Week #33
Baby is size of: Durian!-I don't know what the heck this is!..Oop, just googled: an oval spiny tropical fruit containing a creamy pulp. Despite its fetid smell, it is highly esteemed for its flavor.
Fun Fact: Baby girl is keeping her eyes open while she is a wake
Weight this week: 168.2
Change since last week-+ 1.8-I swear my belly is growing by the day!
Weight gain overall: 21.2
Symptoms: Braxton hick contractions-more and more, some nights I wake up for an hour and go back to sleep-however, I am still sleeping well overall, shortness of breath, very stiff if sitting too long in legs and hips, achiness in back, no longer spotting brown blood-thank goodness!, more clumsy-I feel like I drop everything!
Cravings: Bagels! I like half a bagel every morning now :). Dan and I picked up the baker's dozen from Panera last week and froze them. I also have my egg every morning!
Wedding!
Beck and Steve's wedding was this last weekend, September 28th. It was just beautiful! The rehearsal was at Champs and the food was very good. I had a Turkey wrap, Dan had a burger. Beck gave the bridesmaids different wine glasses with different phrases on them. Mine said "Mommy's Juice"-I'm very excited to use it! She also gave us our jewelry we would wear the day of. Dan was given a German beer mug with two German beers and a Best Buy Gift card. It was a nice time and we were able to talk to some of Steve's friends while we were there and get to know them better.
Saturday was just beautiful! The weather was perfect, about 80 degrees, partly sunny. We started off at the hair salon. My hair is at such an awkward stage and I ended up not liking it at all. I really should have done it myself! Oh well. We got ready at the church. The nylons I was supposed to wear and looked all over for didn't fit right, so I ended up not wearing any at all. The ceremony was beautiful! Pastor Earnest did it. He also married Dan and I. He's just so great at speaking and doing ceremonies. Baby was moving the entire time! It was cute. I was a little uncomfortable standing there, but no biggie.
We took pictures at Botanical gardens and stopped at Beck and Steve's house where they took pictures. The photographer was wonderful and got some beautiful shots!
The reception was just beautiful! I never had a chance to see it before the wedding, just pictures online but with all of the up lighting and table decor, and chair covers and flowers, everything turned out so nice. They had nice appetizers for cocktail hour. The wedding party's grand march went in to the "price is right" theme song which was fun. Amanda, Dan and I all had beautiful speeches. Dad also got up and spoke and I was so proud of him! He didn't even have it written down! The dinner was delicious: salad, rolls, beef, chicken, vegetables, potato and a noodle salad. The cake was also very good. The DJ was awesome all night. I can't say enough about it. It was just a nice evening! It's always nice to see family and friends that you don't see too often. It was lightly raining at the end of the night and this is my favorite shot that the photographer previewed:
33 Week Appointment, Friday 4:15pm
It feels like I was just at the doctor! It has only been two weeks. We were able to meet Dr. Jaglan, I think he's our favorite next to Dr. Hayes. It's funny, I like both of the male doctors the best. The appointment went well. My blood pressure was the lowest it's been all pregnancy 86/52. I don't feel any different so he wasn't concerned. I did ask for a full CBC again to test my platelets so I had blood work done before we left. Baby's heartbeat was between 138 and 144 when he was listening to her and he said it was strong. He also said she's in a very good birth position right now. Overall, it was a good appointment, I'm just hopeful that my platelets haven't dropped anymore. He said as long as it stays above 100, it's okay. I was at 121 at 20 weeks. If it drops below that, there can be issues with clotting if I needed a Cesarean delivery. We'll see! What's crazy to me is he said at this point, if I were go into labor, they wouldn't stop it since baby is grown enough to survive without too much time in the NICU. Crazy!!!!
I made my next 3 appointments with Dr. Hayes and Jaglan, fingers crossed they are one of the two that deliver me!
We have lots to do this month now that the wedding is over: getting nursery in order, washing diapers and clothes, installing car seat in car, organizing things. I better start nesting soon!
