The Ragland's

Reagan's Room- Almost finished....

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Since the Shower, I have been working hard to get the room organized and in order. I'm not completely done. I still have to pick out curtains and paint the changing table to match the other furniture. You can get the general idea of the look I am going for though. It is all coming together!

Baby Shower!

First of all, I had a wonderful shower on February 9, 2008. Thanks to all who helped, attended and sent gifts! Reagan is definately off to a great start! I love you guys!

This was taken a few weeks ago..

She said my glucose test was fine. At two months I was anemic. I have been taking an iron pill in addition to my prenatal vitamin. She said that my iron was stull wayyyy low so now I have to take an iron pill in the morning, prenatal at noon, and iron pill at night!! No wonder I have been feeling really bad lately. Being that anemic can make you tired and have headaches. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon!

SeVeN MtH cHeCk-Up

Yesterday, I went for my check up at 9:45. I had to drink the yucky super sweet orange drink. Sorta like Sunkist x 4! It was gross, but I managed to gulp it down. I felt a little uneasy after drinking it but nothing too bad. An hour later, I almost passed out when the lady came into the waiting room and yanked my are up and proceeded to take my blood. I felt dizzy and broke into a cold sweat.....sheesh! Anyway, had a bigger jump in weight this time. Not to bad at all, the doc just remined me that the Holidays were over and to get back on my normal eating routine. I asked her if I was having twins or a huge baby or something because everyone seems to think I am huge, which I am in the belly. She ensured me that my weight and measurements were right on the money. She told me to tell everyone that pregnant woman come in all shapes and sizes. I just so happen to be one who carries all out front. She said it definately has its positives and negatives. Positive being that my hiney isnt spread from here to china and I dont have alot of extra everywhere else, Negative being that my back will hurt (and it has been, my sciatic nerve kills me) and stretch marks, since I already know how badly I got them with Kullen. I have been lathering myself in four different lotions so maybe that will help! Because of my history with preterm labor and the pressure already on my cervix, she is going to see me every two weeks now, and she will start checking me. Here is where modesty takes the back burner and about fifty people see your stuff--oh well, better to be safe than sorry. If there is a problem I would like to know ahead of time and not when it occurs. I talked to her also about my swelling. My blood pressure was fine and there was no protien in my urine, so that rules out preeclampsia or however its spelled, lol But she said I should walk a little, (not power walk or walk alot) just a few laps to have a little exercise. I am going to go the Highway dept and walk a few laps after work everyday. She also said to watch sodium!!! I will be a busy girl, getting things ready for her big arrival and being as healthy as I can be! Everyone keep your fingers crossed that my cervix holds up!!! ;)
I'll keep you updated!

6mth Baby Update!

Yesterday, I had my 6mth check-up. It was at 2:30 and I didn't even get back to nearly 4! The office was insane, people were everywhere, pregnant woman were grumpy....and so on....I didn't complain though. I think something about the holidays makes offices and people in general lose thier dang minds...Anyway, everything with the baby was great. I only gained three pounds..Which is wonderful! I hope to keep up the good work...She is going to start checking me at 30 weeks since I had preterm labor with Kullen. She doesn't think that it will happen to me again, but she wants to check just to be on the safe side. The Baby's heart rate was 140bpm. She has been moving and stretching alot here lately...Mainly after I eat....Probably because everything I eat including french fries have to be eaten with jalapeño peppers!!!!
