Day of Appointments!

Yesterday we had our day FILLED, and by filled i mean OVERLOADED with family appointments. The days schedule went as follows:

8:30 am Chloe Vet Appointment - Plymouth
9:40 am Adam Orthodontist Appointment - Maple Grove
Drop dogs back off at home
Adam change pants that Ana spilled coffee all over (oops)
11:00 am Adam Dentist Appointment - Maple Grove
Lunch at Dino's Gyro's
1:00 pm Ana Dr Appointment - Plymouth
2:00 pm Asa Dr Appointment - Maple Grove

WOW, could we pack any more appointments into one day?

So a recap of all of the appointments:

• Chloe has been getting some sores on her tummy which we found out were attributed to allergies (Dr thinks) so we got her some Prednisone which will hopefully do the trick.
• Adam's ortho and dentist appointment both were routine. No problems, no complications.
• My Dr appointment went well. Only gained 2 lbs this month which means total weight gain to date this pregnancy...17 lbs. Last time by this point it was 35 lbs...woah! My tummy is measuring at 33 centimeters. A little lesson i learned yesterday is that for every centimeter you measure from your pubic bone, to the top of your uterus is 1 week of pregnancy. I am supposed to be 32 weeks this Thursday. They allow 2 centimeters on either side of the actual amount of weeks based on your due date. So, as i said, i am supposed to be 32 weeks this Thursday, so i could measure anywhere from 30 cm to 34 cm and still be fairly accurate. They only use this as a guideline to make sure baby is growing at a steady pace. My Dr told me to be prepared to have the baby anywhere from October 4th to October 14th. They calculated my due date as October 4th based on the 1st day of my last period, and changed it to October 6th at my 8 week ultrasound. They changed it again to October 14th based on my 20 week ultrasound. Again, my Dr doesn't have a real exact date, so just told me to expect baby sometime the beginning of October. Nice...Adam and i talked last night and decided we are going to have everything ready and prepared by the 1st of October just in case. I have felt for about two months that this baby will be coming early...just like the feeling i got that Asa wasn't going to be delivered naturally, rather cesarean. Might be maternal instinct, but we will have to wait and see.
• Asa's Dr appointment. Went really well. All of his learning and development stats have him rated at a 15 month level. He weighs 22lbs 3 oz, (50%), length 33 1/2 inches (90%). I looked back at my baby book and when i was Asa's age i weighed 16 lbs. I was a little pip squeak! He had to get shots, which he was SUCH a trooper for! He cried for all of 10 seconds, i picked him up and he got hugs and kisses from mom and dad, and he completely stopped crying. WOW. Then we thought he would fall asleep in his car seat on the way home and we would put him down for a nap. As soon as we got home he was up and running all over the house. No nap for him last night. He just wanted to go nutz. This means he fell asleep at 6:45 for bedtime. We also started NO formula and just whole milk. We did it for his bedtime bottle last night and he took it like a champ. We are going to start weaning him off of the bottle slowly starting now as well. His morning bottle will be in a sippy cup, and will try to to the same for his bedtime bottle as well. The bedtime bottle will be a bit more tricky, but we don't have any worries that it will be done. We have been down to about 2 bottles a day for the past month, sometimes 3 if needed. We also gave Asa peanut butter last night, which we can now give, and no reaction! So far so good with no food allergies!!

I still have to post pictures from Asa's birthday party! We had such a good time. I will have to update on that soon. We have such a busy next month and a half, which is nice because time will go by so fast before baby. My new project has been transferring all of our video camera footage onto our hard drive and burning the footage onto DVDs i am about 1/2 way done burning. Adam and i watched part of one of the videos last night of when Asa was about 3 months old, and he looked at me and said, "aren't you so excited for the baby?" We ARE! I can't wait to find out if it is a little boy or girl. I have 12 friends who are pregnant, and of the 12, 6 have found out the gender, and all 6 are having girls. I figure the odds might be against us, and we might end up having another boy. Either way we are so blessed and can't wait to meet the little bean!

By the way grandma...Asa LOVES his poo :)
