We had a nice little scare on Monday when the midwife examined me and asked me to go for a sonogram because she thought our baby was breach...which automatically means a c-section. The earliest I could get in for a sono was Wednesday...well, everything is fine!! All that worrying for nothing! Baby Reis is in a great position - except for the fact that he/her legs are up in my ribcage...though that is fine for the birth, it's really uncomfortable. The sonogram isn't very accurate on size, but it's estimate was that our little one is 4pds 9oz...right on track to be a 7 pounder at birth...which I would LOVE! :).
I think out of all my girlfriends here in the expectant moms group it's down to Pam and I to have our babies...everyone else has already popped. Pam is expected to go in about two weeks and I've got about a month and a half. It will be so nice to have a reunion and see all the new babies!
It's weird, but some nights I have to get up at 3am to empty my bladder and other nights I can sleep right through...the nights where I have to get up I always wake up feeling more rested...doesn't make sense.
Aurelio and I have been looking at SUV's and have fallen in love with the Mazda CX-9, unfortunately that's out of our price range...so we're seriously looking at the Nissan Rogue...hopefully we'll have decided what we're going to do by this weekend. It's been raining here and last night I had to stop by his work and swap cars because mine was hydroplaning everywhere and I had a dinner date with some girls up in Carrollton. (30miles away). I'm really looking forward to having a bigger car and one that I feel safe in. As my belly grows, so do my fears of getting in a car crash...
After a couple interviews; we've found our pediatrician! I really enjoyed visiting the offices; they were all dect out with toys and cute paintings on the walls. The one we ended up going with had a beautiful office that was all underwater themed...a women who takes her kids there painted the walls and even stuck real shells to them. I wish I was able to get a good picture...it was just beautiful. Though, of course that's not why we chose them... ;)
I finally broke down and went to the chiropractor...I had so many complaints..."my back hurts, my ribs are sore, i have heartburn, my legs ache, etc" Something HAD to give...and the tums weren't doing anything for the heartburn so I figured the only thing I had SOME control over was the back pain. Our chiro did the best he could to "adjust" my back, but with my belly in the way it was hard to get my lower back - where most of the pain is...so I'm going in for a nice maternity massage on monday!! :) I'm looking forward to getting some relief there.
Hope everyone is having a good week so far!!
