I went to the doctor today and got to hear Nolan's heartbeat in between his flips and kicks!
Nolan's Heart Rate: 144
My BP: It was great, but that's all I remember her saying about mine.
Weight gain: 8 lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but I was on a different scale that they said weighed about 2lbs heavier than my Dr's, So I'm only counting 6lbs!) That puts me at a total weight gain of 15 lbs, I guess I'll cut out some of the ice cream but its SO GOOD !
I'm a little perturbed by the weight gain, I don't feel like Ive been pigging out or anything but I must admit there is a daily grab for the sweets. I suppose that's going to have to SLOW DOWN!
New feelings: CONTRACTIONS! Yes, for all of my friends I texted to see if what I was feeling was normal the other day... yes it was kind of normal but that's what it was !!!! She also said standing on my head to alleviate some of the pain was not recommended, so I guess it's on to plan B! Don't panic they are not often or severe, she just said to take a chill pill when they are happening (easier said than done!).
I have really started feeling the kicks and squirms but because my placenta is in the front everyone else will have to wait a bit longer to feel it... that's right this is still a Hands Off zone( I don't like to be touched & I realize that when he starts really moving I will have to suck it up because it's going to happen regardless but I literally hold my breath when someone reaches out for a feel)!

I think that's all for now. I have to do the nasty glucose test next time I go back and I will find out about how large they think this little guy is going to be (better be 8lbs or under is all I have to say!).
Family and Friends that want to love on Nolan when he gets here, PLEASE GET A FLU SHOT!!!
Fifteen pounds is not bad!!!!!!!! of course this is 40 pounds talking here(I won't mention the 20 still hanging around). Here is what I did with the glucose stuff- I kept it in the fridge and then an hour before I had to drink it, I stuck it in the freezer. It was a little frozen, like a slush, and I drank it through a straw and it wasn't bad at all. Still glad its you and not be though :) Love ya!
ReplyDeleteHey girl- As for the glucose testing, if given the option, do not take the orange flavor. I've heard very bad things about it. :)
ReplyDelete15 lbs isn't bad. Chad and I saw you at church last week and you looked beautiful. Don't stress it.
I am so happy for you both.

I agree with Sasha! I had the red flavor and it wasn't bad at all....just taste like a flat friut flavored soda drink and little watered down! Not at all like the horror stories! Glad mommy and baby are doing GREAT!
