Blogger FAIL

I totally failed this whole daily or even weekly blogging. I promised myself that I'd try to blog about my pregnancy & keep up with weekly measurements of weight & baby bump growth. Now that I'm at the last leg of my pregnancy (or however that expression goes) it's a bit too late to even back track. BUT if you're a follower of my Instagram (ig) then you'd have been kept updated with the weekly pictures I post of my ever growing belly.

As far as the pregnancy goes, here's a quicky update: Based off my last menstrual period (lmp), my expected due date (edd) is 07/30/2012 which means I'm exactly 36 weeks & 3 days. Or what my iPhone app sees as 37 weeks pregnant & considered full-term (though I thought it was 38 weeks being considered full-term, but what do I know), in which case I can deliver now! BUT based off my first scan or ultra sound (u/s) my due date is 08/10/2012 which makes me 35 weeks exactly (if my calculations are correct). My last Obstetrician (ob) check up I didn't get positive results from my attending physician (Md), why? Well, my urine came out with excessive proteins & my blood pressure was a little high considering I'm only 24 plus I'm pregnant so neither of those are a good sign. My specimens were sent out to the lab to make sure everything is alright, haven't heard back from the Md so I'm assuming everything's just fine? Hoping I don't have preeclampsia. [crosses fingers & toes]. In addition, my Md has ordered another u/s just to make sure the baby is alright because he's not measuring accurately externally (via measuring tape) since he's apparently a lot lower than he was two weeks ago. What does that mean? He wants to come out! The u/s is also to check that there's plenty of amniotic fluid in the womb & that the baby is measuring fine since there's a discrepancy at least that's what's written on the u/s orders from the Md office.

That's pretty much it as far as pregnancy update. I mean if you really want more I could talk about.. pelvic pain, insomnia, excessive weight gain, leg cramps, hip pain, joint pain.. I can go on!

What else have I been doing? As a mother to a 14 month (mos) old or 1 year old (y/o) so it's not so complicated.. trying to keep up with life! Oh, & crocheting! Finished superbaby1's (will be referring to my first born son by this nickname) blanket that I started a little after his birth. Finally! I know! I've also made a few different beanies for superbaby2 (will be referring to our second born son by.. oh you get the picture). Now I'm in the process of crocheting an area rug. Yes, an area rug. Why? Well, buying any area from any store is going to cost 10 times more than making it. Plus, it's a lot more special this way. And.. it will be machine washable!

What else.. superdad is considering signing up with the officers program of the airforce. More on that when he & I talk more about it. Superbaby1 has his own bed now.. causing more of my sleepless nights since I have to check up on him every 15 minutes. I prefer not to but my body has it's own alarm that I cannot fight. After superbaby2 is born superdad is suppose to get a second job or at least have his own account with a hotel which means we'll be staying here in Milpitas & even getting our very own place. Lord knows we need the space on top of the privacy.

Let's see.. dinner tonight is "Crock" Pot Roast.. my very first time making it. Only because our housemate bought excessive amounts of meat for the barbeque we hosted yesterday for no more than 5 people. He bought enough to feed oh.. say 50?! So now we've got meat (beef) up to our noses & I'm trying to find ways to cook them in big bunches! The Pot Roast was a success since I'm an insomniac I started on it at 6am & well.. it was done cooking 3 hours ago which I was able to eat for lunch.

Okay.. so that's it! Until next time!
