Two Week:
Today we had Baby A's two week appointment with the pediatrician. Yes, it has been that long since I have written a blog post, and I do apologize. Things have been busy with family here, but now things are settling back down, so I thought I would begin updating the blog on everything that is going on or has gone on.
Today at the appointment, Baby A weighed in at 6lbs 15oz. She gained her birth weight back plus another ounce. She measured 19 and 3/4 inches long, which means she grew about 3/4inch since her birthday. Breastfeeding is going great. In the hospital she latched on like a pro and I knew we would have no worries with nipple confusing, so we immediately introduced her to pacifiers as a way to soothe her while my boobs got some breaks in between feedings. I definitely do not regret it at all! It has worked for us. I also started pumping, but I am not too consistent with the amount that I get from pumping, which she is in the middle of a growth spurt so that may be why. Soon we will introduce her to a bottle because I will have to do some things for school. School went great while I was in the hospital. Baby A could not have picked a better time to make her arrival because I never once missed an assignment. I passed the class with a 98/A and already on to another class.
So far, that is what I have to share with you all. Here's a picture of today's doctor's appointment.

39 Weeks:
Today I am officially 39 weeks. Baby A is still in, and no sign of her coming any time soon. She will definitely be our surprise baby. The belly is super low, and she is definitely in my hips. I had my doctor's appointment yesterday, and they did a cervix check and said I was only dilated 1cm. I was a bit surprised with that because I had went through false labor 3 times within the last week. The contractions kept me up all night, and they were definitely there. They were not necessarily painful, but they were definitely there. Each night, they lasted 3 to 5 hours long. I would have went to the doctor, but I just felt like it was not it. Mr. Man kept wanting to send me to the hospital, but I was against it because they were not intensing. Mr. Man is so anxious, so every little move or puff of breath, he asks me if I want to go to the hospital. It's too cute. It just makes me laugh. He's so funny. Other than that, there really is not much going on. I am still in school and will continue for the next few weeks. I'm pretty sure I will not take a break until the summer. I will only if Mr. Man does not end up getting deployed. My Mom and brother will be arriving here on Friday, and we have every intention on being able to go pick them up. I have my next doctor's appointment on Monday, so I will keep everyone updated.
As always, I'm sorry for slacking. We are just so busy with everything going on that we lose track of all the other things around us.
I can not wait until the day where I upload a beautiful picture of our beautiful baby and share our experience with all of you!

Updated Pictures of the Pouch:
This will be full of pictures from Week 35 to now, which is 38!
Week 35
Week 36
Week 37
Week 38
Isn't it pathetic that ALL of my pictures are of me in sweats or pajama pants and a tee-shirt. I majorly failed at doing some casual everyday shots.
Otherwise, we only have a couple of more weeks until we meet our little girl!

38 Weeks:
I am officially 38 weeks and can not believe how fast time is flying. I would not have it any other way though. With things being so busy, this pregnancy has blown passed me!
Last week was a busy week as Mr. Man had to go to 12s. He ended up having to work through the weekend, which through me for a loop. Thankfully, things have already calmed down again, so I hope I can get back to a normal schedule within the next two weeks.
I had my doctor's appointment yesterday, and it was a quick in and out appointment. The midwife asked me if I was interested in getting my membranes ruptured, but I declined. Since I declined, they did not bother to check to see if I was dilated any. I am glad that they gave me the choice because I just want it to happen when it is meant to happen, and 38 weeks (in my opinion) is too early to give up and just letting it happen. She asked me lots of questions and mentioned that it "sounded" like I had dilated some. She basically made sure I was prepared with hospital bags and so was Mr. Man. She of course measured the baby and said she thought the baby was about 6lbs. I did not gain any weight, but the baby did grow. I have currently gained 30lbs this pregnancy. I have another appointment next week, and they will for sure check my cervix. Other than that all is great.
Excitement!! My Mom and brother are coming up in 9 days. Just 9 days away from them being here. I am so stinking excited! I can't wait to see them and spend time with them. I know we are going to have a house full, but I really miss them. I really miss hanging out with my brother. Even Mr. Man is excited to see my little brother and hang out with him while Mom and I do our girly thing. I hope Mr. Man and my brother are able to get out and do some boy things like they normally do. They will be staying for about 2.5 weeks! We should have fun, even if we do sit in the house all day everyday.
I will update on the pictures sometime this week. I took my 38 weeks today, but I have not uploaded it to the computer. Once I do that, I will post them so you all can see where I am at.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and are having a good start to this week.
