Weight

I forgot to mention in my previous post that my weight gain is good again. From week 12-16 I actually lost a pound and the doctor was a little concerned but from week 16-20, I gained 7 lbs! I guess I caught up. Total weight gain so far is 14 lbs. I checked my blog and during my pregnancy with Katie and I gained 12 lbs by this time. So I’m almost on the same track.

Here’s another picture of the little guy that isn’t really a chocolate chip anymore.

Babies!

No…I’m not pregnant but I have had a lot of people asking me lately. Even Katie thought I was looking prego. Anyways…our “made in Boston” project didn’t work this month so maybe better luck next month.

So in the last 3 days, I’ve heard of 4 new pregnancies!! Two are on their second baby and two are brand new mommies. Congratulations to all of you!!

Getting close?

Stop reading if you are grossed out by bodily fluids.

I just got off the phone with my doctor. A little earlier today I had some brownish discharge. I didn’t think too much of it because I have been getting a lot of mucasy discharge for the last week. But after dinner I decided to look it up online. This is what I found on babycenter.com:

“Call your practitioner right away if you’re not yet at 37 weeks and you notice an increase in discharge or a change in the type of discharge (if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody — even if it’s just tinged with pink or brownish old blood). “

ahhh!!……I’m at 37 weeks right now so I decided to call my doctor. They paged her and luckily my doctor was the one on call. She told me it’s nothing to worry about. It could be an after-affect from my last visit with her and it is normal. The baby is moving a lot so I think everything is ok. Pish is very relieved because the Warrior game is on right now and he didn’t want to have to miss the game.

Thanks Mom

I just want to send a big THANKS to my mom who has helped me so much through my pregnancy. Last week Pish couldn’t make it to my doctor appointment so my mom came with me. She got to meet my doctor, hear the baby’s heartbeat and I gave her a tour of the hospital so she knows where to go when I go into labor. Also, my mom has been so nice to keep cooking me yummy food. I’ll either pick it up from her after work or she even delivers it to us. THANKS mom!!

1 cm

Just got back from my weekly doctor appointment. My cervix is 1 centimeter dilated and 50% effaced! (I think the baby comes when I’m 10 centimeters dilated and 100% effaced?) So I don’t think I’m close yet but the process is starting! Pretty exciting!

2am

I woke up before 2am today. Went for my normal trip to the bathroom and could not sleep anymore. Why is it that in the middle of the night, I think of all the things I need to do the next day? After tossing around, I finally gave in and went downstairs to watch some TV and to eat something. I was hungry again. :) Usually after watching a 30 minute show, I can fall asleep on the couch but not this morning. I just laid there wide awake. So I started watching a Planet Earth episode we had on Tivo. Amazing stuff! Did you know a mother humpback whale takes its baby to a shallow waters for 8 months to keep it safe? And during these 8 months, the mom does not eat! She feeds the baby milk everyday to keep the baby strong but in the mean time, she starves herself because there is no food in the shallow waters. See what moms go through! Husbands and dads should appreciate women more!!

Something is definitely going on….

I’ve been very lucky to have had an easy pregnancy so far. No morning sickness or aches and pains. But as I like to say to Pish everyday, something is definitely going on with my body. Here’s a list of things I’ve been experiencing:

1. My nails and hair are growing faster
2. Braxton Hicks (sudden tightening of my belly-no pain though)
3. Always wanting to eat (My favorite is still vanilla bean ice cream)
4. Gained 32 lbs (I weigh more than my skinny husband)
5. Hot flashes (At work I usually have a sweater on and a fleece blankie on my lap but lately I get so hot. I have to wear a short sleeve top everyday now and my hands/feet are always sweaty)
6. Swollen feet (Flip flops everyday now – I know my in-laws won’t like this because I’ve already fallen once while wearing flip flops but my normal shoes don’t fit anymore…)
7. Growing belly (which is a good thing because it makes my butt look small)
8. Belly has dropped (I can tell because it’s pressing against my bladder and I have to pee ALL the time)

I’m completing my 37th (out of 40) week of pregnancy. It’s considered full term now which is good because I’m READY!

Waiting game…

I feel pretty anxious these days. The baby room is done, the clothes are washed and the carseat is in. Oh by the way…Pish passed the baby carseat inspection this morning. He went to the Irvine police station to get it checked out. He’s very proud of himself that he passed. So back to being anxious…I feel like I don’t know what do with myself. I just want the baby to come already. What did I do in my free time before I was pregnant?? Last week, I was talking to my friend Mike whose wife is due this week and he was anxious too. But this morning I got a text from him and Showshan is in labor. It looks like baby Ting will be arriving today!

Poll

I finally upgraded the software for my blog and now I can create polls on this page. If you scroll to the bottom of the right hand sidebar, you will see a poll I’ve created. When do you think the baby will come?

Braxton Hicks?

debbie_ka — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 03:44:24 +0000

Every night when I wake up to go the bathroom, my belly has been hard and tight. I figured it was just tightening up because the baby was kicking or something. But in the past two days, the tightening has been happening very often. It doesn’t hurt so I didn’t think anything of it but I finally looked it up and I think it is Braxton Hicks contractions. “It is a tightening of the uterine muscles for one to two minutes and is thought to be an aid to the body in its preparation for birth.” I guess my body is getting ready….
