Final Baby Shower...

On Saturday I had my final baby shower at my sister-in-laws house. We had some great food like chicken salad sandwiches, salad, fruit, shrimp, and vegetables. For dessert we had chocolate covered raspberries and strawberries and chocolate dipped butterfly cookies. I got some awesome stuff too. I got my pack n play, clothes, gift cards, bottle warmer, wipes warmer, drying rack, blankets, diapers, burp cloths, and so much more. Thanks to my sister-in-law Kaydee for putting it all together and to everyone else who helped her.

Baby Update...

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for my 36 week check up. They took my weight, blood pressure, which was 118/78, and did a urinalysis. He listened to her heartbeat at 145 BPM. He measured me and I am measuring right on target. I am 75% thinned and almost dilated to a 1. They also did a swab to make sure I don't have Strep B in the birth canal. He checked my hands and face for swelling, which I didn't have any. My feet are a little swollen but nothing to be worried about. Everything is looking good so far. I go back next week, so I will keep everyone posted.

Baby Update...

Today I went to the doctor for my 34 week check up. Everything looks great. They took my weight, did a urinalysis, and took my blood pressure, which was 108/78. He measured me and I am measuring right on target. He heard the heartbeat at 150 BPM. He also felt my abdomen to see if she is head down and she is! He checked me for swelling, none so far. I go back in two weeks on June 1. I will keep everyone posted.

Baby Shower #3...

On Saturday my aunts, grandma, and cousins threw me a baby shower. We had it at my mom's house out in the backyard. We had a light lunch and played two games. I got so much stuff!! I got her swing, clothes, diapers, a diaper cake, blankets, her baby book, washcloths, hooded towels, frames, and activity gym, just to name a few. Thanks to everyone who helped with the shower.

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.

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.
