Reminder-- click above on the ExpectNet.com icon and guess Peanut’s Gender. There are other fun things like weight, time and date as well.
How far along?: 37wks 2days. I had Jace at 37wks3days. Nylin was 2 days late but we won’t even think about that.
Total weight gain: this week- 2 total pregnancy-31. The doctor thinks that Peanut gained about ½ lb and the other 1.5 is water. I was quite swollen. I cannot complain though. I have made it this far without swelling! That is good. With Jace and Nylin I swelled around 32 weeks.
Appointment update: Jason and Jace took me to my weekly appointment on Wednesday. They just love being able to hear Peanut’s heartbeat and I love that they can hear it. Peanut’s HB was steady at 140. That was just about the only normal thing that happened though.
They found a trace of protein in my urine, my HR was super high and my blood pressure was through the roof at 140/100. YIKES!
The doc thought it could have a lot to do with what has been going on around here this week. (Jason to the ER on Sunday, Jace surgery on Monday and then BACK to the ER with Jace on Tuesday night) When I got to my appt on Wednesday I had only had about 4 hours of sleep and I was worried about my boys).
The doctor loves me so much she let me come home to rest and monitor my BP myself. She could have sent me to the hospital and had me be monitored for 4+ hours. I am SO GLAD she let me come home. My BP is still high but not AS HIGH. If it goes over the previous numbers I have to call.
She also checked me and realized my mucous plug is gone. Gross I know. She also said that Peanut’s head was RIGHT THERE. I knew that. I have had to pee 1million plus times a day and I am feeling pressure. I am still dilated to 2 and she did not tell me about effacement.
She did tell me that she did not think I would make it to my 38 wk appt. You know that means I will go to 42 weeks right? LOL
Sleep: still sucks
Movement: A LOT!!
Gender: Surprise
Food cravings: Margarita’s
Labor signs: nothing worth while
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my little Peanut!
Next appointment: May 19th. I am not going to go though. I swear if I am still pregnant I am protesting. LOL just kidding. Sorta.

Checking In
I am just doing a quick check in. It has been a long crazy week around here and I have no energy to write a full post.
Basically- Jason landed himself in the ER on Sunday night. He is fine but it was stressful. AND Jace had his tonsils and adenoids removed on Monday. He is also fine, but again, it was stressul. And on top of all that, I am still pregnant. Of course I knew I would still be pregnant and I WANT to still be pregnant since I am not exactly full term (will be on Wednesday). BUT being pregnant and dealing with all this stress has been pretty crazy. I need sleep. I need Peanut to get here so I can sleep again :)
Anyways- we are still here and we are all doing fine! I will update with pictures and a bunch of awesome stories about my Mother's day weekend (that's right my husband gives me the whole weekend!). I hope to do that update on Wednesday.

Friday Funny
Conversation from last night:
Me: Honey I have a list of demands for before Peanut gets here.
Jason: ***very nervous*** Uh ok.
Me: Do you want to hear them?
Jason: Not really, this sounds expensive.
Me: It is not too bad, I promise.
Jason: OK
Me: Mexican, Chinese, Chic Fil-A and Fenton Bar and Grill trashed wings.
Jason: ***laughing*** ok honey. I will take care of your list of demands.
I love my husband.

36 Week Update
Reminder-- click above on the ExpectNet.com icon and guess Peanut’s Gender. There are other fun things like weight, time and date as well.
How far along?: 36w1d
Total weight gain: this week- 0 total pregnancy-29
Appointment update: My doc decided to check me today since I had an episode with contractions the other night.
The contractions actually did something this week! Not that this means a dang thing- except, this is less pregress I ened to make when I actually go into “real” labor.
I am 2CM dilated and 50% effaced. Peanut is still @ a -3 station though. The baby still has to come down A LOT.
Peanut’s growth:
Peanut is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. S/he now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. Peanut is now shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his/her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that covered and protected the skin during the nine-month amniotic bath. Peanut swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, resulting in a blackish mixture, called meconium, will form the contents of the first bowel movement.
At the end of this week, Peanut will be considered full-term.
Sleep: still sucks
Best moment of the week: spending the day with my little family at the park. Just watching my husband with my kids makes me so happy. He is such a great father. I just loved watching him push the babies on the swing and play Frisbee with Nylin. I can’t lie, I shed a little tear.
Worst moment of the week: waking up to bad contractions on Tuesday night. It is possible that I am having gallbladder issues as well. I have all the symptoms. Yuck.
Now I have to watch what I eat to avoid episodes. Who am I kidding? I am so not watching what I eat. I shall deal with the pain. This is my last pregnancy and I am going to eat, I mean live it up.
Movement: More rolling around this week. Not so many kicks and jabs anymore. A tale tell sign of running out of room!
Gender: Surprise
Food cravings: Margarita’s
Labor signs: lots of contractions
What I miss most: not getting tired from walking to the fridge.
What I'm looking forward to: Meeting my little Peanut!
Next appointment: May 12th.

Me=Proud Mommy!
I am so proud of Nylin.
She had her first soccer game of the season this past weekend and she did great!
They do not have official positions yet since she is still in the youngest group (4-6). They started off playing her as a forward and she is so good.
She scored 3 goals! 3!!!!!!!!! I was such a proud mama!!! This is the kid that can barely walk without tripping AND SHE SCORED THREE GOALS!!
Towards the end of the game they moved her back to defense. I was a little nervous since she has never played that position before. I was worried she would take the ball the way down the field and try to score. She didn't! She actually stayed in her little area and blocked the ball a few times.
Everyone (including me!) was high fiving her after the game and it was just awesome. She and I were both so excited! I think soccer runs in the blood! My little cousins (that really are not that little anymore!) are superstar soccer players. I wish they lived closer so they could teach Nylin more! Hopefully this summer they will get the chance to kick the ball around together.
