Baby B Update

I had my 36 week appointment today. I have been battling high blood pressure for the past few weeks and at times felt it could have been self induced. I wasn't feeling that great the last few days-I was having pretty severe headaches so I was taking it real easy. So when I went for my normal appointment I was told that my blood pressure was 138 over 95 (not good). They did a quick ultra sound and Baby B is still breach so they admitted me to the hospital to be monitored and have blood work done. Since I was already at the hospital they felt they should try the version. What a day! Marc and I had planned to go to the doctors appointment and then run errands-I guess this is the first lesson in parenthood-you must remain flexible!

They tried the version and the baby wouldn't move. He is happy where he is and if he decides to move he will do it in his own time. The doctor said he would be willing to try the version next week if baby was in a different position but if not we would need to schedule a c-section! I'm a little bummed about the c-section but it is out of my control and looking on the bright side I can pick a date (which works for my planning personality)! So if we end up with a c-section it will probably be around the 14th or 15 of March-which means only 2.5 weeks! Pregnancy has gone by so fast. They are going to monitor me pretty close because of my blood pressure to be sure it doesn't turn into full blown Preeclampsia. Right now I have been diagnosed with PIH (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension) Basically a fancy name for High Blood Pressure. So I will keep you updated on any news of Baby B's arrival but as of now things are looking around the 15th of March!

Windsor Shower

My Aunt Sharon hosted a beautiful baby shower for Boom Boom (that is what she calls Baby B) and myself and Saturday. I had the best time and enjoyed the yummy brunch as well as the great company. I had family come from near and far and really appreciated their effort to be there. We are so lucky to have such generous family and friends. Baby B is already so spoiled and he is not even here yet!


Here is my fun and crazy family enjoying Vodka Fizzes! Don't worry girls it won't be long and I will be enjoying them with you!

Doctors Appointment

I had my 35 week appointment today (I can't believe that I'm 35.5 weeks already). We had an ultra sound and baby looks good and healthy. The baby is still in the breach position. He has been breach for the past 3 weeks. So I need all the positive thoughts before next week because if he is still breach they will do a version (where they try and move him). I hear this is not very comfortable and I would prefer not to have to go through this. I will update you with a belly shot when Marc gets home to take a picture. The belly is growing by the day and I can't believe that Baby B is going to be here in a few weeks!

Fortuna Shower

My girlfriends gave me a baby shower in Fortuna a few weeks back. Everything was so nice and I had the best time. It was closest thing to my wedding day.....I just didn't want it to end. I had so much fun spending time with everyone and it was such a beautiful day.



Here is a belly shot I'm 30 weeks and Meghan is 26 weeks.

Stockton Shower

Well, I know it is about time I update my blog! We have had a very fun and busy January with getting ready for Baby B and attending a couple of showers. Below are pictures of the beautiful shower in Stockton. It was so much fun and everyone was so generous! My mom, Aunt Sharon and Grandma headed to Stockton for the day. We enjoyed great food, drinks and company! It was great to see family and friends that we don't get to see to often.
