Happy Thanksgiving!!
All year needs to be a time of thinking about what you have, appreciating who is around you and what you have accomplished. This Thanksgiving, I am thankful to have a healthy growing handsome boy in my belly!!! I could not ask for anything more :-) Hard to believe next Thanksgiving he will be 8 months old!
John and I are heading to my Mom's for dinner! John is currently making corn bread ... and I need to straighten my hair and figure out what the heck I am going to wear! Lately, nothing really is fitting....so maternity shopping is a must again :-)
Wishing everyone and my baby boy a healthy day and healthy year!
Love,
Erin

Kicking and Rolling at 3am!
Dear handsome,
Mommy loves you and was anxiously waiting for you to kick/roll and move around like a acrobat.....thank you for letting me know you are in there! But, can we work on the time? 3:30am was way to early! haha....it's okay though, your just prepping Mommy for what is to come!! So, bring it on because I need to get use to it!
Love you and keep moving!!

Blood type, good news and a little extra
So, yesterday I went to have my glucose test done at U of M, on top of doing that, I had to do all my prenatal blood work as well.....so I was eager to hear the results back from the nurse. Surprisenly, I was very nervous about getting the results back from the glucose tolerance test. I really did not want gestational diabetes....but I stay positive and whatever comes my way....comes my way.
I talked to the nurse today and she said everything looked great, my sugar blood level was 127 which she said was good. She also told me my blood type is O + which I never knew!
However, she said my Iron was low and I need to get on a iron supplement, so I will start those tomorrow. I am happy though I do not have gestational diabetes. :-)
Little handsome is beginning to show me he is moving in there! The other day, I felt something stronger then gas.....and has kicking for a few minutes! I could not believe it, even though it was not that long, I will always remember the first Kick he game me :-)
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and I am sure little handsome will enjoy the big feast!!
Love,
Erin

Flutters and Tickling
Sorry for the delay of not writing for a while.....but I have been so busy and also sleepy....so finally I am back on board :-)
2 days ago (November 10th) I started to feel him in my belly, I have been waiting and waiting for him to tell me "he is in there" haha. But, it's more like a tickle about 3 inches above my belly button. I thought it was just indigestion at first but it kept happening in the same spot even after hours of eating. He moves a lot I think after I eat though because those flutters/tickles really take over after I swallow my first bit of food at each meal. We have a kid with a big appetite on our hands I think :-)
Next week I have to drink that Glucose orange drink then head to the blood bank to check and see if I have Gestational Diabiets which I really hope I do not....but I will take whatever comes my way.
Other then that, I am still enjoying prenatal yoga, class has gotten a little smaller because of their close due dates, so sad to see them leave but for a happy reason. No cravings still.....will I ever have one?
Drinking water seems to be my only struggle. I carry a 70oz water bottle with me every day and remind myself the importance of drinking it all + some. I have never been a big drinker....so this is something I am getting use to.
I found a few stretch marks on my lower abdomen/side the other day ... I thought i was not going to get any due to the fact my Mom never had them and I was 23 weeks into this with nothing.....I do lather up all the time with Palmers Belly Cream.....but does that stuff really work? I think it's just a mind game....but you never know. I still do it anyway :-) Makes me feel better!
My Mom and I are discussing when we will have the baby shower which is something I am looking forward too. Exciting to be able to see my family who I never get to see ....and they can see my growing belly too.
November 27th my Mom is coming to Ann Arbor and we are going to begin my Registry, so a fun girl day indeed! I'm thinking of Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us? Do I really need to register at 2 stores if they are basically the exact same?
John and I have come up with 2 names so far which we really like......we hope to come up with 1 more so we have a few options when we see our handsome baby in just a little over 15 weeks!
More later!!!
Love,
Erin and Baby
