33 Weeks!!

That's right, I am 33 weeks along in this pregnancy. That means 7 weeks and counting!! I went a week over with Tayva, and I am really hoping that does not happen again. I hope I go a little early this time. (might just be wishful thinking, but it doesn't hurt)

I had a doctor's appointment today, and I am measuring well, and my blood sugars are in check, so no insulin needed at this point. I do have to say that I REALLY tortured myself by looking through a Paula Deen magazine and ended up drooling over all the yummy dessert in it. When I heard my stomach growling (literally), I though "enough is enough" and shut the magazine, and reminded myself--only 7 more weeks, then I can have some of those yummy desserts.

Tayva cam with me to the doctor's appointment today. I explained it all to her before we went. I told her we were going to listen to the baby's heartbeat and that it would sound like "thump, thump, thump" etc. She was really excited. The whole way to the doctor's office, she was saying "going to hear the baby in mommy's tummy". The doctor was so good to her. She let Tayva sit on a chair right next to me. After she measured my stomach, she let Tayva play with the tape measure. When we heard the baby's heartbeat, Tayva's eyes got big, and she let out an excited squeal. It was really cute. Afterward, I took a picture of her and the doctor--for 2 reasons. First, this is the same doctor that delivered her, and second, I wanted a picture for the baby's scrapbook, to show her that her big sister was excited about her, and came to some of the doctor's appointments. When we left, she said "I heard the baby in mommy's tummy--sounds like a puppy". I am not sure why she equated the baby's heartbeat to sounding like a puppy--it is amazing how their little minds work sometimes.
