Third-Trimester

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This past Sunday marked 29 weeks and day 1 of my third-trimester. I know I keep saying this, but I cannot believe how quickly time is flying. Where did 2009 go? How is the Christmas season already here? Will there really be a baby here in 11ish short weeks? It is absolutely crazy to think about.
I had another check up today. I got a Rhogam shot because I am Rh- and it should help prevent antibodies from forming and attacking the fetus if she is Rh+. Dr. Gowan says baby is doing well. She has a good strong heart beat and is moving around like crazy. I feel her all the time now, except when I am sleeping- thankfully she hasnt gotten strong enough to keep me up!
With the holiday season, and my birth month, in full swing and every weekend booked with some fun event, January will be here before we know it! I am looking forward to that as we have a couple of showers in the works which will be a lot of fun!! Happy Holidays!

How is it already November?

This is what I look like just walking down the street


Seriously? Where has this year gone? I cant believe Thanksgiving is less than 3 weeks away. Well, I am past 6 months now, which is scary. I finally ordered the crib last week, I am very excited about it. When it gets here, I guess it will really be time to start getting the nursery in order, just in case baby girl decides to come early. I found out that my grandmother, Mama, and one of her closest friends have a bet to see who's birthday she is born closest to. Mama's is Feb 13 and Mrs. Melnyk's is Feb 22. I dont think anyone knows what the prize will be for the winner, but I personally am pulling for Mama, more for my own comfort than anything else ;)
So I had another doctors appointment Friday. I had a diabetes test, which came back negative, yay me! I have gained 3-4 lbs since the last appt 5 weeks ago. As for baby girl, Dr. Gowen was very happy. She is very active and had a heart rate of 152, both which are positive signs for great health! We most likely wont be having another ultrasound until 36 weeks unless they determine she is breech, which, based on her movements and past ultrasounds, that is not the case. We have progressed to the point in the pregnancy where I will be seeing the dr every 2-3 weeks. Yikes!
Thanks to several friends I compiled a list of registry necessities, which made the trip to Babies-R-Us MUCH less overwhelming. I think we were able to do the whole registry in 1-1.5 hours, which I was pretty impressed with.
I guess thats all for now. Have a great day and looking forward to seeing friends and family over Thanksgiving!
