Nearly 25 weeks!

I feel like facebook is just really stealing this thunder here because I don't update based on the assumption everyone reads there... But I am going to try to update once a week here with a belly picture and that weeks information!

Vitals: 
Baby Heartbeat: Usually around 150
My weight gain so far 14.5 pounds
Uterus is measuring right on for my gestation.

I was planning on telling them I was declining the glucose test but stupidly let them chance my mind. I failed the 1 hour and had to endure the 4 sticks of the three hour but thankfully passed all four draws and I am glad to have that done with!

I am filling out paperwork now for a Doula here in town. I want to have that extra support in that moment!

I have been getting regular adjustments at the chiropractor and also massage which will hopefully keep any swelling at bay!

I am looking forward to giving birth in such a warm enviroment!

I feel like I don't blog here because I am always on Facebook

Soooo.

I am 22 weeks right now and all is going well. We have a baby boy on the ways. I have a midwife appointment Friday and I hope that all will stay well. I am planning on declining the GD tests..... so we will see how they do with that.

I have gained about 10 pounds so far and baby is starting to move like crazy! Love it!

I am going to the chiropractor every two weeks and also getting prenatal massage!

Ummm I suck

Well, I am a bad blogger!

Out of town threw me off and I haven't gotten back!

Anyhow I will try to work on an update!

Behold. Belly Picture

Bad blogger!

But I am 99% sure no one is reading this so it doesn't really matter!

Midwife appointment went great yesterday. Got to hear the baby and my body is in great health. She check my pelvis and said it was all perfect and should be ready to go! :) She thinks that I will easily be able to VBAC! Due to Tyler only be poorly positioned we should be able to do some work to make sure this baby starts off in a good position even prior to labor! We go back in one month to meet another midwife and also have an ultrasound next Friday!

Ultrasound went well

Baby measured two days ahead of where I guessed my O date was so we are officially due 4/16! Heartbeat was 100 and 117 the two times they took it.

We just had a wonderful meeting with the homebirth midwife. DH really liked her and has now totally switched his thinking. We go to the birth center thursday too and he said "unless we really love the place or the midwives or something I see us going with her... homebirth!" Total 180 from before.

She is totally like me. Wants to do things naturally if there is a way but her words exactly " i am not going to give you herbs or waive incense over you to stop a hemmorage, I have meds ready" ... she is just a lot like me. Very down to earth and just wonderful!

Yeah DH said " I was expecting some hippie etc" haha. I think he was not sure of what to expect and she is just a totally normal girl and she actually just ended up with a section 7 weeks ago after her planned homebirth... so she knows when to say when etc. But I think the fact that he knows we are going to get the same experience at the birth center and she is just as prepared etc. The birth center is about 5 minutes closer to the hospital. Its 5 minutes away and our house is 10.... so its still not FAR away etc.

I am going to talk with my OB just so I don't burn that bridge and let her know that while I love her ... its not what I want for my birth as long as it stays low risk. But if it doesn't I want to be able to go back to her because I like her.

I will still have my 12 and 20 week ultrasounds to make sure is all ok.

Happy Ultrasound day to meeeee.

I so could not sleep last night! Very excited/anxious this morning!

My morning sickness has also started and I of course want to eat nothing I can cook around the house, therefore we are having to go out. Oh well. It will be gone in 2 months ( I hope). I can delve into savings until then to avoid getting sick.

Is it monday yet???

Goodness. Time is going BACKWARDS!

I have defensive driving tomorrow and Sunday we are taking Tyler to Fiesta Texas so hopefully both days I will be nice and distracted!!
