Baby Shower #2

Yesterday I had baby shower #2. It was given to me by one of the doctors wife's that I work for and my good friend Dani. We had a light lunch and opened gifts. I got some great stuff; like my baby monitor, clothes, bracelets, changing pad with cover, a gift card, a diaper cake, a space saver high chair, and a tummy time play mat. Thanks Dani and Joann for giving me the shower and to all my work friends who came.

Baby Update...

Yesterday, I went to see my doctor. Everything is still looking good! They took my weight, my blood pressure, which was 102/66, and had me do a urinalysis. He measured me and I am measuring right on for 32 weeks. And he listened to her heartbeat beating away at 150 BPM. He also gave me the go ahead to still work!! I go back on May 18 so I will keep everyone posted.

The Finished Product...

We have finally finished Brinley's room! I still have three showers left to fill it up with the rest of the things I still need. Here are a few pictures of the finished product.

Baby Shower #1

On Saturday my cute friends gave me my first baby shower. It was small and sweet. We had only 14 people there but it made it nice, since my next showers will have alot of people at them. I got so much stuff from hand made blankets, bottles, clothes, space saver high chair, bumbo with tray, baby carrier, handmade sweater with matching hat, frames, and her mobile. We played two games and had a light lunch. Thanks to my friends Megan and Becci for giving me my shower.

Baby Update...

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for my 30 week appointment. I am doing much better after my week of bed rest. They took my blood pressure which was 100/68, they did a urinalysis, and took my weight. He measured me and I am right on target! He also listened to her heartbeat, beating away at 145 BPM. And he gave me the ok to go back to work but I can only work 8 hours a day. I usually work one 10 hour shift a week that usually turns into one or two 12 hour shifts. No more of that! He also checked my hands and feet for swelling. I have to go back on May 4. I will keep everyone posted.

A Belly Picture...

Finally a belly picture for all of you who have been wanting and waiting to see one.

Easter...

This year for Easter, Jake and I started the day off by going to breakfast at Midvale Mining with his family. After breakfast we went over to his parents house and got our Easter gifts. Later in the afternoon we went over to my parents house for dinner and got our Easter gifts over there. Grandma and Grandpa Carsey and Jordison got us so many cute things for the baby.

Bed Rest!!

Yes I am on bed rest, but only till Monday (hopefully). On Sunday night I got up to use the rest room at about 2 am like I usually do, but it was not only urine I had massive diarrhea followed by vomiting. This went on till 8 am Monday morning. I then started to have back pain with a heavy pelvic pressure then labor pains. So around 9:30 am my mom took me into labor and delivery where they hooked me up to fetal monitors. The baby looked great and was never in distress, but I was showing a lot of contractions along with uterine irritability. They put an I.V. in and got me started on a liter of saline along with a dose of Zofran for nausea. They then started to give me another liter of saline. After I had both liters I was starting to feel much better but was still showing contractions and irritability. They then had me go to the bathroom so they could do a urinalysis. While we were waiting for the results they started me on a third bag of saline. My doctor had them check my cervix at this time. My cervix was closed but very soft. This concerned my doctor. He had them give me a shot of Terbutaline which within 20 minutes should stop the contractions. After about 10 minutes the contractions had almost gone away. We got the results back from the urinalysis which showed that I was still very dehydrated after the two bags of saline so my doctor wanted me to have a fourth bag. During that fourth bag I started showing some irritability again but not like it was. My doctor felt ok sending me home but on bed rest until my appointment on Monday. So I guess I have gotten some weird virus which made me have diarrhea and vomit which then made me dehydrated so my uterus got irritated which then caused me to have contractions. So this is why I have been put on bed rest for a week. I will let everyone know how things go on Monday.

Baby Update...

Today I had to take a Glucose test to make sure I am not getting Gestational Diabetes then they had to draw my blood then I went to see my doctor. I am now a little over 26 weeks and can't believe I will be starting my third trimester on Sunday! At my appointment they took my blood pressure, did a urinalysis, and took my weight. He measured me to make sure I am on target. I am measuring a half a centimeter bigger than most, the doctor was very excited about this since I have been measuring small. He listened to the heartbeat with the doppler, it was 155BPM. He checked my cervix to make sure it was doing good, since I have an incompetent cervix. He said my cervix is still closed and feels thick. This was great news! I go back on April 20. Everything looks great! I will keep everyone posted.

The Room, So Far...

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on cleaning, painting, and putting the furniture in the baby's room. Here is a preview of what we have done so far. We are still working on the bedding and we still need to put all of the butterflies and flowers on the wall. I will post more pictures as the room progresses.

Finally A Name...

After a long list of names we liked and months of going back and forth, we have finally chosen a name. We are going to name her Brinley Jordison. We are not sure on a middle name yet.

On Saturday we got started on the Baby's room. My mom, Jake, and his dad painted the room, since I am not suppose to be around the paint. We painted it pink and left some of it white. I have lime green, hot pink, brown, and tan butterflies and flowers that I painted to put on the wall around her name. My mom bought my comforter and it matches all of the colors perfectly. We ordered the furniture and it should be here any day. I will post some pictures soon.

Baby Update...

On Monday, I went to see the doctor. I am now just a little over 22 weeks. They took my blood pressure, took my weight, and did a urinalysis. We heard the baby's heartbeat, beating at 150 BPM. He measured me and I am measuring right on. He thought it would be funny to see what I should measure at at 40 weeks. I thought Jake was going to fall out of his chair when he saw how much more I needed to grow! I got to pick out a yummy flavor for my glucose test on March 25 to make sure I am not getting gestational diabetes. So all is well. I go back on March 25 and will keep everyone posted.
