Fall 2010 photos

C, 3 years old

27 weeks, 4 days!

Wow! 26 weeks!

It's been a while, and I thought I would get on here and let you know all is still well. I start my 2 week appointments next week, and am excited to also see another "picture" of Matthew in utero.

The boys are excited about being big brothers, and we are starting to prepare for our new addition.

I'll get a new "bump" picture up here soon.

I've been working on the boys scrapbooks lately. You can check those out on my facebook page if you haven't already. I'm excited to have both of them done since I'll have another one to start on soon. I also plan to get my wedding pictures scrapped, and all of our "family" picture taken after the boys were each a year old. I have a lot to catch up on.

I hope everyone is doing well. Drop me an email or contact me on facebook to chat. :)

21 week update

These updates seem to be getting further and further apart lately.  A lot has happened in the past couple weeks.  The big news is that we will be welcoming Matthew Gabriel Ozuna in November 2010.  He’s still charting bigger than average and kicking me from the inside like he wants out now.  I spent an afternoon in Labor and Delivery last week because I started getting braxton hicks contractions every 2-5 minutes if I was standing up.  The doctor has decided that these are not “doing” anything and that I need to rest when they occur.  I’ve also found that as long as I wear my maternity belt, it seems to be keeping me from having them.  I am still able to work out and play tennis, so that is wonderful.  In addition, we found out that his kidneys are slightly dilated, and so they are watching him via ultrasound to make sure that irons itself out.  I will be having at least 2 more ultrasounds because of this.  One at 28 weeks, and one more at 36 weeks.  On a positive note, I did find out that it seems my ovarian cysts have gone away. 

18 week update

Wow, 18 weeks pregnant already??  It’s going by sort of fast.  I can tell my body is going to start thinking that time is crawling though.  I’m constantly sore and tired and cannot sleep already.  YUCK. 

In other, not so whiny news, I have my ultrasound appointment for July 14.  If we can, we will get the ultrasound sooner…but right now, that’s as good as it gets. 

I’ve gained a total of 16 lbs. so far.  That’s much better than with my other two pregnancies.  My first pregnancy I had already gained 20 lbs., and with my second…I lost count.  It was much more.  The little bit of exercise that I’m getting and me being more aware of what goes in my body must be helping…at least a little. :) 

My doctor seems to think that because I carried sort of in the middle with both boys, and because of the size of my previous pregnancies, that this one will be carried REALLY LOW.  Apparently I will be quite uncomfortable.  Lovely.  Especially since I’m already unable to sleep because I get up 3-4 times to pee each night and try to find a more comfortable way to sleep that doesn’t make my shoulders, arms or legs fall asleep.  Looking forward to it.  REALLY. :-P

Oops…I went back to whining.  Sorry.

The baby’s heartbeat was at a strong, but elusive (due to all it’s movement) heartbeat in the 140’s this time.  That’s much more like my boys heartbeat.  I’m confident this is a boy, guys. :)  We shall see soon!
