34 weeks

I am wearing pre-pregnancy clothes here!
Today, my mom and I went to "interview" a pediatrician. The practice is the one I went to when I was little! I think it seems nice and doctors seem very knowledgable.

Pregnancy and a cold

I have heard of women falling ill the last few weeks of pregnancy.....Well guess, what?! I have a cold. Blah.
It really wouldn't be that bad if I could take a Tylenol Cold....but pregnancy and cold medicine do not mix. I'm recovering in bed. This is my view....

7/25/12 and the Monitor

I was at the Dr today and he hooked me up to the fetal monitor to check the baby's movement.
The video is very quiet...but if you listen close you can hear his heartbeat!

Fluid in bladder.
Lungs look healthy.
Baby opened his mouth-no cleft palates.
Faint hairs on head-could mean light hair.
Eyes open and close. We saw his eyelids.

Labor and Delivery Floor Tour

July 11, 2012
We had our tour of the LD/Maternity floors. They just showed us the rooms and handed out paperwork. The most exciting part of the tour was the woman that had a giant owl tattoo on her calf.

Heat....

The past couple of days I have been having a rough go of things. Temperatures reached 107 degrees and my heavily pregnant body didn't respond well to it. Last Thursday I was lunching at Mona Mi Gabi with my girlfriend Suzie, we walked briefly around the mall....I ended up getting very sick. I was in bed the rest of the evening with nausea and dizziness. I stayed inside all weekend due to the heat and that incident. Sunday, Nick and I went to church-while there I got "black eyes" and almost passed out. I took communion and we went home. I was in bed the rest of the day. Later in I developed cramps and bad back ache. I called Dr. M today, as I am severely opposed to the ER. I am in the Dr's office now with the monitor attached to check his movement and heart. He checked my cervix and that is fine. So far so good.

4th of July

The Gio and Caputo families came together to celebrate 4th of July this year. Baby C has a new cousin, Ella born 6/29/12 that was there to celebrate too! When I held Ella, baby C was kicking up a storm!

30 week ultrasound

Today we had our 30 week ultrasound! Baby C is big! He is measuring at 32 weeks and almost 4 lbs. Dr. M said that his head is very big and his legs are veryyyyy long! He was making a sucking reflex and puckering his baby lips. I'm so in love with him!
I think he has the Giovannelli nose, lips and chin!

Amazing

The most amazing thing I have ever felt, is when our baby moves!
