Pregnancy update

Well, I went to the doctor today for my routine visit. I am 34 weeks and 4 days. After 45 minute wait in the waiting room, and feeling like my skin was on fire from all this hot weather, I was finally called back. I gained 2 pounds over the past 3 weeks, so I am up to a total of 26. Still about 8 pounds difference from the first 2 pregnancies. The doctor said the test results they sent out last week actually did not show a UTI after all. Therefore, I either had another kindey stone or that the baby's head was putting a lot of pressure there. I gave him a recap of exactly how I have been feeling, and he basically said that the only way I would feel better, was to deliver. In the meantime, he wanted me off my feet as much as possible. Ha! I run a daycare here from 7:30-5:00, how am I suppose to be off my feet??? He said he was not putting me on bedrest, but that I needed to have help here, and rest as much as possible. That is so hard, especially when I actually have a ton of energy right now and don't feel sick. I feel helpless sitting around, and I hate it. He did not do an exam, but said he would next appointment. He estimated that the baby was around 6 pounds, which makes me a little nervous since I still have a few more weeks to go. He also said he could tell she was head down and in position. We talked a little bit more about induction and he said he would induce me at least a week early. All in all, everything went well, So, again we wait for another week.

More pool fun!

Rylee shooting water from the rocket shooter!

Syney was sun bathing on a raft

As we were getting ready for church this morning, Heather called to see if we wanted to spend the afternoon at the pool with her and the boys. So we packed everything up and went straight from church. We ordered pizza and had lunch there too. It was extremely hot, but for some reason it didn't feel so bad by the water. I do think I need to get the girls in swimming lesson, especially Sydney. They were a little fearful of the water. Rylee got a little more brave when she realized she was tall enough to touch in

Sunday Morning Best

This morning we got all dressed up in our new dresses that MeMe bought us and met Evette and Savannah at chuch. The girls have been wanting to wear their new dresses and they looked so pretty all dressed up. They went up to the front of the church for the children's message and then off to their class. They love to go. We had a nice morning.

Beating the heat

The temperature today reached 99 degrees. We stayed inside most of the day, but then had to fight the heat and take Rylee to her first of several dress rehearsals for her upcoming dance recital. It was a nightmare last year, so I had Brad chauffer us to the front door. The whole process was only 15 minutes but just being outside for that long was crazy. She did well, and then we headed to the ice cream shop. When we got back, Brad filled the pool outside and they spent several hours splashing around. To be a kid again....

34 Weeks

Here are a few new photos of my belly growing as Baby Kamryn's due date gets closer. I am 34 weeks now. Everyone seems to think my belly has dropped alot, and I can honestly say, I agree. I have had terrible heartburn for quite some time now, and in the past 2 weeks, it has finally eased up. The top of my belly feels empty and she feels much lower to me. My scale actually says I have lost a little bit of weight. I am still weighing 10 pounds lighter then I did with either Rylee or Sydney, so once, I am really anxious about my next doctor's appointment on Monday morning.

Night out

Tonight I went out to meet some of the ladies I use to teach with. I was so excited for some time out with friends. Thank you so much Sheila for everything you did to put that together. It was nice to catch up. I miss you all and the adult conversation each day. Thank you Sheila, Ashley, Barb, Carol, and Lynn for the extremely thoughtful gift card. I don't know why I have been so overwhelmed about getting some of those last minute things ready for baby Kamryn, but maybe this will push me to go shopping to finish up. You would think the third time around it would be easier and I would know exactly what I need. Well, I made it to 34 weeks, and I can't wait to see Dr. Kil on Monday. Will there be any change??? Will he talk more about my induction??? I will keep you all posted. Enjoy the weekend. One way or the other, Little Kamryn will be here so soon, and I can't wait to see her beautiful face and hold her for the first time. It is so amazing that you can love someone you have never even met yet.

We made it to June

It is hard to believe, but June is finally here, and I am now just about 34 weeks. This past week has brought back many memories of the rough month I had with both girls before delivering. This one seems to have just hit a little sooner. Everyone has said that I have dropped already, and I feel like I have. Last Friday, I had to call for another appointment. I have my 3rd UTI, which isn't really bothering me, I just started to worry about preterm labor. The doctor said I have not started to dilate yet, so that is a good thing. As anxious as I am to see the our new baby girl, I know she needs at least a few more weeks to grow. I still have my daycare running until June 18th, so I need to make it to that point. I will know more after I see the doctor on Monday.
