34 week Nugget report. Well, BP was higher than last time so that's not cool. But I feel fine, no headaches no blurry vision and no protein in my urine (not even trace). So doc didn't think I needed to do the 24 hour urine catch so he opted for some bloodwork(checking liver/kidney function, CBC etc). Measuring right on track and gained a couple pounds so everything else is going well. Still have swollen feet but that goes away at night when I get them up and I still have numbness in my hands which will go away after Nugget's here. So since my BP was higher than he liked he wants to see my back in a week instead of 2. So from here on out appointments every week. Think that about covers it. I'll post an update when I get the blood results back.

32 week Nugget update. Appointment went well. Mom came over so she could go with me since Jim couldn't make it. She got to hear the heartbeat and she got a little weepy. Only gained a pound so my weight is good. BP was still up a bit but doc told me they compare my first visit BP to the later ones since the middle of pregnancy BP usually goes down. So I'm holding my own. Feet /ankles swell and my hands get numb. But that's all normal. Another appointment in 2 weeks.
On a side note......I forgot to post this earlier. I had a dream the other night and I had Nugget and everyone was asking me how "Garrett" was doing. So there ya go!

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Nugget's baby shower was yesterday and the theme was , yup, you guessed it...........COWS !! Thanks to my best buds Holly and Jenny OC it turned out great. We had a great turnout and got lots of great stuff. Hard to believe that we only have 10 weeks or less til Nugget makes an appearance!

30 week update. Had appointment today for Nugget, appointments are every 2 weeks for awhile. Gaining weight of course, I think almost 15-20 lbs at this point. BP was a little high today but I chalk it up to being outside before heading to the doc. They will monitor this, I'm not at all concerned. Heartbeat good and strong. Next visit I will start seeing the other docs in this practice. Tomorrow is our labor/delivery class part 1, next week is part 2 then in a couple weeks we have a newborn care class. It's all coming so fast!!!! Doesn't seem possible that in 10 weeks give or take , our little Nugget will be here.
Nugget is active and tumblin' around like crazy. Starting to get Braxton Hicks, guess my body is practicin' for the BIG day. YIKES, I'm not sure if I"m ready for that
This coming Saturday is baby shower number 1. I"m getting excited !!! It'll really seem real when I come home with a carload of baby stuff :)
Stay tuned in 2 weeks for another update.
