Bought Baby's First Outfit
Goody's was just built in my town & I hadn't been there in years & I knew that since it was after Christmas that they'd have some sales...I didn't find what I was looking for but I did get a good deal on this baby dress & hooded towel set...it was regular $24 & they marked it down to $3.14 woo hoo what a deal!!

Went to my ultrasound(again) to look at my placenta to see if it had moved up, it did, so no surgery for me !!!! Baby Ava is head down, 4.2pds & doing great :)

3 hour glucose test
I failed my 1 hour test so they sent me in 2 take a 3 hour test...the drink was about 6 oz more than what you normally drink...it made me feel sick & at one point I got dizzy & had to lay down...i had my blood drawn every hour...4 times...4 hours..it was awful..my arms are bruised....I'll be so mad if they say my sugar is fine.

On December 1, 2011 at 28 weeks 4 days pregnant
Prental Tests: Glucose Challenge Test
Not much to tell..I drank that nasty sugary drink..waited an hour & then got my finger pricked..which led me to a new 3 hr test in a wk...I sure hope I don't have gestational diabetes. I hate needles..my worst fear ever has come true.

On November 28, 2011 at 28 weeks 1 day pregnant
Finished the Nursery
Its not finished being decorated but we have all the furniture. We actually had to build an extra room in my house for the baby. We only have 3 rooms & our other 2 kids have 2 of the 3. We never really planned to have another child even though I always said I wanted another,my husband would always say no. We were trying to sell our house & it wasnt going well,we had planned on buying another house & then a yr or so later have another child, but we decided to stay here a bit longer, pay off more of the mortgage & then try to sell again.

On November 15, 2011 at 26 weeks 2 days pregnant
Started Wearing Maternity Clothes
I started wearing them on & off,just the shirts at 1st because the pants just didn't fit me yet & some still don't.not sure on the date though,it was before halloween.

On September 28, 2011 at 19 weeks 3 days pregnant
Husband/Partner Felt Baby Move for the First Time
He didn't feel her move,he saw her move lol it's all the same..I was laying on the couch like I do every night & I prop my legs on his lap,well she just started going crazy flipping all around & kicking, which cracked me up & he thought I was losing my mind lol she kicked at least 6 times beside my belly button & I had told him to watch & as soon as she kicked his face lit up & he said I saw that lol

On September 21, 2011 at 18 weeks 3 days pregnant
Found Out Baby's Gender
Before I even got pregnant I wanted a girl & the whole time I was pregnant I would say it was a girl,the whole family wanted a girl. When I went in to have my ultrasound done I had asked the technician to not tell me the gender but to let me figure it out....I guessed right GIRL!!!! I get to go back in another month to see her again.

On September 20, 2011 at 18 weeks 2 days pregnant
Announced Baby's Gender to Family
Everyone in my family uses TXT messaging as a form of communication, so when I got a picture of the baby i sent it to them & let them figure out whether it was a boy or girl LOL

On September 19, 2011 at 18 weeks 1 day pregnant
Picked a Name
My husband & I are total opposites so picking a name wasn't easy lol but we did it, we actually kept hearing the name on t.v. & I said well that's the name,it was a sign. Can't wait to see baby AVA

On August 22, 2011 at 14 weeks 1 day pregnant
Felt My Baby Move for the First Time
I'm not really sure of the exact day I started to feel the baby move,but its around this time frame...I was debating on whether or not it was the baby.it's been 7 yrs since I've felt baby movement so gotta brush the dust off lol I don't get why all the books & articles tell you that you won't feel the baby move until your about 20 wks...their so full of crap!! Where do they get their education from? A cereal box lol ? As soon as I wake up in the AM & roll onto my back,the baby curls up in a ball & theres a cute little lump on my belly

On August 17, 2011 at 13 weeks 3 days pregnant
Heard Baby's Heartbeat for the First Time
This wasn't the 1st time we've heard the heart beat,but it was the 1st time we"ve been able to just sit & listen to it..the last time we heard it was for a split second & today she actually had to fight to find it which kind of worried me..but she got it & it was a strong 150..big difference from the 180 it was at one time.

On July 25, 2011 at 10 weeks 2 days pregnant

Announced Pregnancy to Family
I told my family well before I got pregnant that I was trying..so they werent shocked,just happy..my husband is a wuss..he hasnt even told his father yet..but he told his mom on the 13th & his gma on the 14th.

On June 13, 2011 at 4 weeks 1 day pregnant
Told Husband/Partner
Me & my husband already knew my test were positive,but because it was so light he just didnt believe it, so on the 13th I took some more test,just to prove it to him..it was about a wk before fathers day & I just couldnt wait...so I got a few different tests for proof & then found a baby shower favor & put it in a ring box & wrapped it up like a piece of candy...HAPPY EARLY FATHERS DAY!!

On June 11, 2011 at 3 weeks 6 days pregnant

That's good that your cervix is closed at the top! I would still take it super easy. Hopefully, your placenta will move up on its own and they won't have to perform a c-section. I'll be praying for you. Keep posting updates!

Oh wow, sorry to hear about your cervix & pressure :( I had a cerclage(stitch) placed because I've had two losses at 21 weeks due to an Incompetent Cervix. They put the stitch in for this pregnancy at a little over 14 weeks to keep it from shortening, and so far, it's worked :) Ask your OB about checking your cervical length and if they can put you on medicine for the contractions. Try to take it easy as possible, also! Keep me updated on what your OB says.

Oh wow, I'm sorry about the news on your placenta. Hopefully, it will move up away from the cervix. I had to google the accessory placental lobe. Are they sending you to a MFM specialist to monitor it?

Their gonna look at his spine again bc he wouldnt sit still last month and they couldnt see the bottom part, like near his butt. So they just wanna check again to make sure its fine. I'll ask for a weight check too...around 5 months is when my babies start growing double time!! LOL

Well I think your look cute! And goodluck today at the doc's. I have another ultrasound Thursday.
