oh my!

Has it really been almost a month since I've posted?

Again, this is a good thing. It means I'm moving along with no major issues. Who wants to read a boring blog post?

I'm heading into week 25 on Monday. My next standard appointment is on Tuesday and then on Jan 11 I have an ultrasound to check on the placenta.

I have a coupon for a free 3D/4D session but I haven't yet decided if I want to do it or not. I'm scared we'll see something we shouldn't. I know that is very unlikely since I had a good anatomy scan but I can't help but think we'll see something that just isn't right. They recommend having it done at 28w so there's still time to decide. Those pictures are really cool but at the same time really creepy.

At my last standard appointment I was up 4lbs. Let's hope that doesn't happen again but with Thanksgiving and all the holiday festivities, the scale may just scream followed by the midwives giving me a lecture. We'll see.

Glucose test will be coming up in the next few weeks also. Dreading the results of that. I did a two hour test while I was having infertility tests and I didn't mind the drink at all and I passed that one. That helped rule out PCOS as my potential issue. At least having passed that gives me hope to pass the one hour test.

I've been feeling her move so much and it's very cool. I've been able to put the doppler down for the most part and rely on her movements as proof that she's still hanging out in there happy as a clam. When I do get the doppler out, it usually gets a swift kick from her. It's very cool.

I have a whole list of things to do as I haven't bought a thing, registered anywhere, cleaned out the office for the nursery, signed up for any classes (or doula), and the list of what I haven't done goes on. Sure it will get done but I know why I've put it off. My fear of something going wrong still hangs over my head and I know will continue to until I have her in my arms. Heck, it won't even stop after that but it'll be a different fear altogether.

So little by little we will get through our list. Babies really don't need all that crap to begin with anyway but we will be as prepared as possible. I know come Feb and March we will be running around wondering "why didn't we do this in November?".
