Time

My life seems to be flying by these days. I remember at the beginning of my pregnancy, since i found out so early(4 weeks), the time passed so slow the turtles lapped me a few times. Now... I cant quite seem to hold on to the time. It has become very apparent my son is going to grow up very fast. It seems like just yesterday I was 20 weeks and finding out I was having a boy now in less than a week I will be 30 weeks with just ten short weeks left to go. God is so amazing the miracle of a pregnancy the blessing of birth. I still cant seem to fully wrap my head around just how blessed I am. Every Moment i feel my little peanut kick is like a little burst of miracle inside my stomach. To go from being told I CAN NOT HAVE KIDS to the blessing of being just 10 weeks away from giving birth... Words just cant explain!

On another note I had my 29 week appointment and got a TON of news.
- I don't have gestational diabetes which is GREAT NEWS since my mom and grandmother have diabetes and having gestational diabetes increases your risk of having diabetes later in life and I am already at high risk so I am feeling so blessed.
- My belly is measuring two weeks ahead for two reasons that DO NOT CHANGE MY DUE DATE. One being I have A LOT of amniotic fluid but not enough to worry about(good news) and my son is measuring in the 80% for his age the radiologist and my doctor believe because i was an almost 9 pound baby and Jacques was a 9 pound baby so our baby will probably be big(they think 8 pounds) So this is good. I really did not want the due date to change. They were thinking for a little bit sept. 30th and I just feel more content with Oct. 13th, and am so very very glad that my due date is staying the same!
- My doctor, Jacques, and I decided my birth control plan of action after the baby that should last 1 1/2-3 years until we are ready for our second child.
- My doctor wants me to start doing kick counts which i HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE who is at least 28 weeks and she wants me to try to keep track of when I think he wakes up through out the day.
- Start my birth plan.
AHHH SO MUCH TO DO! It seems like it was a busy day because my day was spent thinking about all of this information! Especially the 8 pound baby thing. I am not scared but I am defiantly just praying and believing that I will be able to deliver the baby and NOT have a C-Section. It means the world to me to actually deliver the baby!
Lastly I hope everyone and anyone out there has a very blessed week and I hope I can stop thinking for a little bit and just relax with my love and my moving belly!
Peanuts awake time today: 8am, 11:05, 2:15pm, 5:00, 8:34, 11:30... <3

Officially 29 Weeks

Oh I love Tuesdays! Simply for the fact that it’s my change over date. Knowing that every Tuesday as I awake in the morning my life is slightly changing as it creeps closer to the date of my sons delivery I cant help but have a oversized smile on my face! Only eleven more weeks. Before I was pregnant eleven weeks seemed like an eternity in fact even in the beginning of my pregnancy anything more than a weeks seemed to drag on. Now, however, the time fly’s so fast the wind has trouble keeping up! Never have I been more excited for a single event in my whole entire life! Words will never explain the excitement I feel.
A lot of my friends keep asking if I am nervous or scared and for some reason I am not. Not of labor and delivery... Not of being a mom for the first time... NONE of it. Perhaps its because I pretty much raised my 3 little sisters while my parents worked hard or maybe it was because half of my life my mother did daycare and My afternoons home from school were spent helping her. It could even be that Gods plan for my life was always to be a mother. I am not sure. What I am sure of is that I am not nervous or scared and for that I feel blessed!

I was looking at ultrasounds from a few weeks ago and It made me so uncontrollably excited for my 4d ultrasound next Tuesday. Even though I know On the screen we are going to see a little Jacques and pretty much no features from me. Since the regular ultrasound already made that overly clear, but I am okay with that He can look as much like his daddy as God intended I just love seeing him I fall in love over and over again.
Lastly I would just like to say once again How IN LOVE I am my pregnancy photos It was such a blessing to be able to have them done. I believe anyone that is capable of having pregnancy photos done should. It is something I know I will treasure forever. Also IF you live where I do... Have Elizabeth Dahl do them. She truly has a gift!

11 weeks 1 Day Left

I am so excited to be 29 weeks. It feels so good to know that in just eleven weeks and one day I will be able to hold my son in my arms. I found out today that he is indeed measuring a little big about a week bigger than he should but the doctor and the radiologist don’t believe that my due date should be changed they both agree that since Jacques and I both were almost 9 pound babies that chances are he is just going to be a little big. Also I found out the other reason my stomach was reading a little big is because I have ALOT of amniotic fluid. Not enough to where they are concerned but enough to put me in the 95 percentile! As of right now None of that really matters all that matters is my Son is VERY healthy. I cant wait until next Tuesday because not only will I be 30 weeks and there is only 10 weeks left after that but I also have my 3d/4d ultrasound which I have really been looking forward to!!! : )
