long! So glad it is almost over and that hubby came home a bit early and took Kenna to the pool! I just want to scream today! Hopefully tomorrow is a bit better :) On a good note I have 6 weeks left until little Ian is born!!! So excited! Logan kissed my belly today, so sweet! We went to a birthday party for one of Kenna's friends this weekend and she just got a brand new baby brother a month ago, Logan was TERRIFIED of little Matthew it seemed! I hope he gets a bit better around him soon, he is in for a rude awakening otherwise!

32w5d Today! And last appt update!

Wow. Time is flying by so fast! 6 and a half weeks and I will have my little man here! Picked up our photos yesterday and took the kiddos to the mall play area, they had a blast! They love going there and we had an Orange Julius treat! Yum!

My last appt was pretty good, they checked my cervix to make sure my contractions I have been having are not dilating me or changing my cervix and they are not! So either it is false labor or very painful Braxton Hicks. Also had my last fetal fibronectin test done to make sure that my chance at preterm labor in the next 2 weeks is minimal. Have not gotten those results yet, but I am assuming since the doctor did not call that everything is fine (the test was done on Wednesday morning). My weight though scared me to death! I was up almost 9 lbs in 2 weeks!!! What! How did that happen? I am assuming it is a lot of water retention, but wow! Thats a lot to go up in 2 weeks! Hope it doesn't keep happening like that!

I have another u/s and appt on September 3rd, they are going to do a final check on Ian's fluid levels, cervix length and Ian's weight. Looking forward to seeing him again!

We are also trying to rent out one of our rentals right now, and very soon a 2nd one is coming up. I am just crossing my fingers that they rent very quickly and before Ian is born! It would be a load off our minds!

Kenna went to Chuck E Cheese for her one month potty treat!!! She had a blast and we are now using the bait that if she poops on the potty we will go back :) She also wants her birthday party there, and I will do that because it means less clean up for me!!! And with a 3 week old that is an essential thing that I would love to avoid!

Here are the JC Penney photos we had taken this past weekend!

Contractions

Hoping it was a fluke, started having some painful contractions last night. They are gone this morning, but still cramping a decent amount. Docs office said to go to L&D if it happens again. Hoping it doesn't! So scary! Just when things seem to be going normal something seems to go wrong :(

I am 31 weeks along today!

Yay!! I had my u/s about a week and a half ago, little Ian was measuring about 2 lbs 15 oz then! And the best news by far was the fact that my fluid levels are a bit more normal at 13 and my cervix was now measuring 36.5 mm!!!!! Yay!! It is a normal length now! I am to keep doing what I have been doing because it is obviously working. I may not even need another ultrasound the rest of the pregnancy! Hopefully I can get Billy to scan in the new photos soon so I can post them :)

My regular appt was last week and baby is great! We are just hoping he will hang in there until c-section time Oct 7th! I am on bi-weekly appts now, which is not fun for driving but always nice to hear little Ian's heartbeat! My weight has been a bit nutty though, I was down 2.5 lbs according to the scale this last appt from the 28 week appt.

Kenna is doing so so so amazing at potty training! She is going in public, she is not peeing at night (surprised me when she started waiting until I got her up in the morning to pee!!! I was NOT expecting that at all) and she uses the potty all day, no accidents for close to 2 weeks now! Only thing is she still won't poop in the potty, guess that is her only "accident" but we are just happy to have her go since she has constipation problems. I am not pushing for pooping in the potty yet, I know that will come when she is ready!

We had some family photos done this past Saturday, Kenna scratched Logan under his nose right before the photos. Poor little guy has a fresh cut in his pics! I had my maternity photos done Sat too. We didn't get a lot pf pics, the kids did not want to cooperate :) But we got some cute ones! I will post them later when they email the thumbnail versions!

Also here are a few pics of the kids from this past July, including Logan's first haircut and time-out! They are growing up so fast!

28 Week Appt Today!

I had my 28 Week Appt today, not much info though, I am getting another ultrasound next Thursday to check my fluid levels and everything. Need to cut back on the fruit smoothies though, hahaha! Gained too much weight apparently from them since that is pretty much all I can eat now that my morning sickness has returned! My c-section date is set for October 7th, 2008! So exciting to have the date. I do wish that I could have a normal labor and delivery, but I know that it is not safe for little Ian so I am going to do what is best for him! Went and got his lovies today from the Carter's store, they are adorable and I cannot wait until he is here and can learn to have them as his security blankets!

Kenna and Logan had a nice fun carousel ride at the mall with Nana! It was Logan's first time on the carousel and he enjoyed it for the most part, but got a bit scared at the end. Same thing on the real pony ride during the 4th of July, he loved the first half of the ride and then decided in the middle it was not for him :) He is still in to everything he can get into though! We just got a bunkbed in his room for him and Ian to share, I know it is premature, but we got an amazing deal on it from someone selling it used, and it matches Kenna's bed and also came with a dresser, mirror, bookshelf, mattresses and the bedding. All for the price of just the dresser brand new! Couldn't pass it up! But now Logan has taken to wanting to sleep on it, but not being ready yet! Ah well, one of these days soon enough he will be!
