Update from Doc. appt. 12/19/08

Well, So I thought I was going to have just a regular appt. everything was going to be wonderful. Well, not what I thought. I have now gained 7 more pounds which is not bad considering the last 2 appts have been 10 or over! So totally now I have gained 33 lbs. Not to bad.. just means I will have probably gained over 40 by the time the baby does arrive. More exercise for me. On another note my belly was measuring at 24 inches the last time I was at the doc which was Thanksgiving. Well, I now am measuring at 32! He is a bit concerned that I have to much fluid around the baby. I am retaining fluid in my legs as well. Which I have been for a long time now, but I just feel like I did get the big over night. I told Darren that I though something felt strange when I woke up. So. I have another ultrasound Tuesday at 1. They are going to see how much fluid is around the baby and also check to see if my lovely little free loader cyst is back. I had a cyst before I got pregnant. And lately my side has been hurting again. I told Dr. B and he said well we can check it out now with the ultrasound. He also thought that it may just be the scaring from my endometriosis as well. Guess we will find out on Tuesday. The babies heartbeat was the same as last. 148. Darren claims that the reason I am so big is that it is a boy and it is taking after him!! I guess whatever he wants to think he sure can! I now have no more guessing at it. I just have no clue what it is. My thoughts have been completely tangled so.. Who knows. I also have my gestational diabetes test Jan. 5. With all this growing and fluid and thirst that I have been having, it just seems to me that this would be the cause of my problems. So.. we will see. I wished I could have had the test next week but Dr. B will be gone! again!!

I am sure everyone got our Christmas card. The dogs obviously didn't care what I did to them. Macy was pretty funny as always.. Darren was crying, he was laughing so hard. At one point of time she put her head down and laid down with the cap over her eyes like, Mom why are you doing this to us... here is a picture of that.. Pretty funny!

Also, we have done lately was, we went to Brianna and Nolans Christmas concert at church. It was so cute! The kids did really good! I was glad we went. Kids do the funniest things these days! Other than that, I better get something done today. I am not thinking that we are going to go to the DM&E Christmas party tonight. Think we are suppose to get a blizzard! So we will probably just stay in town, go to bingo and act like we are 90 years old today :) Happy Holidays. Love the LeGares.
