Somedays I feel like it was just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant and others it feels like I have been pregnant forever! We are on the downhill strech and have about 60 days to go.
Today I had another check-up with the doctor. Gunnar decided to be uncooperative and he made the appointment last way longer than it should have. I was all hooked up to the fetal heart monitor and they had me moving all over the table for a good 10 minutes trying to find his heart beat. They would hear it for a second then he would quickly move and we wouldn't be able to hear it anymore. The doctor was ready to see me, so I moved to the other room for an ultrasound.
Dr. Schwind said everything is good and that Gunnar is above average in size, but is very healthy. We had a very hard time getting a clear picture of him because he would not stop moving. Gunnar weighed in at 2050 grams which is about 4 1/2 pounds. We had a much longer than normal ultrasound because they all enjoyed watching him move around so much. We saw him grab the umbilical cord, suck on his fingers, yawn, open and close his eyes, do a somersault, and we saw (I felt) many punches and kicks. They didn't give us a picture this time, but saved the video clip for us for next time. We didn't bring a CD in, we have to wait for the next appointment to burn it.
After the ultrasound we went back to the fetal heart monitor were he still refused to be heard. I had three people gathered around me trying to find the little stinkers heart beat. Finally after putting me in the most uncomfortable position, and having me hold the monitor in the correct place firmly we got a heart beat. I was told I had to stay like this for fifteen minutes, but Gunnar insisted on not letting us hear him and kicked the monitor I was holding and was moving so much that we never could get a good reading, and I only had to stay uncomfortable for about five minutes. Kyle had moved his chair over by my bed and was sharing my pillow with me, and slept through all of this. The nurses had a good laugh at him.
I have felt pretty good, expect for this never ending heart burn. It has actually gotten much worse and I haven't been able to keep food down for the last couple of days. Well, come to find out milk is now off limits, and may be a major colporuit in this heart burn...a sad day for me! I love milk and this will be a very hard change. He also gave me a prescription to help. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I hardly slept at all last night because of feeling so sick, and not sleeping doesn't go over well when I spend my day with 20 kindergartners.
In other news, Kyle's eyes seems to feel much better. He has good days and bad days when it comes to seeing, but we were told that it is normal. He is currently standing out our window with his new airsoft gun (that looks very real) shooting to test it out. I am waiting for the military police to be showing up anytime.
I started my master's and am already wanting to quit. It isn't hard, but very difficult for me to be doing online. I am much more of a go to class person. This first class is only 3 weeks so I am suffering through it and will take a break until after the baby for my next class. Only 2 more weeks left, I can't wait for it to be over.
I will try and get some new pictures posted soon. I am not feeling up to a picture today as I am just exhausted. I think instead I will go take a bath and then watch the latest 24!
