Thanksgiving

This year we went to Thanksgiving at Rob's parents house. It was nice to see everyone and they all helped out so much with Abby. I appreciate all of your help with this pregnancy. It has been a rough ride, but it will be over soon. Anyway back to Thanksgiving, We had delicious food and pies. I have been wanting pumpkin pie for a while now and I have finally had some. It was great too!! Rob took some pictures while we were at his parents house.

Pregnancy update

Well they scheduled an induce date for Monday, December 1st.
We had another episode of false labor Thanksgiving morning. I was having contractions 5 minutes apart while at the hospital and measuring pretty intense. They checked me twice and I didn't dilate at all, I was still 1 centimeter. So of course as soon as I heard that I started to cry. These contractions are super painful. I know that labor hurts but it's just frustrating that it starts and nothing happens. At least they stop and go away for a few days. This time they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home. I was out of it the whole day on Thanksgiving. I felt so week and disoriented. Hopefully I don't have to go through that again with out it being real labor. My mucus plug did fall out. I keep getting chunks of it. I had some Yesterday and today. Well that is all for the update.

What???

So I wasn't going to post a blog about this until we find out what the Doctor has decided to do but I am still shocked about what happened.
So I had another ultrasound on Wednesday, because a Parinatologist has to be the one to say yes induce her (sense I am 2 and a half weeks before my due date). The ultrasound went great other then being in horrible pain because Megan was fighting back, pushing her but up as far as she could. When she finished Rob asked the ultrasound tech how much the baby is weighting. She said, " This is give our take a pound, she weights 9 and a half pounds." my heart sunk. That is a huge baby for being still 2 and a half weeks before my due date.
I thought for sure they will induce me as soon as they can because of how big she is already. We had to wait for the Parinatologist to come in and talk to us. Basically, after asking her what she was going to recomend to my Doctor. She said that she was going to tell him to do a cervix test and basically see if I can go into laber on my own. That is all I know right now. I am a little concerned because babies grow a half a pound a week. So she is only going to get bigger. My dr just said after an email I sent him that we will discuss it on Monday. So we wait again.

SURPRISE!

So some of my friends in my ward had a surprise baby shower for me. They did it while my sister Misty was in town. We had planned to go and walk around the mall on Thursday morning. So Misty offered to do my hair for me. I thought, oh how nice that is that she would be willing to do that. Really what was going on was I was going to be late for a baby shower that I didn't know was happening. I ended up being 20 minutes late to it because I drug my feet getting ready. Well here are some pictures of the shower. I appreciate Haylee Shurter for doing this for me. Also for all those who came. It was a very nice surprise. Thank You!

Pregnancy update

Well, I had my ultrasound today and baby Megan is measuring 2 and a half weeks farther along then my due date says. I will not know what they will do about my due date until next Tuesday because they have to have a radiologist look at it and those results wont be back until Friday. Then my appointment with my Dr is on Tuesday. Well that is about all for the update

Breakdown of the pictures in the slide show:

• 3 pictures of Abby very pleased with the art work she had created.

• A picture of me reading to Abby.

• A picture of Abby reading a book that I had just put down. She grabbed it and read it inside of a broken piece of furniture.

• 3 pictures of Abby helping me clean the house.

• One of her sleeping under her bed. Rob went and checked on her one night after we had put her to bed and he couldn't find her. So he started looking in our room and other rooms upstairs. He finally found her sleeping under her bed. How that happened, we have no idea.

• There are some of her playing with her friend Ellie.

• A picture of Abby's new snow hat. Now that it is actually cold enough for her to need one she will let me put one on her.

Trick or Treat

I was having trouble just posting these pictures so I put them on Rob's website.

I took Abby around on Halloween to go trick or treating. It was fun! For the most part she just stared in confusion as people would hand her candy. Then I friend of mine started to trick or treat with her kids so Abby did a few doors with one of her friends Ellie. Abby now wants to be a princess every day. she says "Abby princess?" It is very cute.

Pregnancy update

Well I had my first weekly appointment yesterday and he is measuring me almost three weeks farther along. So next Tuesday they are doing an ultrasound to see if I am farther along. If so they will be moving my due date up. I was super excited when he told me that. This same thing happened at the end of my pregnancy with Abby. When I was 38 weeks she was measuring 41 weeks. They did an ultrasound and it actually said that she was not as far along and that she weighed around 6 pounds. I delivered Abby ab
out 5 days later and she was 8 pounds 6 ounces. She also didn't have any of the white stuff, I can't remember what it is called, that babies have on them when they are first born. My doctor told me that it was a sign of being overdue for her to not have that anymore. So it will be interesting to see what happens this time. I am just hoping they move my due date up. I am so tired of being pregnant right now. But I only want to have if she will be fine coming out sooner then later.
