Holy Huge Head in my Ribs!

34 weeks today and not much to write home about. My Dr. appointment was absolutely forgettable. He did seem very unhappy with the breech princess. He said he'll give it 2 more weeks and then we get to pick her birthday!

Nursery is finally painted pretty and pink! It's very cute. We made a good choice.

I'm still not sleeping well and no sleep + 16 five year olds = terrifying at 7:30 in the morning.

I have to share that I made my craziest pregnancy purchase thus far...I have been craving ice and peppermint for some odd reason. So I'm in BJ's buying in bulk and I run across a bag of 500...yes 500 peppermint candies. The only logical thing to do at the time is to indulge the craving and buy the 500 peppermints so I could eat....2. That's all. So if anyone is on the lookout for peppermint candies, Casa de Carney has a lifetime supply.

So, other than that, nothing much to report. I'll be spending most of my time standing on my head...and waiting. The word of the week is...TURN!

Breech Babies and Bedrooms

Ok so I had my 32 week appointment today and.....still breech! I knew she was. I can feel her head digging into the top of my belly. My doctor said we give it until 35 weeks and then we talk about either turning her or doing the big C! If he tries to turn her, it will be at 36 or 37 weeks. It's done in the hospital and I would be prepped for surgery just in case something goes wrong and they have to get her out. There's a 75% success rate and if she turns I would be induced that week. If I choose not to do the procedure, we schedule a C-Section for 39 weeks...or maybe she'll just turn on her own! That would be nice but she hasn't moved the whole time...stubborn baby! So it's starting to look like we're not having and April baby. Stay tuned!
The nursery is in progress! We have 1 pink wall and the furniture is assembled and very cute. Now we just need to decide to paint the rest of the nursery pink or spice up the other walls a bit.

30 weeks

I just realized it's been a month since I wrote anything...where does the time go? I'm sure all of you have given up on the Baby Carney blog by now. Nothing really new to report. She is still breech :( For some reason, she likes where she is. The doctor gives her 5 more weeks to turn. I have doubled my weight, not real happy about that. I was doing very well until Christmas came along. Oh well, what's a pregnant girl to do? My sugar was also high this month. Dr wasn't real thrilled about that. OOPS! Other than that, not much to report. She has dropped and is sitting on my tail bone I believe. It's killing me. My belly vibrates now. She moves and the whole thing shakes! Ha!

Baby Love

Here is our little chubby cheek girl! I do have to say she is awfully cute! I can't stop looking at her. She was very hyper this morning. Of course I did have a cup of hot chocolate and a can of coke before I went. She dozed off while we were taking her pictures but woke back up and put her hands in front of her face. Then she started playing with her cord, which was kind of disturbing to me but we were told it's normal.

The moment of irony for the day...she doesn't have any hair! Go figure!

Daddy Kisses!

Ok, so we registered today! It was quite an experience. My mother and Ada were there to help me and I'm very thankful. We spent 3 hours walking around BRU! I was seeing two of everything by the time we finished. I am now registered at Babies R Us and Target. We're still trying to decide on a room theme. I was first thinking pink walls and now I'm thinking maybe green.
On to other things. She is kicking up a storm these days. She loves it when her daddy talks to her. He kissed my bump yesterday and she kicked right where he kissed. She definitely likes his voice and his kisses...just like mommy :)
We cannot decide on a name. While I won't disclose the names we are fighting over yet, I love both of them and he likes one of them. I don't know what the outcome will be but...I usually get my way!
We have our 4D ultrasound on Saturday, very exciting! I hope she cooperates and I hope we can find out how big she is. I've definitely been eating more these days. I just can't wait to step on the scale at the Dr. this week. My new cravings are chewy sweet tarts, hot chocolate, and anything salty.
So, hopefully we'll have some pictures to show off next week, just in time for Christmas!

Perfectly Breech Baby!

Ok, so we went to the doctor today and found out that the ultrasound was perfectly normal...phew!
It looks like she's cooking well in there. She's moving and kicking up a storm these days. She especially likes it when I sit down to teach. She bounces up and down on my bladder. I think she's reminding me to give the little rug rats a bathroom break. She loves the night life also. As soon as I lay down in bed she wakes up. Is this a sign of future things to come? All I know is she's stretching muscles I never knew I had in there and sleeping still isn't quite as enjoyable as it used to be. All I want for Christmas is a body pillow and a prenatal massage.

P.S. She's breech. The doctor says about 50% are at this point and about 97% get into position by 36 weeks. I sure hope so!

Barney's Big Announcement!

We've joined Team PINK! I am very surprised. I thought for sure it was a boy. I guess my intuition stinks! We are thrilled with our surprising news! I can't wait to buy something pink! Jay better watch out. I don't know if he can handle two of me! Isn't she cute? We're in love already. Jay was amazed that we were actually watching a person and she was waving at us. I think we were bothering her. She hid her face at the very end. She must've been napping. She is definitely my child.
