Fridays Apt

Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Philippians 4:6

I keep trying to keep this verse in my head, but it sure is heard.

Through out this pregnancy I have always felt BIG, much bigger then my last two pregnancies, I have kept saying to myself it is just because it is my third baby. Each time at the Dr. I have been measuring a little bit bigger but only by one or two weeks nothing to really worry about. On Monday I had an Ultrasound to see how big the baby was due to measuring a little big each time. Baby looked great he was measuring about 34 weeks 3 days, I was technically 32 weeks 2 days so a little big but nothing to be concerned about. The ultra sound tech kept saying how wonderful everything looked.

Move ahead to Friday at my Dr. apt. I get there about 1:15 for my 1:30 apt. thinking maybe if I get here a little early I can be seen a little early and we can get on the road to head to mom and dads. Not the case, they pass by me. After a girl checks in saying that her apt is at 2:15 and she gets called back before me I go ask the desk, they then get me right in.

Normal procedure pee in a cup, get weighed check babys heart rate and my Blood pressure, everything looks great! Then she goes to measure my fundal height, she measures it once, measures it twice, and then measures it for a third time... Then she asks you are 32 weeks right. I say yes. I say why, she says well I have you measuring at 40 weeks. WOW 40 weeks... That means between Monday and Friday the little man grew 7 weeks worth. The Dr. then comes in and double checks the measurement and he says its measuring 40 weeks but he can push it back to 37 whatever that means. He then begins to go over the Ultra sound and discovers that my amniotic fluid is elevated. Not too much but still enough to be concerned about. One cause of this could be gestestational Diabetes, I passed my one hour Glucose test with Flying colors, I'm not exactly sure what the numbers were but they were great. So to help rule that out I go Tuesday to take the 3 hour test, just to make sure that isn't it. They will also run some extra tests on the blood to check things out. I then will go back to the Dr. Every Friday for a Non Stress test and more measurements to see whats going on and for another ultra sound on the 1st of November.

I have found Google to be my enemy. So now I am just trying to worry about nothing and pray about everything. But man it sure is hard.

And while I was being so Domestic, Sitting on the floor of my craft room thinking about how I wish I knew more little girs so I could make cute girly clothes, and thinking about how I hope that Addison gets invited to some birthday parties soon because it would be super cute to make tutus as gifts. My kids were playing ever so nicely together.... or so I thought.

This is why the rest of the house always "looks" put together.

Baby/ Zions room

We have finally gotten Zion and the babys room almost ready, just a few minor things to do.
Zions side of the room. Yes the guy has some blankets, he just chooses to use only one.

Door View. Im contemplating painting a mural of a VW Bus on that wall but havent decided yet. Hopefully my Sister in Law Kari will make us another door sign too.

Rocking Chair side. We are looking for a lamp or small light to put by the chair so I can see at night but not bright enoug to wake Zion up.

Babys Bed I made all of the crib stuff when it was Zions bed, however Zion did a number on it so I had to take it all apart and remake it. I still have to dye a sheet to match. The empty spot above his bed is for his name.

And the long awaited name is...

Wait who put those balls on my letters?

Zion is Stressed!

So Zion has been the best sleeper any mom could ever ask for. He would go to bed at 7 and not wake up until 8 the next day. Up until about about a month ago he was still taking a morning and an afternoon nap. I started weeding out the morning nap so he would just take an afternoon nap. He was doing great with it until the end of last week, and then all hell has broken loose. He is refuseing to take any nap at all, just wants to cuddel with me, if he happens to fall asleep while on my chest, he wakes up as soon as I get up to lay him down. At night he will not lay down at all. Screams, kicks, climbs out of bed. Blah blah blah. He yells No Night night mama no night night please no night night. I will finally get him up after the 134352 time of laying him back down bring him out and rock him to sleep, he will fall asleep on my chest but again as soon as I get up to put him in bed, hes up. So today I finally broke down and took him to the Dr. to make sure he didn't have something medically wrong with him. Ears, Teeth, throat... etc. Nope everything is GREAT. She said that he is just super stressed? Oh the stresses of being 2? Having mom wait on you hand and foot, having mom all to yourself everyday from 8-11, going to the park and story time with just mom. Its such a rough life. So we are trying to ease his stress, Im not really sure how. She suggested we try benadryl and warm milk before we try to lay him down at night. So we are trying it. Hopefully it works. This is one tired mama, After being use to him sleeping 12-14 hours a night down to 5 really wears down this prego lady
