"Protesting"

Wow, one more week down.

This week has been one of ups and downs.

It started off happy and exciting. 

The middle of the week was uneventful.

Then yesterday happened.

Yesterday our baby girl decided to not move at all and make me worry all day that something was wrong.

How in the world can that happen?

I knew that when she would get here I would worry for the rest of my life about her,

but not if she didn't move during the day or not.

Nothing made her move.

Cookies, water, juice, hot drinks, cold drinks, or even random smells that would make her twist and turn.

She decided to even "protest" her movement with dad touching my belly and talking to her.

My goodness talk about stubborn.

It wasn't until I had a Bob Evans Wildfire Salad did she finally decide that she was ready to move.

Now with the holidays literally right around the corner, she is going to decide to cause problems.

Anyway, I love her just the same.

I had an appointment on Wednesday the 20th and everything seems to be right on track.

Measuring right where I should be at and she was jumping around and kicking back.

Her heart rate was at 164 which is normal for her!

The only down that I had the whole appointment was that I did have a coke and a hot chocolate to drink before going in so that decided to show up and get me a talking to.

Since I did pass my Glucose test (at a 117) they told me it was ok to give in when I wanted, just not all of the time.

I'm ok with all of that!

I started going every two weeks and now we are on the downslope of things.

Started the third trimester Friday the 23rd!!

Only 12ish weeks left and I could not be more excited about that countdown.

It seemed like it was so far away when we started the process of IVF.

Now here we are planning a shower, getting the room set up, pack-n-play put together,

and just waiting on her.

Birthing class is done, hospital tour is done, registry is done, and soon she will be done baking.

It is finally clicking that this Christmas and New Year will be our last as just the two of us.

Next year will be the best yet to come.

There will be a lot of changes to come within our family.

With how hard 2017 was we are all very welcoming of 2018.

I will be updating this blog each week on Friday's.

There may be more information with every other week until Feb since I start weekly appointments at that time.

If you have questions, make sure that leave me a comment down below and I'll make sure to answer it in the next update!
