Back up and running!

I finally had the Internet fixed around here, so I am able to be back online again full time, which means more time for blogging!! I just need to get a wireless router now so I can use my laptop here at home again, but I have to send it out to Dell to get fixed because the screen lid decided to break.

Well, October is upon us and this is going to be one busy month around the Fry household. We are going to be moving on the 18th to the other side of our complex to a two-bedroom that we were able to score an amazing deal on, $30 less then what we are paying for now, and it is really a good thing we were able to get the two-bedroom because as we start buying things for the baby, like his travel system (stroller and car seat combo) and people start giving us gifts like lots of clothes and a baby bath, we soon realized that for such a little guy, his things are big and taking up a lot of space. Plus, my mom is throwing me a baby shower that same week, so things are going to be pretty busy. Not to mention that once we move, we have about two weeks before my due date, so my mom said that she will come over and help me get things settled in, so our house is somewhat organized when John comes.

Speaking of John, things are going well, we will be at 35 weeks tomorrow. He is still as active as ever, and at the doctor they have been hooking me up to a fetal monitor to check his heartbeat and the doctor says he seems pretty happy in here. I had to cancel my appointment for yesterday due to Phil and I having a cold (which he is better because he can take some good medicine for it, I am toughing it out with no meds), so we go on Friday and should have another growth ultrasound. I am interested to see how big he is now, he was 4.8 pounds about 3 weeks ago, and I am also hoping he cooperates and lets us get a good 3D picture of his face this time.

32 Week Update

Today was my 32 week prenatal appointment. I first had to get blood drawn and also turn in the 24 hours of urine I collected all day yesterday, which will check to see if I have any problem with protein in my urine, which might be a sign of a high blood pressure issue. Every time they check my pressure it is always high, so the doctor says I am to get a blood pressure monitor for home and check daily. He said sometimes your blood pressure will be normal at home, but high at the doctor. If it is high at home as well, then I will be put on some meds until the baby is born, so I don't have any complications during labor and delivery.

We had a growth ultrasound today and John is 4lb 8oz, which surprised me, because I really didn't think he was that big already, but they said he is still right on schedule and everything looks good. Of course, just like his momma, he is stubborn and never lets us see a good picture of his face in a 3D ultrasound, today he had his face toward my back and wouldn't move for anything. I guess he wants to keep it a surprise what he is going to look like, but I am just dying for a little peek.

Everything else is going well, I was tested for gestational diabetes last time I was in there and that came back negative, and so now it is basically just a sit back and wait for him to be born anytime after 36 weeks, although I am really hoping he goes the whole 40 weeks and is born in November instead of October, since October is just a month I don't like, and I really hope he isn't born on Halloween, because I hate that day with all the gross stuff lol. But he will get here when he gets here, and I can't wait to finally meet him!
