Anything make you queasy or sick: Nothing this week.

Labor signs: none,

Symptoms: Lower Back Ache. Sleep... a lot. Braxton Hicks Contractions, which is very new for me... I didn't ever experience them with Bonnie Kayte, or maybe I did, but they did not take a toll on me like this go round.

Belly button IN or OUT: Definitely OUT.

Wedding rings ON/OFF: ON

Happy or Moody: Happy...ehh Both :)

Tuesday at my follow-up appointment, I had my ultrasound!
I've grown, and so has Maddie.
However, her belly hasn't, her belly is still tiny (in the 12 percentile), but her overall weight is back where it should be.
Seems that she is still not getting all that she can from me, but I will continue eating, and resting.
My next appointment is in 2 weeks,
Dr. Belle-Henry wants to hook me up to the monitor (takes about 45 minutes),
and then she wants to see me back the following week for another ultrasound/check-up!

4 rooms down, 1 more to go...

Before I raided Target & Hobby Lobby.......

(this ^ was our Queen bedroom suite, we sold it last week. the furniture was very big, the actual bed wasn't big enough for Steven and I, only 1 night stand fit (so the other was in the garage), and I just really...so so badly wanted a King size bed.)

(Wednesday night. After all the furniture was gone, and a King size bed replaced our big bulky furniture, and Steven's grandpas chest of drawers also found a place to call home)

After I raided Target & Hobby Lobby.......

Thursday night.

we are so loving having a King bed, and minimal furniture, and night stands, and the amazing pillow topper I found for our bed, and the initials on the wall, and.... :)

Have a good week!

Dr. Appointment is on Tuesday, I am anxious to hear little Maddie Lou's weight gain from two weeks ago!

Be Blessed. Be Loved.

Before/After

Today I had several errands to run in Amarillo,

and the ONLY hair tie that I had... I was using to fasten my jeans.

Ladies who have been pregnant, you feel me.

Anyhow, I am at Hobby Lobby in the longest line possible, new clerk (bless him), my feet hurt, I was itching because there is just so much stuff in that store, annnnd I was hot, like sweating.

So when I left Hobby Lobby, I went and got a hair cut! :)

I love it.

It's been a long time since I have had my hair short.

It was def. time.

Little bb is on her way, and a few months following her arrival, she'll start pulling my hair, my niece Katey reminded me of that this past weekend. :)

what did you do today!??

BE BLESSED. BE LOVED

*******

At my last doctor appointment (July 22), my doctor told us that Maddie Lou is tiny.

I'm growing, & gaining great... she isn't.

So she wants to see me back in 2 weeks, so on Aug5th.

Being that we have eliminated that I'm not smoking, I don't drink, I eat.... a lot, I've stopped exercising, she wants to monitor her closely. I will have another ultrasound at my next appointment, and I believe she wants to hook me up and monitor me for a bit. She thinks it may the placement of the umbilical cord. The ideal place for the umbilical cord to attach is right in the center, but sometimes it attaches on the outer part of the placenta, which is fine, it's just that Maddie is not getting all that she could be from me, and so if this is the case, she will take her at 38 weeks, because by then she will be fully developed, all will be well, and bb can benefit way more from me at that point than staying in there another week or so!

So I will keep you all updated!
