32 Weeks (8 Months)

32 weeks---I think that is 8 months-ish, right?

HB:  140s, this is the LOWEST one yet.  Rhema is trying to keep us guessing on gender!

BP: 116/65

Position:  Baby is most definitely head down.  Obviously position can change but I start to be interested in positioning now.  It is also very very low which makes my fundal height weird.  Check out the comparison pictures below, you can tell this one is lower.

Braxton Hicks:  Been having A LOT of these; I never had ANY with the other two!

Hows Mommy:  The GER is passing, I think its all related to positioning.  My running is really slowing down even though I keep it low impact so I am aiming for time not distance.  I usually make about 2.5-3 miles a couple times a week.

My Rhema:  You are so loved already!!!!  Your brother and sister are ready to cover you in snuggles and hugs.  Mommy is ready to swaddle you up tight!!!  You are truly a special, special gift that we cannot believe that God gave us.  I hope your name and your life and the way you are loved and the way YOU love displays Christ always----because that is where you came from.  Admittedly I also day dream about what you will look like and if you will look as much like Caleb and Addison as they look like each other!  Will your eyes be hazel like Addison or brown like Caleb?  Will you NEVER grow hair like the others?  Will you be a boy or a girl?  Will you have Addison's giving heart?  Will you have Caleb's charm?  Will you be a big ole roly poly like the others or a petite perfect princess?  Will you be evicted from me like the others or cause some excitement??  I am not wishing this special time you and I have together while I am pregnant, but---I want you to know, we are excited to meet you!

Drums in our future?

Matthew said he wanted a drummer in out family---will it be Caleb?

30 weeks!!!!!

I did an update after my appointment last week so not much else to say other than indigestion has hit and hit hard :/  I eat as much as a banana and it feels likes it in my throat!  Hopefully its just Rhemas position and it will pass.  Otherwise the URI has really improved and we are working on the baby room!!!!!  FUN!!!

The kids wanted to join in!

29 Weeks 2 Days

I went to the doctor yesterday and while this isn't one of my official tummy pictures or posts I thought I would update!

Heartbeat: 160-170 (GIRL??!)

BP: 110/80

Weight:  Not looking anymore, but they said it was good.

Fundal:  30, which is a little big

Position:  Head down....for now

Glucose:  This was the interesting part.  They treat for gestational diabetes at 140 and although they do not medically treat you for a low score they want you to eat every two hours if you are 70 or below.  I was 72.  I was shocked and surprised.  Which OF COURSE made me immediately start to wonder if Rhema is a tiny little thing.  It would be the most random and very remote mixture of genetics if Rhema was small.  I am not sure why small babies scare me but they do!  I suppose two almost ten babies makes you only know chubby, sturdy babies!  This information coupled with the fact that I never have a big tummy---makes me a little self conscious and paranoid about the size of this babe.  At any rate, they said I need to eat more frequently.  Hopefully this makes Rhema grow and not other areas of my body like say.....my rear :)  No matter what it is worth it and I lost it all with the other two and so I will again!
Next appt:  I am supposed to start every two weeks, but I begged for every three and they said YES!!  So in three weeks we will be back to check on Rhema!

Hows Mommy:  Still been battling an URI.  I think the worst of it is over; there is just some coughing, chest congestion and a wicked headache left.  Hopefully it will be gone soon!

Not too much longer now!  Probably three months for me at 42 weeks---beginning of May!!!

I think my children are destined to be NINJAS, they know how to hide up in me!!! 

Winter Wonderland

I think it is supposed to be Spring soon, but not here in Nebraska...nope.  It is snowing.  Since it was "only" in the low 20s and high teens late this afternoon we bundled the kids up to play in the snow.  Bundling took 20 minutes and play lasted 15 minutes, what can you do?  It was worth it though!
