25 Week OB Appointment!

Well the appt went really well! My blood pressure was registering 119/78.

And I talked the doctor into doing an ultrasound for me! My cervical length is all good and closed as it should be, plenty of fluid around the baby, and the baby is measuring on the 65th percentile and weighs 1lb 15 oz. They said my estimated due date is more likely around 10/13 rather than 10/22.

I also had my 1 hr glucose tolerance test and I passed, barely , but I still passed. I had it with Tanner so I was pretty sure I would have it this time too.. but its still early so I really should watch the sugar more closely regardless.

I was worried because the blood draw is supposed to be taken 1hr, and the lab tech could not get my blood drawn- she dug and dug (ouch!) and finally got it 20 minutes after she should have so I hope it didnt affect the results, it was 132...

But the baby looks sooo cute in his picture , looks alot like Tanner to me!! I am relieved it went so well and very happy too!

24.5 Weeks and Fourth of July...

Well I am now 6 months along.. will be 25 weeks on Wednesday... this is the most current photograph. The baby's movements are now visible from the outside alot and they are getting stronger and stronger.. he is very active.

We went to our Sunriver house for the Fourth of July it was fun to be home... visited with my parents and went to the Frontier Days festival and then we got a bunch of fireworks and Bucky and Tanner proceeded to put on quite a show with a real big finale... it was a lot of fun!

I have my next appt Wednesday for a regular OB appt and then I go to the lab for the fun gestational diabetes test ( I am sooo looking forward to this one!!) I am getting excited for our trip to California and I finally will be getting to meet my little nephew Alex! Its a busy week but will be worth it when we are off to California next week!

Gardening....

... I have been so enjoying gardening this summer! We started a bunch of seeds. We started pumpkins, cucumbers- lemon and regular, zucchini, yellow squash, watermelons, green onions, radishes, beets, and lots of flowers- pansies and sunflowers...

It has been so rewarding watching them grow, we started them indoors and I have become attached!!

We also have tomatoes and peppers and tomatillos that we got in 4" and they have really grown-

We have veggies growing on the zucchini, squash, tomatoes and peppers..

It has been really fun for me!

Our 15 year Wedding Anniversary!

Today is Bucky and I's fifteen year wedding Anniversary! Wow time flies....

It was a beautiful day June 26 1994, the sun was shining and we were surrounded by all the people we loved the most .. it truly was one of the best days of my life...

We wrote this together for our invitation and it holds true,

"Today I will marry my best friend. The one I laugh with, love and forever share my life with".

This past fifteen years I have learned one very important thing. The importance of unconditional love. That is what we have, and that is what keeps us and our family strong.

Congrats to Elizabeth and Anthony!

I just wanted to say Congratulations to my cousins who found out they are expecting a baby BOY due this November~ we are so excited for you both!!

OB APPT 6/10/09

.. All seems to be going well. My uterus is maybe a little higher than 21 weeks but not by much.
Babys heartbeat sounds good. My BP was good 120/70- . I discussed my heart palpitations with the doctor and he told me that as long as they dont occur while exercising or mid day or accompany pain or shortness of breath it is okay. I feel them only at night when I am resting.

We will be doing my gestational diabetes test in 4 weeks, along with another thyroid test. He told me I should start eating as though I already have it as I will probably get it due to the fact I had it with Tanner .

I have already gained as much weight as I wanted to the whole pregnancy so that kind of bums me out. Bad choices I guess. So.... I am going to try to limit the weight gain ( without dieting obviously) so that I will be more healthy after I deliver as well as to avoid pregnancy problems such as high blood pressure. He told me the last 10 weeks of pregnancy I will gain 1 lb per week, so theres 10 more right there! I just need to make smarter choices.

The baby is a wiggle worm... pretty constant. Buck still hasnt felt it and it has me so annoyed!
I am like here now and he puts his hand there.. then the baby stops! Well all in good time I suppose.

Halfway Mark- 20 Weeks

Well, I am half way there! 20 weeks ( 21 on Wed). The baby is moving around and is so active I feel him all day long. I am definately getting bigger......

We went to Idaho for Grandma O's funeral this past week, it was very hard, we will miss her so much and I wish she would have gotten the chance to meet her new great grandson. It was nice though to see all the family. All of Tanners cousins on the Hanson side were present. All Buckys siblings except for Cody was there.

I will post some pictures along the side- Laurel and I are both pregnant within a couple few weeks of each other so we got a couple preggo shots together.

I loved seeing all the siblings and family in general and wish it was under happier times, we need to do it more often. Time sure flies by. Tanners out of school now for the summer and is real glad about it- there baseball team was undefeated for the season- with 6 home runs this season- way to go Tanner!
