So my check up went okay yesterday. Baby Andon's heartrate was 156 and he was kicking the dr. while she was taking it :). I said "this baby is crazy, he NEVER stops moving around!" She said that's the best thing she could hear. My blood pressure was a little elevated... nothing abnormal really... it was 120/82, that's just high for me and w/ my history of pre-eclampsia she wants to keep a close eye on it. Last night my hands/fingers were so swollen I could barely get my ring off. I start going every 2 weeks now. I can't believe that time is already here! Next time I have to do the glucose test and some other bloodwork, for anemia and stuff. YUCK. I'm not looking forward to that... I was anemic w/ B and those iron supplements aren't too much fun, but hey, whatever it takes for a healthy baby! I go back on Christmas Eve and will be 28 wks and 2 days! Oh yah, I've gained14 lbs.... I asked her yesterday and I gained a total of 17 w/ B.... eeek!! i still have quite a ways to go! She said I started out smaller this time though and a lot of times you make up that weight quicker. AND then she said, she would actually rather me gain closer to 30 then only the 17 I gained w/ B. THIRTY LBS?? Are you kidding me? Oh my! That's like a 1/3 of my pre-pregnancy weight!
After my appt. I had a ton of errands to run & I was already exhausted! Luckily they got me in and out pretty quick @ the dr. I had birthday presents to buy, giftcards to get for my momma for her student workers (i waited in line for thirty minutes @ hollister to get those dumb things), I wanted to get some clear ornaments that you can put things in at Hobby Lobby, but the guy said "we've been out for a long time, our stock goes out in october." well excuse me! :) I was going to make those for brycen's pre-school class w/ their names on them, so any other ideas would be appreciated :). I didn't get home until close to 7pm... and I didn't even get all my stuff done, I just couldn't do anymore. Ryan & B had been watching Kung Fu Panda (I've never seen it??) and they had to show me their new moves :) Crack me up! One good thing about all that is, is that i fell asleep by 10:00pm! Whoo hoo!!!! :)
Now i have an insane & busy day and trying to get stuff ready for B's party on Saturday. I don't know how I am going to get everything done... Plus I need to go to Jasper and pick up my pictures for the christmas cards so i can mail them out... oh my I'm stressing myself out! lol. Guess I better go :)

Chelsa you crack me up! 30 lbs. does seem like a lot.... 20-25 seems a lot better.hehe. About the ornaments. Did you check Michaels, Target or Joan Fabric in evansville? And try not to stress to much....just enjoy the holidays!! It will all come together.
HAHA, i always swell up like a balloon from about 34 weeks on. I knew my last apt. I had gained a bunch of water I could already feel myself swelling up, and yup 7 lbs. in 2 wks. Nothing new here, I can't have a kid without gaining 50lbs. Doesn't matter what I do. Be happy with your 30!
Thanks Chels!! I appreciate the prayers. They are always welcome.
We definetly need to get together after christmas before little Andon comes. :-) I cant wait!!!
I think we were separated at birth :) I have never been diagnosed with RLS but I'm pretty sure I have some of the symptoms and it's worse with pregnancy. I also am on the anemic side and have to take iron at the end of pregnancy as well. On the other hand I've never had to deal with High blood pressure so I will be praying about that for you. I know a couple of girls here that have gone through the same, but it actually worked out better with their second pregnancy.
Can't believe our kids will be 4!! Time goes way too fast!
Girl, you are SO tiny!! I won't tell numbers but I will say that I have definitely gained more than 17 lbs - lol! I started off smaller this time also and quickly made up for it - so reading what your doctor said actually made me feel better :-)
