30 Weeks

Only 9 more weeks to go people!!! I am having a better day today so I thought I would try to bring the spirit back up from last week!!

Went to the Doctor today and I got a good report on my sugar situation. He seems to think it is regulating itself out. I also only gained 1 pound this time, which I really enjoyed hearing!! He is still talking about Hudson being a big boy and said I am measuring 3 weeks larger than I should. Not for reasons I can help either, which was reassuring. He said Hudson's head is down and what I thought was a butt is actually shoulders, his legs and feet are perfectly positioned in my diaphragm (which explains the not being able to breathe issue). He basically said that I am in for some discomfort in the upcoming months, but the good new is we both are healthy!

4D Ultrasound on Friday, Wooohooooo!!! Guess we'll really find out how big this dude is!! And also looking forward to my Baby Luncheon on Saturday at Nana's house. Special thanks to Nana and Jamie!! Be watching for ultrasound pics and I'll have a DVD if you want to see it!! So exciting and I love him soooooo much already I know I'm gonna cry when I see him!!

PS- I am not sure where the 4th dimension comes into play, but all I can figure is that it is 3d plus x-ray where you can see his bones and organs. Who knows? Next year they'll have 20d!!

Have a great week! Love, The Rohrmayers

29 Weeks

Okay, I'm not going to lie, I don't feel so cheery today /this week. Let me get this out of the way: I can't sleep, I can't breathe, I have to go to the bathroom every hour, I'm huge, I'm grouchy, I want to eat sugar and I can't, I'm hungry all the time, my ankles, hands, and face are swollen, I'm nervous about labor, and Hudson has had hiccups all day long. I love feeling him move, but not every other second. It's probably good that I can't drink right now because I think a bottle of wine and a box of Kleenex would be gone tonight. I am just so tired!! I have pretty much contained it and been optimistic for the past 7 months, but today I am allowing myself to have a bad day. I don't hate being pregnant, but I definitely don't love it either. I am just ready for these next few weeks to be over. Oh and another thing I'd like to get out, is........... If you have a horror story about your labor, please stop telling me!! I don't want to know. If you had the easiest labor in the world, I don't really want to know either. I know people think this is comforting, but really I just don't want to talk about it. If you really want to comfort me, buy me a mu-mu to wear around my house. Sorry if that offends anyone, but I warned you at the beginning, I am not in a cheery mood.

Now, the good news is I have the ultrasound to look forward to next week!! I will post pics tomorrow.

Sorry for the downer, Cari

7 Months

Holy moly! another month flew by!! I have been feeling pretty good, some swelling and sleeplessness continues, but mostly feeling good. I have been having some Braxton-Hicks (I think that's how you say it) contractions which really aren't that bad at all. I saw the Doctor and he felt around again to explore his concern from last time. He determined that I am only 7 months, but he is going to be a big boy!! Doc says 8 lbs. + , oh my!!. I saw an infant this week that weighs eight pounds and all though he looked really small in his grandmas arms, he looked really big in relation to "down there". Well, I guess I'd rather him be big and healthy than under weight. I also gained 7 pounds in 3 weeks, the most I have gained in between doctors visits so far. Doc said "it's okay, but let's not do that again." So less Little Debbie and more fruits and veggies for me. I can tell Brandon is finally getting excited. He likes to watch my belly move all around and is looking forward to this 4d ultrasound on the 31st. The sugar problems also seem to be under control, with the occasional episode that is usually self induced. Only 12 more weeks people till we can meet our little Hudson!! Get ready!!

PS- those are not stretch marks in the photos, they are marks from my shirt. I have been pretty fortunate so far, although I am beginning to wonder how long my luck will last.

27 weeks

26 Weeks

I missed last weeks picture, but I will get one out this week : (

This is a 4 day week which will be very nice!! The temperatures are finally a little cooler too!! We have a few plans this weekend, baby showers and family visiting, but it is going to be a really nice weekend. I am feeling pretty good, except I just feel "heavy" is the only way I know how to explain it. It is harder to roll over, get out of bed, get off the couch, or pretty much do anything. I guess most people gain weight over a long period of time and I have gained close to 20 pounds in like 4 months or something. Ah, well. Hudson has been moving all the time still and is getting a lot stronger. I can now usually tell where his butt is and definitely know where his little kicking feet are. He pushes a lot with his butt as if he's trying to make more room in there. Maybe he'll be a lefty like his Daddy and his Mpaw, since he usually likes hanging out on the left side.

Plans are in the works for my shower. We are thinking mid-August sometime around the 15th? So keep your calendars open. Talk to you next week!! Love, Cari

25 weeks

Short and sweet~ been feeling good, weather is soooooooo hot 90's everyday this week : ( Went swimming 2 times this week and it felt wonderful, Brandon said he wasn't embarrassed of me, but I wore a tank over my bikini so I wouldn't offend anyone! I didn't do cannon balls or swan dives, but it was fun to get some heat relief. Busy weekend this weekend and I feel like time is closing in to get things done around the house, not to mention I STILL need to register!! Talk to you all next week!! Love, hugs and kisses, The Rohrmayer's.

6 Months

Hello Again. I slacked last week on posting some pictures, but I do have them and will post them soon.

This week has been kind of rough. I have been having some sugar problems. Doc says I am just producing more insulin than I should right now and in combination with my unhealthy Pop Tart breakfast (mmmm, brown sugar and cinnamon) it caused me to feel not so great. He said it should regulate itself out in a few months when my body will naturally produce less insulin. Until then, I'll lay off the sweets! I guess if this is the worst of it, it's not so bad. I also have been having a terrible time sleeping which results in extreme grumpiness!! -- sorry Brandon. Hudson seems to be doing just fine in there. He is moving around like it's his job and the Doc says his heart rate sounds great. He did say that my uterus is a little further up than he would think for 24 weeks, he said he'd guess me more at 28 weeks by the size!! He said maybe it will just be a bigger baby than he originally expected. Oh well, as long as he's healthy I really don't care. Doc says we'll keep an eye on everything and I go back in 2 weeks for another sugar test. I look like a heroin addict from all the times I have been stuck this week.

Have a great Father's Day Weekend!! Happy Father's Day Brandon!!!

Love, The Rohrmayer's
