30 WEEKS!

So we have made it to 30 weeks... only 10 more to go! The baby is growing at an alarming rate. It is so cool to sit and watch my belly move around as the baby enjoys it's ever so comfortable home. We went to the Doctor and everything is looking good with the Baby. The baby is no longer breech, but head down and ready to go. Everything else is in it's correct place so as of now no C-Section... YAY!!! Also, I am RH negative and the baby is positive so I had to get an RH shot in my hip so my blood doesn't attack the baby's blood during delivery. My tummy is really growing... and the bigger it gets, the more tired I get. I am officially waking up about 3-5 times a night to pee, and not getting the rest I need... so lugging around my big belly is just exhausting. But again I really can't complain, I have had a really great pregnancy so far, and it is all worth it in the end. I try to not wake Michael up each time, but the good husband he is, he does wake up and each time asks, "are you okay?" In which I reply, "yes just have to pee again!" I just think it is nature's way of training us to function on less sleep because that is what will be happening for the next 18 years of our lives. Other than that we are all doing well... and just getting everything ready and squared away before Baby Litvack comes into the world!

THE ADIDAS BOYS!

I just had to share this absolutely adorable picture of Michael and our nephew Jayden. So my sister came over with Jayden all geared up for his first soccer game, and when Michael walked in from work this is what we saw!

THEY MATCHED!!!

I think this is so funny... and a definitely glimpse of what our baby will look like... girl or boy... when daddy has a say with what they wear. Adidas will officially take over my life! But aren't they so cute?

28 Weeks... Only 84 days left!

So we have made it to the 7 month mark. Everything is going great, I can't complain. The summer has not been hot at all, which is absolutely great. It has been absolutely beautiful so I am thankful for that.

At 24 weeks I had to take the routine glucose test... I FAILED haha. So two weeks later I had to take the 3 hour glucose test. For those of you who don't know what this is let me explain. By all means it is not difficult... it is just long, annoying, and disgusting. They make you drink a whole "red cup" of what seems to be Orange Crush which is doused in sugar. It is extremely flat and after a few gulps just makes you feel disgusting. Prior to drinking it, the nurse takes your blood. You drink the Orange Crush, and as soon as you finish the clock starts. So I put my college drinking skills into play and chugged it as fast as I could. Once the clock starts... you wait. Every hour for the next three hours the nurse would take my blood again. Again not the worse part, but it is never fun being pricked with a needle, and especially four times in the same spot within a 3 hour span. The worst part was the not being able to eat from 11:00 pm the night before until the end of the test which was 12:15pm the next day. Baby was hungry... and mommy was STARVING. Anyway, that test came back clean which is fantastic. It means I don't have to A. modify my diet and not enjoy the "eating what you want" during pregnancy, or B. worse case scenario take insulin shots for the next three months. Phew dodged that bullet. Now I just have to wait until Friday for my 28 week check-up to make sure everything is in its correct place and determine if I will need a C-Section or not. So keep your fingers crossed... I'd rather not have a 10 inch incision in my lower abdomen if I don't have to!

So with that said we are chugging along and the baby is moving like crazy. Some times I think the baby is literally break dancing inside. It was so cool the other day I was laying on the couch (when most of the activity happens) and I could see the baby moving from one side of my belly to the next. It was the coolest thing... I wish I had my video camera ready! Well, here are some pics of the every expanding belly. I have a few to show variety, and I will keep you all posted on the doctors appointments!
