Midwife Appointment – 34 Weeks

We had another midwife appointment today. It went really well and really quick. I love quick appointments! Others may be frustrated that appointments are only 15-30 minutes long, but I think it’s great!We talked about swelling a little today. I’ve experienced some swelling in my feet, toes, and ankles a few times, but not much. The day it was the worst was the day after we moved and I was at...

Midwife Appointment – 25 Weeks

We had another midwife appointment today. It went very well and actually very quickly. I thought I would be taking the glucose test today, but I was wrong. Instead, they gave me the grape juice that I’ll need to drink and directions for the test at my next appointment. I will have to fast after midnight the day of the test and drink the juice quickly about an hour before my appointment. Then...

Well, if you fall into one of these categories, please just stay quiet. I view a...

Baby Woke Me Up

At about 4:30a, I was awoken from my lovely slumber by a swift painful kick to my bladder. In a period of about 20 seconds, I received about 3 more of these love kicks. After putting the pain aside for a second, I realized that I actually needed to pee pretty badly. On my short walk to the toilet, I am gifted with a couple more kicks. After I peed, there was no sign of Baby anymore – not even a...
