Update on Baby

I had another doctor's appointment this morning. All is well with baby and me. We do have a name picked out that we've been calling him, so I suppose I could just start calling him that on here, but I'd better check with Jonathan first. He's afraid of commitment when it comes to this poor kid's name. :) Anyway, his heartbeat was 138, which is great. I have to get my glucose screening in a week or so. My doctor said he wants to see me in four weeks, and then after that appointment it will go to every two weeks! How exciting!! I am still feeling pretty good, although I am starting to understand what pregnant women always meant when they said they were "uncomfortable". I feel like I weigh 500 pounds and switching sleeping positions is next to impossible. And I'm only at the start of my third trimester! Jonathan keeps reminding me it will only get worse before it gets better. Thanks, hon. Such great support. ;)

Thanks for the birthday wish! I am glad to hear that all is well with you and the baby. I am sorry to say that Jonathon is right, but it is totally worth all of the discomfort! I know you know that, but I don't really have any great things to tell you to be more comfortable. Do you sleep with a pillow between your legs? That may help a little. Anyway, better go and get things done while Carson is sleeping. Have a great week!!

It definitely gets worse before it gets better - so I say Jonathan is being supportive by being honest!! :) :)

I feel as big as a boat right now...which causes back pain, it's harder to sleep/roll over, just plain uncomfortable...but I have found a sleeping position that generally works for me now, so that helps...until I have to roll over :)

So I know how you feel!! I am getting to the point that I just really want to get this pregnancy over with...and yet I am NOT ready yet.

I can't wait to hear the name! :)

Glad to hear all is going well and can't wait for you guys to come visit! About that glucose testing...is that were they have you drink that drink? If it is...make sure it is nice and cold and that you pick the orange one. I've heard the cola flavored one is nasty! Just some friendly advice :) Praying for restful nights!
