So the doctor said...

Everything is still looking good. I have gained a total of 36 pounds. WOW! I think that there is 10 pounds in each one of my legs. I did get a little emotional at the doctors office about my back hurting sooooo bad. She prescribed me some anti spasm pills.

I had my work baby shower on Thursday 6/26. Being the person receiving gifts at a baby shower is kind of strange. But Ethan got a lot of towels and washcloths, some more clothes, diapers(they smell so good), and some other things. I had fun but it was kind of weird.

My family baby shower is on 7/13. I am preparing a video surprise for everyone and even though Anne Marie's house is far away I hope everyone can come.

The girls at my work shower were talking about delivering and they freaked me out even more. My friend Elisa just had her baby at a birthing center and she looked happy in all of her pictures. I don't know I will just have to be patient and hopefully it won't hurt too bad.

A Better Doctor Visit





So I went to the doctor yesterday and there was no protein in my urine, my blood pressure was good, and I only gained 2 pounds. The doctor was very pleased with this last visit. She said I looked my healthier than I did last time. So no preeclampsia worries for now. I am so glad she did not put me on bedrest. I still have to keep wearing my pressure hose and take it easy at work and home.
Its funny because Ethan gets moving around like he is fighting a boxing match but when he hears Chris' voice he stops.
I didn't know that babies can tickle you from the inside. One night I was laying on the couch watching TV and I started giggling and Chris asked me what I was laughing at and I told him that Ethan had tickled me. Chris looked at me and said that is weird.
So I can't wait to meet Ethan and I am glad he won't be born too early.

The World's Worst Blogger

Here are the images I promised. Sorry for the delay.

So babies profile is good you can see nose and a foot on the right side of the image.

This still frame made me laugh because Chris' grandma Nancy said that after Chris was born they had no problem spotting him in the nursery because he always had his hand in the air with his pointer finger pointing at the ceiling. Nancy says he was trying to say "I'm number 1" but Chris says he was trying to say "Don't forget me here".

So this picture says we are still to expect a boy. Poor baby with all of those girl cousins he will probably be teased and dressed up.

This foot looks pretty long. I guess he is going to be tall like his daddy.

So here is the 3D image we captured.
The last doctor visit was at the beginning of may and the doctor said I was showing some signs of preeclampsia. I am to see the doctor on June 6th so hopefully she has better news this time.
We decided on a name. Ethan Glenn
This child has become so spunky lately you wonder what the heck they are doing in there.
Anyways I have some 3D images from this past weekend I will enter them on Friday the 6th.
