27 Week Belly Picture


I am feeling much stronger movements lately. The newest symptom I am experiencing is acid reflux. I have never had this before and didn't know what it felt like. It's not a whole lot of fun but I have found that Pepcid AC takes care of it pretty quick. I have also noticed that as she is moving up I am starting to get a lot more out of breath and moving around I am much slower!


Last weeks ultrasound showed that she was right on track with weight at 2.1 pounds so I assume that she is slightly heavier now. The books say she is almost 10 inches long! We go to the doctor again for our regular check up on Wednesday and that is when I will have the glucose tolerance test too.

Made it through a tough week...

I am feeling much better after a long week. Wednesday night we had a little bit of a scare. I woke up from the couch when Tom got home from work to go to bed. I went to the bathroom and I had a little bleeding. It wasn't much but enough to make me worry. I called the after hours number for the doctor and they had us go into Labor and Delivery at the hospital to get "checked out". It turned out that the "bleeding" had stopped by then and on exam I had not started dialating. I was hooked up to monitors and the baby's heart rate was perfect but I was having a little bit of uterine activity that they thought may be associated to dehydration although, I feel I have been drinking plenty of water. So they still don't know why I was bleeding they gave me two doses of steroids, 24 hours apart, and I also had an ultrasound on Thursday which showed that everything was functioning normally. It wasn't until Thursday night that I knew that everything was okay and they released me to go back to work. Tom and I were pretty stressed out and very tired from lack of sleep but now are very relieved to know that everything is fine. I just have to be EXTRA careful, which I have been. Everyone at work knows what happened and have been extremely helpful to make sure that I am not doing too much. We are very grateful that everything turned out okay!!



Our Pretty Puppies!!
We had a nice weekend. Yesterday I had a soccer game to go to and Tom stayed home and had a "catch up on rest day" We met in the afternoon and went shoe shopping then sat by a fire and had dinner last night while we watched "The Biggest Loser". We slept in this morning and I got up and made Tom a nice biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs breakfast. Tom then helped me clean the house. He did all the hard stuff and I folded laundry. Tom spent the rest of the afternoon working on his homework for his internship and night class.

After Tom finished his homework we headed out for dinner. Since we have moved here we have heard that before you leave Nashville you have to eat at the Loveless Cafe. Since we like to do "historical and scenic things" we decided this weekend would be the weekend for the Loveless. I forgot my camera so you don't get any pictures of the place unless we end up going there again. It was a great place to eat; very traditional Southern Home Cookin'. They gave us way more than our share of food and the best homemade biscuits and preserves.

We plan on spending the rest of the night vegged out on the couch watching the Bears game. Go Bears!!!
