Today was Juliana’s next checkup. We got there a few minutes early to give the staff there the new insurance information. I then filled out the assessment of her progress so far. It asked if she is starting to sound out “words”, crawling and things of that nature. I am happy to report that she is able to do all of the things listed on the paper. We went back and the nurse did some measurements. Juliana’s head circumference is 18 inches. She is now 29 inches long. She weighs 21.8 pounds. The doctor discussed her doing wonderfully for her age. Dr. Harris was quite impressed that she will clap when we talk about clapping. She also enjoyed looking at herself in the mirror. Over the next few months, he would like us to add some more foods into her system. Eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt are next on the list and by 11 to 12 months, she will be on milk. She got one immunization today. She cried for a minute, but by the time she got dressed and we went to check out, she was already back to her happy little self.

She is such a wonderful baby and many people are amazed at what she can do at 9 months old. I also talked to the doctor about how she is doing a great job at crawling and seems like she wants to start walking soon. Speaking of walking, she is enjoying her new walker. She is quite happy going around the house in her Jeep Liberty Renegade. I will hopefully get pictures on here of her in the walker. We were out over the weekend and friends were quite shocked at how well she behaved. She did not cry at all. They discussed that if they did not see me holding her and feeding her, then they would have never known she was in the room. I am so glad to have a wonderful and happy baby. I know we are truly blessed with her and am glad she continues to progress at different milestones. I may be partial, but I think she is the best baby in the world and I can’t picture my life without her.

Hope to post again soon. Hopefully more exciting updates to come. Until then, happy reading.

Well, had my next appointment today. Things are going well. The baby seems like it is moving down a little bit. I got through with my appointment and since my doctor will be on vacation the next 2 weeks, I am going to see the doctor who is covering for him. Dr. Kim thinks that I will not go into labor until he is back from vacation, but we will see how that goes.

I was given my paperwork for the C-Section that is scheduled for Sept. 29th. I have to get some stuff done beforehand and once that blood work and such is done on Sept 27th, then we are good to go for the 29th. I cannot believe that the baby is only 3 weeks away. I am hoping that we can get all the details finished before the baby comes. Well, hopefully I will post again next week. I am going to see the doctor next Monday. I will keep all posted of any news going on in the baby world. Until then, enjoy the post.

Well, I have not posted in a few days. Things have been really busy and I have been wiped out. School started for the kids, I am still working and going to the different doctor’s appts. are keeping me busy. I went to the doctor on Tuesday. Things are going well. My pressure was a little high, but nothing major. I had to go for some bloodwork and should be getting the results today.

Today was my last ultrasound. It was kind of a bit sad just thinking that this was the last time we would be going up there to get the video and pictures of the baby. The baby is progressing nicely. The heart and lungs were strong. The baby has been very active. We were told the baby is about 7lbs now.

After the ultrasound, we grabbed breakfast and then headed down to meet with the pediatrician and lactation specialist. I really like the doctor we went with. He informed us of what will go on once the baby is born. Speaking of the baby being born, my due date is Oct. 2nd, but at my last appt., Dr Kim said that if I do not go naturally within the next few weeks, they have a scheduled C-Section for Sept. 29th. So, we are definitely going to meet this little one this month. I am getting excited and ready, but a bit nervous as well. I want to do my best with this little one and I know we have family and friends to support us.

Well, hopefully I will post again soon. I go to see the doctor weekly now, so any new updates and I will try to post them on here. Until then, enjoy the post.

Well here they are everybody.  I’ve uploaded two pictures from today’s 4-D ultrasound.  The first one is a profile picture of the baby, and the second one is the same picture edited with the locations of the features present in the picture. 

Please feel free to comment below.

Just wanted to make a quick post. Things are going well. I went for my next ultrasound today. It was really cool and pretty amazing to see how this tiny being can be inside of me and wiggling around. The doctor said that things are progressing very nicely. It is always good to hear. It makes me feel calmer. I used to worry in the beginning that something would go wrong because of the past miscarriages. I would try not to worry, but it was always in the back of my mind.

The baby is doing well and is actually about 3lbs 4ozs now. Everything looks normal and healthy that she can see so far. She actually said that the baby may end up to be around 9 pounds if it keeps growing at this rate. It was awesome to see the baby in 3D. We actually not only got the video, but she also printed out a picture for us as well. I like going to this doctor for the ultrasounds. She is wonderful. She said I should only be there about 2 more times. It is kind of weird and amazing to think that the baby will be coming soon.

Jason is going to put the picture up of the baby. It is not the perfect picture since I am only 28 weeks and the baby was further back, but it is still awesome. Well, hopefully I can post again soon and every can enjoy the blog. My next doctor’s appointment is July 28th and my next ultrasound is August 7. I can’t wait. Also, I got great news that my sugars are still doing well and I do not have gestational diabetes.  I just have to continue what I am doing. Well, until then….happy reading.

Well, it was a busy weekend. I had to go for the glucose test. It was only the one hour test, so it was not too bad. I had one done before. Hopefully the doctor will say it is still within a good range. But I am doing my best to stay away from sugars and salts and caffeine as well. But, I have always tried to do that, even before getting pregnant.

I go for my next ultrasound on Tuesday. It is always so wonderful to see more and more things. I feel calmer knowing that this baby is still strong and healthy. I am also excited because now that I am 28 weeks she can try to do the 3D ultrasound that looks more like a photograph rather than the snowy picture.

My next doctors appointment is towards the end of the month. I can’t wait until Oct to see the little one in person. It will be so wonderful. I have been so tired the last week or so. At least there won’t be as much running around with the kids now that softball. Well, happy reading and I will post more again soon.
