Week 24 - March 28, 2007

Quick post - went to the Dr. on Monday and all is still moving along. Per the ultrasound last week or the week before we are still on track for a July 18th due date. All looked good in the pictures and they aren't sending me back for another sonogram for a profile of the face (even though they didn't get a good picture the 1st time!) Have to do the fun glucose test on 4/23 so hopefully that test turns out ok. The nurse told me after the next 2 appointments, I'll be moving to bi-weekly appointments - wow, that brought a dose of reality meaning that July is going to be here before we know it!

My mom and I will be heading out on Sat. to finish up my registry - wish me luck :) (This is a bit stressful!)

I'm blogging from Asheville, NC tonight - in town for client meetings for our Asheville CVB client (www.ExploreAsheville.com - check out some of our good work :) And the eating is fantastic down here! We had an awesome dinner and I can't wait to eat tomorrow - ha ha!

Week 24 - March 22, 2007

So, I was thinking about writing my blog entry to say what an exhausting week it's been. I just couldn't seem to catch up on enough rest....then tonight was just the icing on the cake. My car broke down (no worries, I was in a safe place). BUT it could have been a nightmare because I did my normal hour commute home on an apparently broken tire arm which kind of means I had no steering ability in my right front tire. I pulled out of the office around 5 to get to my 6:30 hair cut appt. and heard a kind of crack when I made hard right turn. Not good. So then I had to make another right hand, heard the crack again and had a hell of a time straightening my car out. By that point, I was almost on the parkway and really had no where to pull over so I held my breath and decided to go for it and see if I could make it home. I honestly had to have had an angel watching over me today. I made it thru the hour drive by holding onto the steering wheel pretty tight for an hr and going pretty slow. So I pulled into Shear Magic and that's where the tire arm apparently just broke. So my card was stuck in the middle of the parking lot at the hair salon but luckily I wasn't blocking any other customers in. I was the talk of the salon. Dave met me there about 15 min. later and we called a tow truck to take the Sebring away :( Quite a sad moment to see your car on that flatbed, but hopefully it will be ok. The tow truck guy really wanted to know how I got from Pittsburgh to Greensburg - I told him I had my angel w/ me :) And not to leave anything out, I slipped going down the stairs this morning because my freakin' shoes are like slippers on the bottom! I managed to stay upright and catch myself on the underside of my right arm...I've got a nice bruise there. So all of that being said, I'm ready for this week to be over. The baby has been keeping me awake at night - he/she is an active little bugger :) But that is also a comforting sign that all is going well so that's the good news for this week.

Lastly, I just saw a commercial for the new 2008 Dodge Avenger http://www.dodge.com/en/avenger/index.html
(for those of you that don't know, the Avenger was my first car and I loved it!) so maybe I'll look into getting a pretty metallic red new car and be a really cool new mom :) This is my way of making myself feel better right now - lol!

Week 22 - March 12, 2007

Exciting stuff last night - the baby was moving around like crazy. Dave was even able to feel him/her moving. Must have been all the sugar I ate yesterday :) I have noticed more movement in the evening for sure.

As promised, I am finally posting a picture of me - not a whole lot to see..you can tell the belly is growing (along w/ the butt!) Enjoy :)

Week 22 - March 11, 2007

Went to the dr. on Monday for the sonogram - it was amazing! They show you so much about the baby. Dave and I had no idea what all we were going to see - we saw all 4 ventricles of the heart, stomach, heart, all the bones in the hands and feet, arms bones, leg bones (and I'm sure I'm forgetting something!) They weren't able to get a good profile because Baby B wasn't moving the right way to get a pic taken!

As some of you know, my friend Brandy and I have due dates about a week apart and I finally saw her last night for the first time since Christmas. After seeing how much she's showing vs. how much I'm not, we're thinking she's further along and I'm not as far as they think...gotta love how we self diagnose :)

On another note, went to see Jamie and Andrea's new house on Fri. night - wow...it's beautiful! It's fun to see how excited they are for the new big house.

Week 21 - March 1, 2007

Can't believe it's March already, but I am definitley ready for spring. I was traveling yesterday and was in Charlotte, NC and it was 65 and sunny. I want to move there :)

Nothing too new to report...have my sonogram scheduled on Mon. morning (3/5) so Dave and I are looking forward to that! I've worn 2 pairs of maternity pants so far - they just feel so weird. Granted, they are much more comfortable than regular pants at this point but it's still strange. The jeans I bought may be too big but I just know I'll be growing into them.
