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!

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!
