The results of my lab work from last week came back and it turns out that my glucose/sugar level was too high. This means that I had to go back to the lab yesterday for more testing. This time though, I had to be there for a little over 3 hours rather than just 1 […]

Birthing Videos
For our Childbirth Prep class yesterday evening we had to watch 2 birthing videos – one with a lady who did “Natural Childbirth” and one with a lady who chose an epidural. After watching both (and they showed everything btw), I have begun to wonder what I have gotten myself into. Greg says I cannot […]
Lab Work & the Inauguration
This morning I went in to have some lab work done. Specifically, I needed to drink this high-sugar concoction (which tasted like strong orange soda without the carbonation-not too bad really) and then wait around the office for an hour. After the hour was up, I had to get my blood drawn. All this is […]
Childbirth Preparation
Greg and I had our first Christian Childbirth Preparation Class yesterday evening after work. It was pretty interesting. We discussed things our bodies are going through now (and why) with diagrams which I think was helpful for the husbands to see. We also began discussing how to distinguish between false labor and the real thing. […]
Visible Movement
Our baby has gotten so active with her kicks that I can now see visible movement sometimes when I look at my belly. It is so amazing! Last night, Greg and I were watching Alias, which is one of our favorite shows that usually has me glued to the tv screen due to the unexpected […]
It’s a girl!
Well, we finally got our ultrasound yesterday. The baby looks healthy and is very active, moving ar0und a lot. The lady doing the ultrasound said the baby looks like a girl or is a “very sneaky boy.” When she pointed out what she was going off of to make her determination of the sex, I […]
More baby movements!
I have been feeling light flutterings of movement from the baby for a few weeks now. But yesterday I was actually able to feel the baby moving from the outside, with my hand on my belly. I had just eaten some yummy chocolate cake that my Aunt Kay made for Thanksgiving and sat down to […]
RhoGAM shot
Well, it looks like I have to get the RhoGAM shot. ARGH. Greg went in and had his blood type tested, and it turns out he is O+. Since I am O-, that means the shot will be necessary for me. Darn, I was really hoping that he would come up with an RH-negative blood. […]
Echocardiogram results
My echocardiogram results from my appointment yesterday were good and normal. 🙂 Hooray! I am still going to be wearing a heart monitor on Thursday for 24 hours as a final precaution, but I am glad that everything is turning out to be okay. It was weird seeing my heart beating on the ultrasound. Kinda […]
4 Months
We are now 16 weeks into the pregnancy. I cannot believe it. I had my 4 month checkup yesterday, and it was actually pretty eventful. We got to hear the heartbeat again, which was very reassuring since that is really our only way of knowing everything is okay for now. I cannot wait to feel […]
