Baby Sadie

I was informed that I needed more pictures on the site and I thought that I had to wait till she was born. I didn’t think of doing some pictures of her room until my aunt Pam suggested it so here they are for you all to see. Enjoy!!

I thought attempting to work for the next four days was a good idea. Apparently Sadie was not interested in having me standing all day because after 2 1/2 hours the blood pressure was up with that blinding headache and swollen ankles. I called my boss and she is so awesome and understanding so my little shift today was my last. I am gonna miss work but this whole experience is going to be so new and different that I think I will love being a mom. I`m completely addicted to watching baby story. It scares me a little but I am so excited I can’t stand it. I bought a new book called The happiest baby on the block. Ive read about 15 pages and it seems great so far. I can actually take my time cleaning the rest of the house and maybe read a few books and do a puzzle and generally just relax. OMG what am I gonna do with all this time??!! I know update everyone on this website I will let you all know how many times and at what time specifically I am peeing LOL kidding…. Thats my latest update for today. Yay for being off work and thank god for understanding bosses. Thanks Chris. I will bring the baby in to visit and after I have her I will call you all and let you know what room I’m in so you can come visit.

I had my eightieth doctors appointment today lol. The ultrasound says that Sadie is still in the head down position and ready to come. Her practice breathing is good and the amniotic fluid is right where its supposed to be. The doctors decided to put me off work 2 weeks early due to some higher than normal blood pressure. I have bloodwork to get and appointments and ultrasounds weekly now. I will be 34 weeks this Sunday so I think I did pretty well for working. I am pretty relieved to be going off though. I still have to clean the house as much as I can and get the car cleaned out and install the car seat. I will probably do that Monday. Will update more as it comes.

So after work last night I noticed my feet and ankles were really swollen and it made me really worried because of toxemia and pre-eclampsia and seeing as I have a history with blood clots I didn’t want to take chances so at 11 pm last night I headed in to the hospital. I didn’t bring anything with me because I wasn’t expecting them to keep me overnight. But they surprised me. They kept me so that they could get me into ultrasound first thing this morning. I didn’t bring anything like pajamas and was oh so uncomfortable in hospital wear. Thank god we have good insurance and I didn’t have to share a room. Anyways, point is the baby is perfect and the ultrasound was negative but it’s better safe than sorry. I was only there for about 12 hours all together.

Goodnight

Oh my gosh the people that came out today to see us and Michelle for hosting such a great shower. I can not even thank everyone enough for everything today. The gifts were amazing and I will take some pictures of some of the things I got for the baby. I’m glad we got the gifts for her but I was more excited to see everyone. Especially Michelle and April. I love you all for making me feel so loved and I can’t wait to bring the baby for a visit.

I am trying again to upload the ultrasound picture onto a post on the main page so hopefully it works.

Goodnight

I had an ultrasound on Tuesday March 10th. They checked for “practice breathing” , if she pushed back when they pushed her and the amount of amniotic fluid around her. Everything was perfect. Bloodwork has been good. Just had one little scare with the spotting about a month ago. I will post the ultrasound picture on here as soon as I can get it uploaded. We have a scanner now so that makes life easier. On a different note, Sadie has decided that my bladder is her new trampoline and Im up about 6 times a night to pee. She moves alot during the night and its such a cool feeling to have a person inside you moving around. It still reminds me of Alien though. Well Thats all for now.

Oh and 17 more days of work and counting
