a new adventure everyday
I can’t believe it has been a month already (+ 6 days). I’ve survived! 😛
Mia’s stats:
weight 10 lb 1 oz
length 22 1/2 in long
The biggest shocker was weight. I have noticed that she was getting heavier but not this heavy. She does eat well. 😆
She had one shot. Cried a bit but she was okay.
Next appointment: Jan 14
I just found out this weekend that one of my SIL’s is having a baby too. The best part: She is due November 9. I am due November 7. It is so cool that my baby is going to have a cousin her/his age. AND Diego is also going to be a Big Cousin too. I would have never thought in a million years for that to happen. So, so excited!!!
For Mia at 8 days old. This is her first trip since getting home 5 days ago.
The doctor wanted to check her her weight and other various body checks.
Mia is gaining weight wonderfully!!! She was 7lb 4oz when born. The lowest weight at the hospital was 6lb 6oz. When she left the hospital on Friday (Nov. 14), she was 6lb 11oz. 5 days later, she is at 7lb 6oz. Yippee!! And also no shots this visit.
Here she is at the doctor’s office.
Her next appointment is on Dec. 17.
We are happy to announce the arrival of Mia Carina on November 11, 2008 at 1:45 am. Mom and daughter are doing well. Dad and big brother Diego are thrilled with the new addition.
No progress. *sigh* Figures. It seems that I am heading the same way as my previous pregnancy. I was hoping for some progress but just got disappointed. But I gained 2 pounds from last week, bp is fine, heartbeat is nice and strong, 39 cm belly. Doctor really just wants me to wait. My other option is to get a planned c-section which is not what I want to so the wait will continue.
Next appointment is Nov. 12. I will be doing a NST (which is so boring, I have to remember to take a book to read). Then if I still don’t go into labor, I will probably go to the hospital on Monday, Nov. 17 but not sure yet about that.
Diego went to the dentist for the first time today!
Eric and I went but only one of us could go into the room with him. Diego chose his Papa to go with him. This was a good thing too because Eric sat in the chair and Diego was sitting/leaning on him. This would have been impossible with me. 😆
Eric went with him and I sat in the reception area. I was able to see and hear them anyway so it was okay.
The good news: NO cavities. Also, it doesn’t look like there will be a space problem for his permanent teeth.
The bad news (sort of): We have to start to really get him to drink from a cup and not a “sippy cup.” The good thing is Diego like to drink from a cup but due to laziness and trying to avoid spillage, we haven’t really pushed it.
He had some build up so we went ahead with a teeth cleaning. He did really well. The one thing he did not like was the spit suction thingie. Once he was done, he got three stickers and the dentist goody bag (toothbrush, floss and toothpaste).
When he came out, he showed me his shiny white teeth and told him that I was so proud of him. And I am.
Gained 3 pounds from last week. 😯 So now I am 171 lbs. I think it was due to my birthday dinner but I doubt my doctor agrees. I can’t remember my blood pressure but it is normal. My belly is 37 inches so the baby did grow some more. Cervix is still closed but I am 50% effaced. The baby has moved lower so that good news. But my doctor did tell me that it will be a while before the baby gets here. Heart beat still in the 140’s. My blood work came back. I am strep B positive again. So another IV whether I like it or not.
Next appointment: Oct. 24.
TODAY! Wow, another year has passed. Happy birthday to me! It is time to reminisce. (Can you tell I’m getting older? 😆 )
Let’s see…
There were lot of other things along the year that I didn’t include (our trip to Wisconsin Dells in May, the day that the lake in the Dells drained, watched the 3rd of July fireworks, Diego’s numerous birthday parties, etc). But over all, I had a good year. Let’s see what this year will hold for me. 🙂
It was on Friday. I have been out all weekend so I haven’t had a chance to update everyone and I know everyone just sitting on the edge of their seats. 😆
I gained two pounds from four weeks ago. So now I am at 169 lbs. Not sure why only two because I have been on an ice cream binge lately. 😆
My bp was 118/69 (or something like that) so it is normal. Doctor measured my belly and it was 35 inches. Baby’s heart rate was in the 140’s. He checked my cervix and it is still closed. He thinks it will be a while before the baby comes. Everything looks normal and he is very happy about my progress. I also got some blood work done. I’ll probably get my results on Friday.
Now my appointments are weekly. 😯
I was just waiting for a few days to pass before writing this post. The bad news: Cubs lost. They just collapsed. So, so sad! The good news: I’ll be getting a refund for my tickets. 😆 It is just so heart wrenching that the team couldn’t even win ONE, just one. That is all. Make us Cub fans a little happy. But no, they just collapsed. At least the Sox didn’t make it either (at least they won ONE game) so we don’t have hear it from anyone.
Well, at least we still have the Bears. GO BEARS!
