Doctor Appointment

Today I had my regular two-week appointment with Dr. Richter. Kevin was not able to make it, since he was busy building a fence, trying to bring home some extra money before Hunter comes. I am so lucky to have a husband that works so hard to provide for Hunter and me :) Once again, Hunter was stubborn and it took a few tries before Dr. Richter was able to find his heartbeat. She also measured my fundal height, and again he was right on target with 32 cm. I have one more two-week appointment on August 17th, and then I start my weekly appointments. We’re getting close!!! On my way out of the office, I scheduled the rest of my appointments with my last one being the day before Hunter is due. It would be nice if Dr. Richter told me at that appointment to head on over to the hospital! We shall see!!!

32 Weeks...Getting Closer

Yesterday Kevin took my picture at 32 weeks, and as you can see Hunter is definitely growing!!! Even though I am not completely uncomfortable yet, I am definitely ready for him to be here!!!

Sneak Peek

Kevin and I had a very exciting day yesterday! We started off with our regular appointment with Dr. Richter. This one was pretty uneventful. She just measured my fundal height, which was 30 1/2 cm. Again, Hunter is still right on target for being 30 weeks 3 days. Dr. Richter also listened for his heartbeat, which for the first time she had a difficult time finding. Kevin had a very worried look on his face, but I had felt Hunter moving all morning, so I wasn't concerned. Dr. Richter even said he was moving a lot, and that was the reason she had a difficult time finding the hearbeat. At one point, he actually kicked her heart monitor! After awhile of searching, she finally found it and his heart was beating at a healthy 158 bpm. After our appointment, Kevin and I then headed over to the hospital to finish up registering for Hunter's big arrival! We are all set to go on that end, so now its just a waiting game! The last thing on our baby to do list yesterday was to have our 3D/4D ultrasound!!! Our parents were able to come also, and it was the first time the grandparents have been able to hear Hunter's heartbeat and see his ultrasound live. It was very exciting to see Hunter's face and watch him move around. It was a little difficult to get some really good pictures of his face, because he kept his left hand up by it the entire time. I started to worry if he even had a right arm, so the sonographer looked for it and found it down by his private. So, he is definitely already acting like a boy, and I'm afraid I'm going to have a plenty of crazy times ahead of me with this one :) He also kept opening and closing his mouth a lot and stuck his tongue out a few times. One time it actually looked like he was crying or yelling!!! So everyone is thinking we are also going to have a loud, outgoing baby!!! I just can't wait to meet him and see if any of our predictions are right!!!

Here are a couple pictures from the ultrasound...

28 weeks

Kevin and I went to another doctor appointment today. Hunter seems to be doing well. Dr. Richter measured my fundal height, which is at 28 cm so Hunter is growing right on schedule. He also has a healthy heartbeat. Dr. Richter went over the results of my glucose screening and said that I did awesome! My level was at 63, and she explained they are not concerned until it gets near 140. Also they reported my blood pressure was 100/67. She also gave me the good news that I'm now done with blood tests from here on out....YEAH!!! We go back for our next appointment on July 17th, which is also the same day we have an appointment at Peek-A-Baby for our 3D/4D ultrasound :)

Kevin and I also took my monthly belly picture this week, and as you can see, Hunter is definitely growing! I've included the first belly picture that we took at 9 weeks 1 day so you can see the dramatic difference.
