The doctor last week went well...no changes to report and everything looks in order...well there is one detail actually that came up that I am a little concerned about, but I am trying to remain calm...mini is currently breach (head up not down)...supposedly she can flip up to 32 or 34 weeks. We are currently at 27 weeks. So none of the other kids were ever flipped the wrong way. I blame the fact that I am walking around is confusing mini...This picture is a 4-D picture from my last visit...she looks good...although Kaylyn said the picture scared her...
I go back to the Dr. on April 6th, we will see if I am to continue on this vertical path or not...I think I will...but man I am sick of working and my back is really starting to bother me...I will update after the Dr. appt...
Oh one other thing, I thought I had the name pretty much settled on, but then I had a run in with a weird chewing man at Chick-fil-a and his daughter's name was the name I was considering...that isn't a good enough reason to change the name is it? I am nuts...
Peace-

26 weeks! Still vertical, and feeling pretty good...it is weird to feel her moving when I am standing up! I am not used to that sensation at all. It feels very different when you are laying down...also since I am still able to work and do stuff I almost feel guilty when I know she is moving around, but I ignore it. With Kaylyn and William it was like every time that they moved around I would be laying on my couch (most likely) so I would lay there and put my hands on my belly or maybe talk to them, or something...with this one (aka mini)I am just like heeeeeyy, but then quickly go back to whatever I was doing...that is probably what most normal prego ladies do I guess.
So I go to the Dr. on Monday, and I have to drink that sugar drink to make sure I don't have gestational diabetes and that I wont have an 11 pound baby (that is what gestational diabetes does, big A babies)...I am actually taking Monday off from work (whoo whoo)and getting my hair cut before my Dr appt and going shopping after my Dr appt...Mrs Tony (aka Tony the Tiger)the babysitter is going to come so I dont have to tote any kids with me...should be fun...I am just hoping there are no changes with my good old friend the cervix...
I will update on Monday! Peace!

As promised...I am posting my Dr update...

All is well! OMG! My cervix has not shortened since my last appointment 2 weeks ago...my Dr. said I am ok for the next 2 1/2 weeks (that will be my next appt) and we will see what is going on then...So I am still on for work and grocery store etc....

Oh, I don't think I have ever mentioned that I am not allowed to pick anything up...ok, so maybe you are like no biggie...it is hard, and super annoying...I mean I cant pick up anything...like if there is food on the floor that I want to wipe up, nope, my Dr told me in regards to picking things up off the floor, "you mind as well go to the gym and do squats"...so I wasn't really listening to her about not picking things up until the cervix shortening, so now I am super strict with myself...let the embarrasing stories begin...

So the other day I dropped Kaylyn off at school and William and I went to the store, and he was like, "I want to get in the basket", so I told him (like I do about 10 times a day) I can't pick you up...but I thought this would be alot easier if he was in the basket, so I asked the shopping cart guy to put him in...it was a little embarrasing, but not too bad...then it came time to find someone to get him out of the basket, that was a little more embarrasing...I asked this lady in front of me that had a kid, and she kinda looked at me like, #1- how did he get in? #2-that I was a fat lazy woman...but she got him out, so mission accomplished I guess...

I mean when I asked these people to get him in/out, it's not like I want to give them the background as to why...so I just say, I can't pick him up, can you put him in/take him out? I don't know I think I need to perfect how I ask...I guess I have several weeks to practice...
