34 weeks

I was cooking dinner for Daniel before he went to work, and he took this picture.

Going to the doctors twice a week now isn't bad... Trying to find time to go all the time is hard. But it's cool to see Noah on the ultrasound twice a week.

Noah is getting bigger now, and I can tell by his movements. Last night when I went to bed he started his nightly routine of keeping me up for 20 mins or hiccups and then 30 mins of squirming. I put my hand on the side of my belly and I could feel either a knee or an elbow move right across my belly several times. It was cute.

Daniel and I are taking the same computer class. I am taking mine online and Daniel is taking his on campus. Except Daniel has no real schedule and can finish his class as fast as he wants, and class attendance isn't required. I on the other hand can only work 2 weeks ahead (which should be enough). Looks like I signed up for the wrong class!!

33 Weeks

Getting bigger little by little!

So I've been seeing the doctor twice a week. And even though my blood pressure has been 'decent' the only thing they've been getting after me is my weight. I'm not gaining. I lost 5lbs after the hospital, and then I haven't gained a lbs back. I keep getting asked "Are you eating?!" and my answer is always "YES!" I swear I eat too much. I don't know what's wrong with me. But the ultrasounds are saying that Noah is healthy. I hope he's gaining weight. He was so little when I went into the hospital.

And I asked my doctor last week what the chances were of him coming early, and his response was "we're just shooting for 37 weeks at this point." Oh how comforting Doctor! It'll be ok, that's only 3 weeks early. But that's also only 4 weeks away.

Right now Noah's favorite things to do is crowed my ribs (which makes it hard to breathe!) or punch my hip bone! I'm told that will go away when he drops... but then he's going to be so low that will be causing other problems... I would assume. Haha

Week 33

It's amazing how so much can change in a week. Last time I wrote I had just gotten out of the hospital. I am still on bed rest (will be for the rest of the pregnancy) but things are going so well right now.

Last Monday my mom and kid brother Jason drove down from Marysville, WA to spend the week with Daniel and I. Jason got to hang out with Daniel, and my mom helped me clean and organize my house. We were able to get rid of so much and the trailer is so much nicer now.

When we first moved in to the trailer the water heater was busted and was spraying water all over under the house, soaking the insulation and making our trailer damp and moist... causing mold to grow. I was so sick with the pregnancy, and Daniel worked full time and was going to school full time too, we just couldn't get this nasty trailer decent. But then my mom got here and saved the day, so to speak... it was more like saved our lives!!

I now can spend my time like I'm supposed to be, with my feet up. I'm thinking I need to take on some more sewing projects because I've got a whole lot of nothing to do now that I have a spotless house and no more homework!! It's a little weird having nothing to procrastinate!!!

I am going to the doctors twice a week now to make sure that my blood pressure isn't affecting Noah. And so far they say it isn't. He's probably going to be a little small when he's born, but now that his lungs are developed they say that he's right on schedule and doing really good. It's really cool to see him on the ultrasounds so often now. We even got a picture of him sucking his thumb. It's hard to see because I took a picture of it with my phone from off my fridge.
