Saying Goodbye to Nani

Mason had a wonderful time with his Nani this week for Christmas. She had to fly out this evening, but I got one last pic of the two of them before she left.

Sweets Check up (30 weeks)

I went to the Dr. for my regular check up this morning and everything looked good except my Dr. told me that I am a little on the small side. I'm not measuring (28) as big as I am in weeks (30 weeks). Cervix is at 3.2, still a good measurement. I was able to see the baby breathing and opening his/her mouth and sticking out its tongue. So cute.

I think my little baby Scott will be a small baby. He/She is weighing in at 3 lbs and apparently has long legs and is skinny. Must be from all of that movement in there. This one is a gymnast. Good news is that the baby is in position and hopefully, he/she will stay that way. :) The sonographer was kind enough to give me another pic, profile this time.

Merry Christmas!

Mason had a wonderful Christmas this year and a special visit from Nani. He opened up all his presents with excitement and has played with each and every one of them. He woke up and ran right over to the tree. He first opened his gifts that were hidden in the Buzz Lightyear stocking. He played all morning and barely wanted to eat anything. With all the excitement going on, there was not time for food!

Twas the night before Christmas...

In preparation for Santa's arrival, we baked him some delicious snowman sugar cookies. Mason did think the plate of cookies was for him so he ate about 4 of them. Luckily, there was plenty more for Santa. He even wore his Mickey Mouse Christmas PJ's for the occasion. And we had a special visitor for this Christmas, Nani!

After Mason was tucked away in his bed, Mr. and Mrs. Claus went to work! We finished wrapping gifts and setting them under the tree.

My artist

Mason played out his creative side today at daycare creating this lovely portrait of his family and Santa. He even included baby Scott to be. I think it is pretty darn good! He also colored around this portrait of himself. I just love this picture of him. He never poses like that for me.

In the clear 3rd Trimester Begins...

Today I had my glucose test on 12/14. It's not so bad going down the hatch, it's the 20 min afterward while I was waiting for the hour to be up so they could draw my blood when it sicks like a rock and turns your stomach. They called me a couple of days later to confirm that everything was just fine! What a relief! All day today Sweets has been tumbling around in there. I'm hoping that the baby is turning upside down instead of being breach like it was on the 7th when I went to see the specialist. When I was there they did a sono workup since that was the first time seeing me and everything looked great. My cervix length was still in tact at 3.4 and baby Sweets weighed in at 2 lbs, 7 oz. And so far I've gained 10 lbs.

Now that I am in the home stretch, it seems like it went by very quickly. I'm going back to the Dr. now every two weeks. My next appt. is 12/28. Stay tuned!
