7 Months!

Today I went to my new Dr. Here in New York! I saw the nurse practitioner because that's just the way they do first visits. She was very nice and gave me lots of info about their practice and what's to come in the weeks to come. I am measuring a week ahead at 29 weeks! Heart rate was normal along with my blood pressure. All in all a good appointment. I got my whooping cough vaccinations. Ouch! My arm hurts so bad :( To all my current prego followers I suggest you get one while you are pregnant. Studies show that the antibodies from the vaccination reaches the baby. And since your baby won't get vaccinated right away for this it will help protect him/her. Also be sure your partner gets one to! Anyway, back to my appointment. The NP also wants me to see a perinatologist (high risk dr) in a few weeks for a growth scan and to meet with one of the specialists there. Everything is normal with both me and Emma but because I am on metformin and Prozac she wants them to make sure all is ok. So I will call them after I finish this entry. She gave me a to do list since my pregnancy brain is so bad. I have to make that appointment, pre register at the hospital and set up parenting/childbirth classes. Feeling lots of new symptoms this past week. My hands and feet are swelling often and tingling. This can be very painful. My wedding ring is tight sometimes and others it fits like a glove. Another symptom, I get extremely out of breath very easily. I feel like it takes me an hour to get up our steps. I can for sure tell I have hit the 3rd trimester. My energy has dropped off and I am moving at a snails pace most of the time. I wish I could just fall into my bed and sleep for a week! We all know that doesn't happen when you are this far in! I'll settle for a cat nap here and there. :)

Unpacking has gone great. My entire upstairs (living, dining and kitchen) is done! Put away and decorated! The bedrooms are downstairs and are mostly complete. I have a few pictures that I need the hubby to hang and a few bathroom items to unpack. The only thing left for unpacking is the garage. Lots of miscellaneous stuff in there that needs to go in the storage unit out back. Mostly tools and crap. We also have an old couch in there that I need to put on Craigslist. We just have no room for it.

I have spent most of the last few days working on Emma's room! Fun stuff I tell ya! I can't get enough of all that cute stuff. I have washed clothes, sheets, blankets and all the burp cloths. Everything is folded and put in its correct spot! The crib is up and decorated. I also put together lots of stuff, bouncer, swing, stroller, car seat, changing table and the bassinet. We have everything set up and ready just in case she decides to make an early arrival! Lets pray she doesn't though. I packed most of her stuff for the hospital. I need to figure out a few more outfits though for her hospital pictures. One of them is going to be this cardinals baseball dress my friend made (big Cardinals fan!). I ordered this adorable bow from etsy to go with it. Etsy can be very addicting! I have a few pictures of the nursery but ill post better ones when it's complete. :)

This weekend all we have planned is finishing the house and unpacking the garage. We may take a trip to the city for some sight seeing if we finish early. I hope you all have a great Holiday weekend.

Here are some pics! The pups think all of these new soft toys are for them! Lol
