Details to come

in labor

ive been in labor since this afternoon.....at the dr appt i was at 3 cm 90% effaced and contracting every 2 minutes.....ill keep you posted
Update... no

Glucose Tolerance Test

its that time already, i remember that with Alanna it used to be one hour, but apparently they changed it up to 2 hours, i am not liking this, its making me nauseous. I was trying to skip this test, since my due date is close.... but yesterday at the doctors appointment, they told me i would be treated as diabetic of i didn't take the test.... i had no option!
For the 33 week appointment, everything seems fine, ill be off procardia at 37 weeks...hopefully he will come by then which is the beginning of June, yay for that! A June baby!!

Appointment 38 weeks

I was at the hospital on saturday because the doctor had told me to go for observation, i did and i was still 3cm 90% effaced and no more contractions... Had me come in today for a follow up...
5 cm
100% effacement
No contractions
I think he sweeped my membranes because it hurt more than the usual check up....Hooked me to the contraction monitor and no contractions were registered....
I got home and of course little spotting was found in my undies... they have subsided but I seem to have more cramping right now... So I am drinking some tea, sitting on a yoga ball and walking, no not walking, galloping up the hill.... lets see if it works...

37 Weeks....

I am at 37 weeks now, Alanna was born at exactly 37 weeks... What are you waiting for Jovancito!?
The race starts today, Jovan says he will be born on Sunday and I said from the 4th (full moon) to the 6th...
I am ready to evict this child!
I have doctor's appointment today... HOPEFULLY i will be a little bit more advanced than i was at 35 weeks... Keep your fingers crossed

35 Week Appointment

We had our appointment yesterday...
Glucose Test- Good
Dilation- 1cm
Effacement- 80-90%

I was not taking Procardia anymore, it makes me feel horrible... Yesterday Dr told me to start taking it again.. I started in the afternoon...
I can't really walk anymore, I feel like if the baby is pushing down and it's pinching something in there... Hopefully he will wait until the beginning of June... I have stuff to do! who doesn't? LOL
I can't sleep at night... toss and turn...take showers, have hot flashes, and so many other pains that come with pregnancy... Im starting to think that I may not want to have other babies.... We'll see...

Baby Dropped....

You cant really see it but its lower now.... i was checking to see when did Alanna dropped, and she did at about 30 days or so..... that means ill be delivering end of the month or beginning of June.... hopefully.
Did i mention we are having a boy? well we are! and he will be named after my husband and also to honor my dad, Jovan Gerardo... Oh i cant wait to meet him!
Also no baby shower for this one...and i am thankful to say that Jovan shares my way of thinking, we believe that its ok for the first one, but not for 2nd or 3rd....plus whoever wants to give someyhing the baby will give it, there is no need for parties....again right or wrong that is our way of thinking

crochetting

Is this cute or what!?
There is a amazing collection of cute girly thing.... what about boy stuff... well i decided to make him cute things without jeopardazing his manhood... silly mom...I'll be making baby booties and a baby cocoon....

28th Week Appointment

I had my 28th week appointment this day and I ended up getting admitted to triage.. I had contractions every 1 1/2- 3 minutes.. Had the worst steroid shot, just in case I delivered early... and was prescribed Procardia... Not a very fun prescription.... lowers my blood pressure... makes me feel drunk... I have to take it until 36 weeks or so...
Stayed overnight.. and was sent home, no bed rest or nothing..
lets see how it goes

oh boy Oh Boy OH BOY!

We are so excited to announce that we are having a boy... There was a lot of women including my mother in law that thought (because of the shape of the belly) that it was going to be a girl.. I always like to prove that those things most of the times are wrong...
Most people tell us that we will now have "la parejita" but I hate to disagree to that comment... why say that if they won't be sharing make up, dolls, clothes... On the plus side, they won't fight for those things either...
Regardless... I love the fact that we are going to experience something new!!!  We are extremely excited!
A has also picked the name... but i'm not sure J likes the name... but hey...I got my ideas for the baby.. and I have to admit I love the Name that A picked... (will probably figure it out when we see his sweet sweet face)
On a different note.. I want to start Vlogging... I've seen couple of vloggs and they seem so interesting, maybe I'll try it sometime.....
Nuff of the random posting.. my head is all over the place
