-RANDOMS-

So, I was still breastfeeding Aaralyn, and noticed she didn't really have any interest in breastfeeding. She also wasn't having enough wet diapers. So, I figured out that my supply was dropping. I had had two periods since Aaralyn was born, and I figured that my milk supply issues were because my period was due again.

I finally bought some formula. After nursing Aaralyn I offered a bottle, and she drank two ounces. Right then I figured out that I was not producing enough for her. 

So, I started formula feeding her during the day while still breastfeeding at night. Within a week my milk was completely dried up.

I still had not gotten my period, but since I had only had two, I had no idea when it was due. The first two were 40 days apart, so according to that it wasn't late yet.

I took a test every month, just because I didn't get a period while breastfeeding for the first 7 months, so I wanted to make sure.

Sure enough, popped up pregnant. I was in complete shock, and so was Brian!!

We didn't tell anyone until I was 14 weeks. 

We were planning on waiting until I found out what we were having. 

So far, so good.

We had an ultrasound at 12 weeks to confirm due date because of  the irregular periods. 

My due date is November 2nd, but I'm thinking baby will be born October 22nd. 

Apparently I'm pregnant with Spideman.

Ultrasound yesterday.

My fluid levels are a little elevated. Normal levels are between 10 and 24 centimeters. My levels were 26. So, barely elevated.

The doctor kept going on about extra fluid being common with Gestational Diabetes. So finally, I was like, "When did I officially get diagnosed with GD?" I explained about throwing up during the 3 hour and that being the only reason I was tracking my sugars. So, she looked at my sugars and said that they looked really good, and that I don't meet the requirements to be considered Gestational Diabetic.. Like I knew.

So, she said that she's still suggesting I be placed on a diabetic diet.. Which is bull shit to me. I mean obviously I will do anything for this baby... But really. My sugar levels have been below what the doctor has wanted EVERY DAY. So, I don't see how going on a special diet is going to help since I don't have a problem with it. GR.

She said that having extra fluid has a ton of different causes. Sometimes they never figure out what causes it. The baby looked good. She had an estimated weight of 4 pounds 7 ounces. (Eeks!)

The doctor said that they wont let me go past 39 weeks. Having elevated fluid makes your chances of a stillbirth go up after 39 weeks. (By 1% she said.) So, this baby will be born no later than 39 weeks!! She asked if I went into labor on my own with Kayelynn, and I told her I had. So she said I will most likely do the same with this baby and I wont have to worry about being induced. Woohoo. 

Look at those big lips!

Soooo cute!

She has hair!! I can't wait to see her!

And, she's still a girl!

32 weeks.

• How far along?  32 weeks. 

• Total weight gain:  Still down 6 pounds.

• Maternity clothes?  Yes.

• Stretch marks? I have 2. :(

• Sleep:  It's not too bad. I wake up a lot more to pee, but I can normally go right back to sleep.

• Best moment this week:  Just feeling baby girl moving around.

• Miss Anything? Not really.

• Movement: So, so much! This baby never stays still.

• Food cravings: Anything food. It's all so good. Lol.

• Food aversions: Nothing really.

• Gender: Girl.

• Labor Signs: A few braxton hicks here and there. Nothing too bad.

• Symptoms: Heartburn 24/7. My back kills me unless I'm standing.

• Belly Button in or out? It's still in. It's really shallow now though. It's so weird because normally I have a really deep belly button.

• Wedding rings on or off? On.

• Looking forward to:  My ultrasound is tomorrow (The 2nd.) It's to check on the fluid levels. I'm really hoping that the levels are good and I'm excited to see little Miss again.

 

31 weeks!!

Sooo. I had a doctor's appointment today so the doctor could look over my blood sugar. I've been testing 4 times a day. When I wake up, and an hour after each meal. She said my sugar levels look really good, so I can go ahead and start testing every other day. I have an appointment on Thursday the second with Maternal Fetal Medicine so they can check my fluid levels. She said if my levels are normal, nothing happens. If they are still high, I have to start going to the doctor twice a week. On Monday's to see the OB and then on Thursdays to get an ultrasound to keep an eye on my fluid. So, I'm really hoping my levels have normalized! Other than that, I was measuring good and the baby's heart rate was good too. 

31 weeks. Eek! I am packing the baby's diaper bag for the hospital next week!! I can't wait. I have the baby's coming home outfit picked out, and I think I have her outfit for pictures picked out too. I'm getting so excited. I can't believe I'm getting so close! 

I have been feeling like crap. :( My back hurts - unless I'm standing. If I sit or lay down it kills me. Plus, I'm back to the point where I get nauseous if I'm hungry. I gained a few pounds!! I'm still down 8 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight though. Which isn't a bad thing. Lol. I have the worst heartburn ever too! This baby better have a ton of hair!! And, it also hurts when the baby moves now. She pokes out her knees and rolls, so I get kneed from one side to the other. 

And, some pictures.
