Hello!
Well..as the title of this blog states, we have picked a name! Molly Addison Heath. :) We love it and it's so cute when Alyson says it.
Things are going well with the pregnancy. It's been about a month since my car accident. I've had 3 physical therapy appointments for my neck and it's gotten better...I won't have to go back now unless it flares up again.
Today, I had a slew of things to do at the doctor. I had to do my diabetes test..which you have to drink this awful soda stuff..yuck! Then, they draw your blood after an hour. I passed the 12 week one so I'm hopeful for this one to turn out well! (5/21-I just learned I passed!!) Then, I had to go to the doc for my 28 week check-up. I am still measuring at about 29-30 weeks...I believe that Molly is going to be pretty big...I'm attaching a picture of me at 26-27 weeks...I'm getting bigger by the day! After my appointment, I went back to the lab to get the blood drawn and then back to the office to get the Rogam shot in my bootie! Ouch! I am RH-...which basically means that if my blood gets mixed with the baby's blood, it could cause a lot of problems.
I've gained too much weight...according to the doctor. I've gained 29 lbs. and according to the guidelines, they only wanted me to gain 20-25 lbs. total...HA! I pack it on and I"m eating well and drinking my water, but my body just likes to hold on to it. Even if I gain another 20 lbs. in the last 2 1/2 months that are left, I'll still be 30 lbs. LESS than I was when I went into labor with Alyson. So, I'm not really concerned about it...my blood pressure is fine and Molly is growing properly. What this will mean, however, is that if Molly is going to be as big or bigger than Alyson...it looks like I'm headed down the C-section path again-which I was trying to avoid..I really wanted to try for the VBAC....but the ultimate result is to have a healthy baby and mama...:)
This weekend, we are taking a family trip!!! We are leaving tomorrow morning for Lake Tahoe and staying until Sunday!! We can't wait! Probably our last relaxing weekend for awhile before Molly arrives. (5/21-We had an amazing time!!!)
Hope all is well!
