Almost time

Ok I know I've been away, I've been nearing ALOT!! Cleaned and did laundry and also organizing! Lol so the plug is out....I haven't gained anymore weight at all still 25lbs:) yay me! Lol today I'm 38wks.... I'm 3cent dialated and about 50% effaced after being cked I started getting more contractions..... It's scary maybe he'll be here on his own!!!:) yay! The reason I say that is because if I don't have him I'll be induced, which trust me it hurts the reason is since I have gestational diabetes he's at risk to be toooo big which means I'll be at risk for a C section and so on:(

We have his bassinet and Oni bought his crib yesterday:) our bags are ready.... I don't have anything to keep me busy mainly because I know I'll be to excited to read or I'll be in pain! Lol my mom still calls me once a day to see how I feel and Oni just told me his co-wkers are betting as to when I'll have him! Haha it's funny and cute! If I don't go into labor tonight I'll post some pics especially of the crib of it's finished:) wish me Luck!

37wks and the changes

Well Im back! lol no baby yet.... my plug has come out though which means I can have him from now until next week. Since Im home I have been nesting, seriously I cant imagine not cleaning! I cleaned my windows screens and so on, washed all his 0-3cloths and blankets socks sheets and towels..I still cant see my home being clean........it is but Im still on a rampage! Im washing cloths towels and carpets from the bathroom WHY? IM BORED! I already have my bag ready his diaper bag is ready.. the car seat is in my car...so what now? I do feel small contractions, they are painful but they arent close enough or big enough =( waaaaaaa I have done whatever I can to naturally induce the labor.... nada.... just more pain.Im so nervous, I cant believe hes almost here. I feel like I just said I was pregnant and now hes on his way =) I dont have a crib yet that will come once hes big enough to be in his room , for nw hell be in our room. I do plan on breast feeding but Im scared because with the grls I wasnt able to stick to it . Im going to be on top of it though since I really want to try it.....I find myself just rubbing my belly and wondering "wow once day I wont have him there all for me anymore " and to be honest it does make me want to cry =( NO I dont want another right away! I actually dont want anymore, its been to difficult.....My inlaws are already cooking for us they brought over soup last night which was nice, my mom and sister keep calling to see if Im ok=) I do like the attention lol ..... its gone once hes here! another reason I want to clean so much is because once hes here I wont have time to clean and I know ppl will be over to meet him.... and I am one to be embarrssed if its a mess....=/ I know ppl understand but seriously I dont feel like that!! I NEED a clean home!! weird I know Oni says I have OCD! lol naaaa......... I will keep you updated....I have nothing to keep me busy =)

Lately I've been very busy, I will post picturers but Oni has my laptop and won't be back from his business trip until tonight:( lately I've been frustrated, I have gestational diabetes and no matter what I do my levels stay high in the afternoon!!! No always but enough that I now have to take a small pill:( ok so I took this pill an hr before I ate, ummm yea didn't help!!!! It's the highest ever!!! Ahhhhh!!160 is not ok! I'm upset and want to just throw my arms in the air and cry and kick and scream. I know the dangers if it's not under control, would I prefer insulin???? Sadly, yes. Why? Wks quicker..... A pill takes longer to breakdown.... I will keep taking it but only becaue I'm determined to have it under control.... This really makes me think twice , before I wouldn't worry about getting diabetes.... Now that I have GD I'm more at risk than before.....it makes me realize I need to be extra careful..... I'm venting so I'm sorry, I've had a wonderful pregnancy and very few issues and had a great baby shower.... Just at this moment I needed to get my frustrations out thanks for listening I'll post more about the good things once I get my laptop:)

27,28 and more..........

At 27 weeks I feek sooo round =)


28 weeks..........hes starting to become more active...

Ok well I found out I have gestational diabetes =( I have been given advice from a friend who also has it but its also her 2nd time going through it, my first class is the 24th.........I have to admit its taken me time to realize its real... I never wouldve thought that I would have it, No Im not special and Im not someone who feels that I am immune its just that with the grls I always passed the 3hr test... I have fought sooo much to avoid diabetes and to control my cholesterol BEFORE pregnancy... so I thought Id be ok again....Oni did some researching and he told me it was unavoidable....

www.babycenter.com/0_gestational-diabetes_2058.bc

I know it will be hard but I know this is for him and Im willing to do what it takes...but I know hell be tested for it when hes born and also the fact that Im at risk for a C-Section..........AHHH!!

On a GOOD NOTE: Im getting the hang of his schedule... hes very active in the morning around when I get up.... then he seems to nap for about an hr to 2.... then hes up again he moves alot more! Oni hasnt been able to feel him but lately hes been able to feel him Gena even felt him..I want to be able to know his schedule before hes born, with the grls I learned every time Id get up to use the restroom is when they would also wake up at night...I cant wait I have been on an emotional roller coaster Im MORE moody!! ughh things bug me easily... poor grls..theyve been ok but Akira is open about it and tells me that I have been more moody..I tell her alot of things are going on and just ask her to behave....I wont tell her I have been to the hospital to that now I have GB, I dont want to concern her... she will get nervous and its not a burden I want her to carry.

Im excited that tomorrow we will get a tour of the hospital =) YAY! And now Im also offically in my 3rd trimester.... WOW!!! Never thought Id get there!! I have about 12 weeks left almost 11 because on Tuesday I will be 29 weeks =) OMG!! But funny how 11wks is about 2months and 3weeks but in reality your preg for almost 10mon!! But I feel hell be here before his due date =)Im excited also because in about 2 weeks is my shower!! woohoo! thanks for cking up on me =)

Trip to Triage

Ok sooo yesterday I was instructed to go to Triage at Mary Birch, its a well known hospital in San Diego the main reason isnt because its only for labor and delivery ( all 5 floors ) but also Childrens Hospital is near it incase your baby needs extra attention. Let me start from the beginning:

Around 2:04pm I was getting MANY Braxton Hicks.....and they werent leaving .... so at 2:30 I called my ob left a message with the nurse and waited. I got home and did the normal which is clean take the pups out and so on. I recieved a call from my Dr and she said if I was getting them 4-6 times in an hr to go to the hospital as a precautionary..UGHHHHHHHHH so I started counting........1......2......3....FREAK!! 4! I called Oni since he was still at wk... he came rushing even though I told him I was ok....as we were walking into the hospital I got another as we cked in another as I was explained how to fill out the questionare another! AND as I was put into the room for monitoring ANOTHER!! OK!! they cked my b/p and it was a tad high....119/82 (82 is high) I told the RN I had a "contraction" as I was in the room and she said she wasnt worried and shell reck it... well they hooked me up... I love hearing his heart! You can also hear him kicking and moving haha he was LOUD!

Anywho they did some testing.........painful testing.....ughh dont wanna talk about that....... but Oni held my hand through it he was sooo tired from wk and was also hungry never complained <3.... well I had about 3 within the hr I was there....she talked to the Dr on call and said I could go home! YAY! BUT to be on rest today (thurs) and not to do much...boooo... and what does Oni say " I tell her to just relax but she doesnt listen " um yea thanks babe! Ok I admit its hard to not do anything when : I have the grls the pups and to clean and cook...BUT he never complains when the house isnt spotless and understands the dogs cant be taken out to run around if I dont feel good he does that when he gets home...which is 8pm =(

So I will learn to not do much I did make the beds and mop.......Oni was here so he made sure I was ok I havent had any more B.H contractions.... YAY ME but was told if I had more than 4- 6 in and hr again to go in.... and if I DONT stop being on my feet all the time I will get bed rest....=( So I called in today... and all I need to do is get Gena at 1pm and get the car washed.....cooking is a maybe...

I will upload the 27wk picture soon!! thanks for cking up on me =)

25 / 26 and some testing

So far I feel good, tired ofcourse but like I have mentioned before appetite has been a minimum, a few weekends ago we went to Disneyland, all I ate was

am:decafe coffee 1 cup only
bananna
left over donut Gena picked at.threw away the rest didnt like it

lunch: chicken strips few fries and YUP sprite....

snack: cherries YUM!

pm: tried a burger.... tasted different it was good, but I wasnt super hungry I didnt finish the fries again lol

thats all and we walked ALOT....yes my feet hurt at the end but I DID my best to keep up! we went for Genas bday and with some family (mom sis hubby cousin Iris and her huby and baby Eddie and ofcourse Gena) .

Once I hit about 24-25 weeks this is what happens at the end of the day =(

SWOLLEN FEET


I asked my Dr and as long as my b/p is normal Im ok but MAN its uncomfortable! I elevate my feet at night avoid things with salt (hard but I try) drink tons of water and stay in the shade... I have started to wear sandles more because its hard to use tennis due to 1: tieing the shoe laces and 2: taking them OFF!! LOL yes its hard!


25 WEEKS


My belly is SOOOOOO round!! lol and it gets hard QUICK! its super uncomfortable walking for to long now, its at times painful because little man likes to lay on areas where the nervs get pinched =( and I waddle...sometimes




26 WEEKS



I walked into my 26 week appt...........gained 4lbs!! woohoo I say yay because last time it was 9! they told me I would gain alot during 6 months and up.... ;)

I also was surprised when I was walked into the room look what they handed me!

GLUCOSE TESTING ughhhhhh



I got called today, I FAILED !!!!! =( This normally happens with all my pregnancies but let me tell you IM NERVOUS...........Im dreading the 3hr I cant stand not eating for 3hrs and having to stay in the lab also it makes me sick... like ughhh I wanna vomit!! I hope and PRAY I pass it this time, I always do but its the waiting I cant stand I have an appt Sept 4 at 8:20 .. I have avoided the gestational diabetes all the time..........and I CANT help but to think " how long can I avoid it?" I eat ok, but I do crave starches which is a no no.......PRAY FOR ME! lol

I have bought a few outfits for my little man, sooooo excited! I will be 7months in 2 more weeks!! AHHHHHHHHHH............. Im not ready but yet I am!! I have been planning my shower and I started my baby registry online we will be adding to it this weekend =)
