Week 36-- doctor appointment update!

Ok so I posted about my doctor appointment I had earlier in the week. {check it out here}  I told you all about the symptoms I was having & such.  Well since that appointment I have kept a very close eye on my blood pressure & was still very concerned with what was going on.  I absolutely could not wait another minutre for our appointment today! We started out with getting the biophysical ultrasound done-- they measured everything, checked his heart, lungs, kidneys, bladder, etc.  they all looked good & then she just watched for movement (which like I mentioned in the other post has been veryyyyyy minimal)  He wasn't moving hardly at all so she went and got this little buzzer thing that made a weird nose and vibrated she put it on my belly right where his head was and pushed it-- he didn't move so she did it again and got a small amount of movement out of him but not much so she did it again and he still just had little reaction to this but he was breathing very fast like it scared him but he still just didn't move much so she said that she would let the doc know and he would make a decision on what to do.  So after the ultrasound we had our meeting with the doc. did the norm weight= no gain today, blood pressure=in the "normal" range, protien in the urine= just a trace which is normal. So when the doc came in he was happy that all of that stuff was normal and he also said that the baby scored a 8 out of 8 on the biophysical! I am experiencing horrible swelling today so he didn't like that and told me I was no longer able to work that I had to have 2-3 hours of bed rest a day (hubs said he said twice a day but my mom and I only heard 2-3 hours a day so?) I was so glad that things looked normal today but I was reduced to tears still because I just feel like something is wrong that he is better out here in the real world than inside me... I feel like my body is going to fail him-- because just because everything is normal today doesn't mean tomorrow won't be a bad day... so I expressed how I felt to the doc and I also told him about the movement & he said that he was concerned also and that Monday we would come in to do a non-stress test on the baby to check movement and heart and such... so I'm glad that he is still taking steps to make sure that baby is ok and he said that he would rather have him out too before something bad happens and what not... so we "may" get induced next week... I will be full term on Monday!!!

Other Exciting news... He is currently weighing 6 lbs 14 oz!!! so he is a healthy weight!!

I am looking forward to the test Monday because I am only feeling him have very small light movements and I'm only feeling it about once an hour but there are times I will go 2 hours with no movement so I look forward to knowing he's still ok!

Also, baby shower is Sunday!! Can't wait for this!! :)

32 weeks-- ultrasound pictures, video & survey!!

Baby didn't really cooperate at this ultrasound...

He kept his chin tucked & his hands right in front of his face for a lot of it.

Here are just a few of the pictures.

 rubbing his eye.

lips just like his daddy. :)

 

his tongue poking out :)

 his tongue all the way out. with his hand of course right up by his face.

 resting his face on his chin. :)

 his fingers look sooo long :)

 his hand is at the top and his foot is at the bottom.--he was kicking so picture didn't turn out real clear.

he was trying to get his hand in his mouth. :)

How far along?  32 weeks!! :)

Gender:  Boy.

What I miss:  my normal bodyyy.

 
What I am looking forward to:  my appt in 2 weeks. :)

Emotions:  good, I'm good. :)

Milestones:  seeing the little guy for the last time.

Stretchies:  no new ones. :)

Frustration.

So I totally have been in the dumps the past couple of weeks.  So many things have contributed to this crappy mood.  I feel bad for the people who have had to be around me.  Trust me, I have been no fun & a ticking time bomb.  At times I've been telling myself that it's the hormones but I dont believe myself when I say it.  My last day of work is tomorrow & I totally feel like me being considered "unemployed" with no baby at home is going to make this situation worse.  School is already stressing me out even though we are only into week 2.  I feel like I need a fresh start with life but I also think it's crazy that I can feel like that with the amazing little guy growing inside me.  I mean really how can a woman with a great marriage & a healthy little guy in her belly be sad.  I know everything will be ok but I need that to be right now. I need to not force a smile to spread across my face. I know times like these come and go in everyones life but I feel like this is the most inconvienant time in mine.  This weather isn't helping anything either... I need some sunshine! I'm sorry for going on this small rant.  I hope that something wonderful happens soon. Next Thursday will be wonderful-- Our second 3d ultrasound is then!  Also, I want to update you guys on my pupps situation it is practically gone.  I no longer have any "rash" anywhere on my body.  I now just have some dry skin on my stomach.  The cream that I was given even is cleary my stretch marks up & making them a little less noticable. Those are about the only positive things going on lately.  Even though Jayce is still the amazing super husband that he has always been.  He puts up with the good the bad & the ugly.  He reminds me that everything will be ok & he even puts a smile on my face multiple times a day.  He may add fuel to my fire some days but no matter what I thank God everyday for putting him in my life.  He is the BEST husband a woman could ask for & he will be the BEST dad a child could have.  Can't forget to thank my momma for being my backbone lately.  She is always there to pick me up when I feel like I'm falling.  She not only tells me everything will be ok but she always makes everything ok.  She has always put myself & my brother before anything else & without her we would be lost.  I am so thankful for not only Jayce & my mom but also my amazing family.  Just adding this little tidbit to this post has reminded me that I am lucky, I do live a good life & things could always be worse-- but no matter what everything WILL be ok because I have famILY. 

I found this today & had to include it in my post.  Sorry again for the lack of posts lately--when I get back to "me" I promise to get back to the normal--not so boring post.

I hope everyone is have a great week!

Ultrasound (28 weeks-3D)

So everything went great at the ultrasound!!!
He even cooperated most of the time... He was laying up against the placenta so you will notice in most of the pictures and during the video that the left side of his face is a little blurry because of this--We tried to get him to move away from it but he was comfortable and didn't want to.  We got 50 images on a disc plus 20 print outs (some 2d, some b&w 3d & some color 3d) we also got the dvd of course...

From the ultrasound we can now say that he has my cheeks, Jayce's lips & a definite Wilcox nose.  Oh & he has Hair!! :)

Video!!

Here is a small clip of the 30 minute dvd we have :) 

sorry if it isn't a good clip- my computer kept freezing so finally i decided to just pick a spot and go with it!

Pictures!!

 this was the very first 3d we saw of him... look at those cheeks!! Crazy to imagine how much they will grow in the next 10-12 weeks!!

 this little face broke my heart--looks like he is going to cry.

 rubbing his little eye.

Like I said earlier we recieved a ton more pictures those are just some of my faves. 

If you are pregnant and are considering getting this done I would completely recommend it! 

It made Jayce & I feel that much more in love with him & so much more excited! 

Hope you guys enjoyed!!
