We had a sonogram and dr appointment today. I think I mentioned last time that we go every two weeks now. Colton weighs approximately 2 lbs 11 oz and all his measurements were in good shape. He's a healthy growing boy that is for sure. He was so cute, we could watch him yawn, then he would move his lips like he was talking away. He did that nearly the entire time. And we got to see his eyes move once. He is in the breach position. His head is way up high so hopefully he will get turned around. The sonograms just amaze me. How lucky we are to get to see him like this. I cannot wait for our 3D/4D sonogram, which is scheduled and just around the corner! I don't think I mentioned what I had gained in the last post. At the last appointment two weeks ago I had gained about another 5 pounds from the appointment a month before it. I haven't gained these last two weeks but all is in good shape. So far I've gained a total of 15 pounds and should expect to gain about 10 to 15 more total she says. I was given the Rhogam shot today since I'm RH Negative. It burned a bit but wasn't to bad. Blood pressure is good and no protein in the urine so no preclampsia yet! Next appointment is in two weeks and we have another sonogram. We actually get one at each appointment now (I guess since I am high risk for the preclampsia). I was concerned at first but then I reminded myself that he is growing as should be and I'm in okay shape so it's just precautionary. I shouldn't complain about getting to see the little guy!!!
I had my first braxton hicks contractions or atleast felt the first ones the other night. I explained how it felt to the dr and she said, yep, it was braxton hicks alright. My stomach got real tight and sudden, extreme pressure on my lower back. It was pretty darn intense but only lasted a few minutes then quit. It did it one more time then was done. And a few times at the gym these last couple of weeks while working out I'll get a pinched feeling on the lower left side of my back. I have to quit what I'm doing because it HURTS and kinda paralyzes me for a few seconds. Dr said thats the siatic nerve feeling pressure. I guess another symptom to add to the list. My list really isn't long so I'm not going to complain! I've been pretty fortunate with an easy pregnancy.
As mentioned above the 3D/4D sonogram is scheduled. We are going to do it at the 30 week point. My mom, Brian's mom, and his sister are driving here for it. It should be fun and I'm glad that they get to experience it with us! I'm getting ready to find a pediatrician. I've been asking around so we should have one picked soon. Next weekend is our maternity ward tour at the hospital and I'm planning to take a baby CPR class. I'll probably get it scheduled this upcoming week for sometime in later March or early April. I'm on the fence about a breast feeding class. There is so much information online and the hospital has lactation specialists who spend time with you after he is born. So I don't know if paying and taking up a Saturday is worth it. Anyone take a class and feel it was worth it??
Here is a picture of Colton. It's his face. You can see the shadows around his eyes, his nose then his open mouth, lol. It's kinda hard to make out. He wouldn't stay still long. He's an active boy, haha.
Thats about it for now. It's dinner time. Colton is moving and hungry! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
