Our OB appt went really well today. Thankfully our little girl measured right on track at 36 cm! Whew! I was a little worried about that! She's still head down (good girl!) and my cervix is nice and closed still. I was able to talk to her about some of our labor questions and feel very reassured with her responses. I like this OB so much! She does think I need to stop working, and I'll admit that I'm glad to hear that. Work has been getting really tough for me lately. I know some women work up until their due dates, but it's just not happening for me. I'll be able to spend the time instead taking care of myself and our babe, cooking healthy meals, taking care of the few things I still have on my to-do list, and putting my feet up. Sounds just fine to me!
Poor Todd has been sick since Friday and I actually had to take him to Urgent Care last night at 2am. They think he might have pneumonia and put him on some meds to hopefully get better. He's slept pretty much all day today, and I think he'll be home the rest of the week. Poor guy--he never complains when he's sick, but I know when he asks if we should go to the hospital in the middle of the night that he doesn't feel good. I just want him to be feeling better by the time our little girl comes!
Think that's about it from here. We have a fun dinner coming up on Sunday with some of our good friends. It's kind of a last before-baby get together. These friends have been so supportive of us during our journey through IF, and then through pregnancy. I'm really looking forward to it!
Love,
Julie

Catching Up
Boy, what a month it's been! I've completely let this blog slide as we've gotten busier, but I've promised friends that I'd get you all up to date! So grab a cup of tea, put your feet up, and enjoy!
Baby Girl Updates:
Our little one has been super active the last couple weeks. Her movements definately feel different as she has gotten bigger and has less room to bounce around in. Instead of lots of pointed kicks and punches, I feel more swooshing actions, and whole body bumps. It's so strange watching my belly bounce up and down, back and forth, and know that our little girl is making it move like that. She's also started getting the hiccups. She's been having them at least once a day, which is another strange feeling. This morning I woke up on my day off at 7am...I thought, hmmm, why did I wake up? Do I have to pee? Nope. Hmmm..and then there it was! Hiccup! What a bizarre thing!
Our OB appointments have been going well too. I have my last every 2 week appointment next Wednesday, and then we'll be going in every week. At the last appointment, she measured a week behind, which does make me a bit nervous. It was a fill in OB, so there's certainly the chance that she just measured differently than my normal one. She wasn't too concerned at this point--said she could feel plenty of baby, and we'll just have to see what she measures next week. Good news is that baby girl is head down, and will hopefully stay that way until she comes!
Shower Updates:
I was lucky enough to have 2 showers put on for this baby girl a couple weekends ago. The first one was a work shower, hosted by some of my lovely colleagues. We had such a nice time eating the delicious food everyone brought, telling stories, and of course, oohing and ahhing over the darling baby gifts people brought. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends at work! One special part of the shower, was when we all went around and talked about our own names--what they mean, how our parents picked them, and what we liked about them. I thought it was really special to learn these intimate details about my friends, and gave some insight into name choosing.
My sister and mom hosted the other shower for me. Some of my girlfriends, family friends, and my mother & sister in-law came to celebrate. Again, it was so nice to be able to visit with everyone, eat yummy homemade pizzas, and admire the darling baby items people brought for our little one. I really feel lucky to have such caring family and friends.
Nursery/House Updates:
I've been busy getting our little girl's room all ready for her over the past couple weeks. Todd and I had most of the furniture purchased and set up months ago (yes, we are planners!) but I had lots of hand me down clothes and then new clothes from the showers to sort though. This last weekend, I washed everything and organized it nicely into her dresser. I also whipped out my label maker to make it really clear what's what (yes, I'm a true 5S'er!) I really like how the room has turned out. We haven't gone with any theme, or colors..it's pretty basic, but I love it. It's fun to sit in the rocking chair and imagine what it will be like in a short while to have our daughter home with us.
Todd's also been busy trying to finish up some home projects before she arrives. We have a new bathroom that we've been working on for awhile now...We had a tile guy take FOREVER tiling, and now that it's finally done, Todd's been hustling to finish the plumbing and get the bathtub, sink, etc all ready. I've been looking forward to laboring in our new shower and started feeling anxious over the last week or two that it might not be done in time. But Todd's put in some late hours and the shower is now ready and he says the tub is getting installed TONIGHT! I can't wait! :)
So, there you go! I'll do my best to stay more update with this site to keep you all in the loop. It's amazing how time flies sometimes, although we certainly have been busy with other family things. We both had deaths in our families, within days of each other, so that was pretty hard. We love and miss you Grammy and Uncle Allen.

Much love,

Strong heartbeat!
Since I'm a nurse, I have my own stethoscope. When I first started feeling her move, I tried to hear her heartbeat with it, but wasn't able to. I've tried every couple weeks to see if I could hear it, but hadn't had much success....Until tonight! I'm working late, and had some down time. My stethoscope was sitting right next to me, and I was getting ready to put it away in preparation for going home. I decided to give it a try and see if I could hear our little girl. I tried in one spot, but only heard my tummy girgling. I tried it in another, and heard a strong, rhythmic beat! I counted to make sure it wasn't mine--and it definately was not! It was so amazing to hear! Even though we've heard her heartbeat at the OB's a handful of times by now, hearing it with my stethoscope, on my own, was just amazing. It's so reassuring and calming and did I mention it was amazing?! :)
I called Todd to tell him the latest, and will be bringing home my stethoscope for him to listen to as well! Now whenever I have any anxiety about how she's doing, I'll be pulling out my stethoscope to check her hb! (I might just start carrying it around in my purse!)
30 weeks today! I can't hardly believe it. We have an OB appt Tuesday, and will be going in every 2 weeks from now on. Fun, fun, fun!
I am so excited to meet our little one! (But sweet girl, you can stay inside and gestatate a bit longer, ok?)
Thanks for checking in on us,
Love Julie

Trip to Triage
I didn't think we'd get to double check the gender of this baby for another 2 weeks, but we've verified that this nugget of love is a girl! Let me back up a bit...
Sunday morning I woke up and pretty quickly felt some low abdominal pain. I decided to watch it and go to work anyway, especially since I was precepting a new nurse and would be able to sit down most of the day. Well the pain kept coming and going all day--it was really dull, and maybe a 2/10 on a pain scale. TMI warning: I also seemed to be having more vaginal secretions, and while I knew it wasn't urine, I couldn't tell if it was just normal secretions, sweat, or the more scary option- amniotic fluid!I wasn't sure if I should call the OB or not, but finally decided to give her a call around 2pm when I was still having pain. Of course, she wanted me to come in, and since it was Sunday I needed to go to the hospital, up to the triage section of Labor & Delivery. Yikes! I was feeling pretty nervous driving up there, but baby girl was kicking away the whole drive up which did reassure me.
The nurses there were great. Go nurses! Smart, professional, caring. They hooked me up to 2 monitors-one to monitor baby's heartbeat, and one to monitor contractions. Baby was doing great--nice strong heartbeat, and still active. The other monitor didn't pick up any contractions at first, but after repositioning me, it started to show uterine activity (i.e. contractions). They said the contractions were not Braxton Hicks contractions; they were "real" contractions. The nurse gave me a medication to stop the contractions, and warned that it would make me feel like I'm shaky, with a racing heart beat. And boy, did it! I felt terrible after a few minutes--very, very shakey. I had forgot that she said it would do that to you, and I was thinking, "gosh, i'm getting nervous!" But then I remembered it was the med. Ugh, no fun at all! It did stop the contractions though. They also did a cervix check, and swabbed me to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid. Cervix looked nice and closed & felt long, and my fluid was not amniotic fluid. Whew. They also had sent some urine to the lab, and it came back with showing some blood in it. So the OB thought that most likely it was a UTI, or kidney stone, or that it could be preterm labor. Since the contractions stopped and everything else looked ok, she decided to give me some antibiotics, send me home, and have me come into the clinic Monday am for an u/s to look at baby, my cervix (to make sure it wasn't shortening-a sign of preterm labor), and my kidneys (to check for stones) and then over to see my regular OB.
Todd and I left the hospital--feeling pretty shaken up, and only partially reassured. We both had these images of a 26week baby being born, and all that that would mean, and were anxious for my u/s to make sure that my cervix was looking ok.
So then Monday, I called to schedule my u/s and dr appt, and was able to get in at 10:30. We had an intern doing the u/s first, and when she checked my cervix it was 3.something cm long...The triage RN had said that if it was under 4, the doc's would probably be concerned. So I felt a little nervous about that, but knew that the experienced tech would be coming back in to recheck her work in a little bit. When she did come back, she remeasured it, and it was over 4cm! Whew!
Everything else looked great. Baby looked fantastic; moving all over the place, waving her hands at us. There was this great moment when we were looking at her profile, and she opened and closed her mouth 3 or 4 times--Todd thought it looked like she was smacking her gums! It was really cute. We asked them to double check gender--and they think more certainly that she is a girl! We also got an estimated weight of her--2lbs, 1 ounce, which is right on target.
My kidneys looked ok too. They couldn't see any stone, but the radiologist said it doesn't mean that there isn't one there. Ultrasound isn't the best technique for visualizing stones, but it doesn't expose the babe to radiation, and so it's the preferred way for pg women.
Off to the clinic we went to see our regular OB...She was super nice, and reassuring. She said we did the right thing by coming in on Sunday and was glad that the baby looked great on u/s. We don't have a definitive answer as to why I was contracting, but the pain is better, and we know it's not the scary possibility of preterm labor. So I'll continue to take my antibiotics, and hopefully we'll get the culture report from my urine back today.
We laid low the rest of the day yesterday, and I"m taking it easy today as well. I'll see if I can get some of our new u/s pictures posted so you all can see how cute she's getting. :)

Belly movements
Yesterday I was taking a nap, with my arm resting over my belly. Baby girl decided to give me a swift kick, and I felt my elbow move! I told Todd about it and wondered if I had been watching my belly, if I would've seen it move. I've heard about how alien-like it is when you can see your baby move from the outside, but we had yet to witness it.
So last night, before bed, I pulled the sheets down to uncover my belly as we talked. She started kicking, and I looked down, and could see my belly move up and down! I could feel her kicking (or maybe head butting, or maybe pumping her arms) on both sides of my tummy, and we could see all of those movements from the outside! It was so strange and bizarre, and wonderfully exciting at the same time.
There really is a babe in there! :)

24 weeks!
It's been a busy month--I can't believe I haven't posted since the 1st! Things have been going well with baby girl, and today we've reached our 24 week milestone! I would like it very much for baby girl to stay inside and incubate for another good 16weeks (well, 15 would be ok too), but it's nice that we've reached the timeframe of viability.
I had the most vivid dream about our baby last night. I dreamed that she was born, and weighed 1.5 lbs (which is about how much she weighs right now), and I was able to take her home (unlike in reality where a 1.5 lb babe would stay in nicu for awhile!). I struggled in this dream to find the right sling, or baby carrying device for her. She was so tiny and I just couldn't get anything to work right for her. We tried all these differnt types of slings, and she just was too tiny for them, and I was afraid she'd fall out! Different friends would stop and try to help me with her, and I just remember feeling like I had 2 left hands when I was holding her. At work (in the real world) I hold babies a lot, and am very comforable with it, and so I was surprised in this dream that I felt so out of sorts!
Also in this dream, Todd and I were taking her to the doctor for her day 2 check up, and they asked me what her name was. I stopped, and realized that we hadn't named her yet! So the rest of the dream was me and Todd talking about names, and trying to decide if our current lead name is the name we really want to use. "Do we really like this name enough? Is this really what we're going to name her??" By the time I woke up, we still hadn't decided on the name, but I think we were leaning towards our current favorite (and yes, I'm going to keep that one quiet!). :)
Funny stuff, dreams are. A bit of my own anxiety coming out perhaps?
She's been a very active girl the past couple weeks. I'm feeling her all the time now, and Todd's felt her a couple times too. It's such a bizarre, fun feeling!
We've started to get some hand-me-down clothes from family & friends, which is so nice. It's been fun to get them washed, and sorted, and maybe this week I'll start to put them in her dresser. Sometimes it's hard to believe that this is really happening...
This month I've also had some reminders of IF, and of all the pain that brings. We've been to a couple functions where there were couples that I know are struggling with IF, and my heart just aches for them. I feel bad for my bump, because I know it hurts to see it, and I can instantly be brought to that back to that same place in my mind. I'm glad that we've been open with our struggle becuase it's allowed others to be open with theirs, and for that, I'm so grateful. I also feel like we've been able to open others' eyes to IF, and I'm glad for that. At work, I'm trying to get IF coverage included in our healthcare plan, and I had 55 other staff members from my floor sign a letter of support for this coverage! My benefits manager was really supportive, and has asked our insurance folks for a quote to add this coverage for 2009. I'll be super excited if it really happens!
So there you go! A month's worth of updates all in one day! We've got an OB appt a week from Tuesday, and I'll be doing the yummy glucose tolerance test. Oh boy. Can't wait for that!
Thanks for checking in. Hope you all are doing well too!

Happy Updates
Hi all,
Thought I'd pop in and give ya'all a little update as to what's going on with the 3 of us these days.
Baby girl has been moving like crazy, and I'm finally feeling her more regularly! It's been so much fun to feel her move & kick! She hasn't been strong enough for Todd to feel her yet, but I hope that's coming soon so that he can feel how awesome it is too!
My belly is really looking pregnant these days. You can't tell so much in my scrubs at work, but when I'm in regular clothes it's definately out there! It's fun to look pregnant now. Everyone has been so great, so excited for us, and I'm just so happy that all of you are able to join us in this part of our journey. I have to admit that it's much more enjoyable than the first part (the IF part) was!
Todd's been busy getting the crib and other furniture ready for the nursery. It's so strange to see a crib in our old office! I love it!
Today is our 4th year anniversary, and we're off to dinner. It's been a wonderful 4 years, with a wonderful man, and I can't wait to bring our daughter into our lives!
Thanks for checking in on us,
Love you all,
Julie
