Pregnancy Milestones

6.17.11  (38 wks, 6 days) – Gone into labor!! Water broke at 6:30am.
6.16.11  (38 wks, 5 days) – almost 3 cm dilated, ~75% effaced, still slightly posterior. It’s crazy to think that when we were admitted to the hospital when I was in labor with Addy, I was 3 cm dilated… now I’m just walking around at almost 3cm! Have had some major contrax over the past few days, so we’ll see how much longer P-squared holds out…
6.14.11  (38 wks, 3 days) – P-squared must have dropped… I need to pee all the time! Wedding rings have come off, hands and feet are feeling puffy.
6.8.11  (37 wks, 4 days) – almost 2 cm dilated, 60% effaced. We only have 17 days left before my due date. So much left to get done!!!!
6.1.11  (36 wks, 4 days) – 1 cm dilated (“a good cm, not just a fingertip!” says doc), 50% effaced, still slightly posterior. At least progress has been made! Getting some painful contractions.
5.23.11  (35 wks, 2 days) – First internal exam. No progress yet, but now we start weekly appointments. P-squared will be here before we know it!!
5.10.11-5.17.11 (33-34 weeks) First (and last) airplane trip to FL for this pregnancy. I don’t think I would travel this late in the pregnancy again… sitting on the airplane was quite uncomfortable due to the big belly.
5.4.2011 (32 wks, 4 days) Dr. appt, Addy came with me. She did not like it when the nurse took my blood pressure and the doc measured my belly. She didn’t even like listening to P-squared’s heartrate (154 bpm, fastest yet!). I think she was a bit nervous.
4.5.2011 (28 wks, 3 days) – Dr. checkup. Passed glucose test, heart rate 140 bpm. Now I start going in for my appointments every 2 weeks!
3.19.2011 (26 wks) – Felt hiccups for the first time! P-squared is SUCH a mover after 10pm.
3.13.2011 (25 wks, 1 dy) – Dreamt about eggr olls during my nap today. Woke up because I could literally smell them. But no one was cooking egg rolls…
3.8.2011 (24 wks, 2 dys) – Monthly Dr. checkup. Heart rate 140 bpm, everything looks great. Experiencing round ligament pain in my belly (ouch!) and have had braxton hicks contractions.
2.7.2011 (20 wks, 2 dys) – Ultrasound for measurements! Heart rate was 140 bpm… much lower than Addy’s. Does this mean P-squared is a boy??? Weight estimated to be 13 oz.
1.10.2011 (16 wks, 2 dys) – OB appt, heart rate 150 bpm. Gained 3 lbs since my last appt, finally reached pre-pregnancy weight!
12.31.2010 (14 wks, 6 dys) – Felt P-squared kick for the first time on New Years Eve! Great way to end the year!!!
12.13.2010 (12 wks, 2 dys) – Got to hear P-squared’s heartbeat today 152 bpm, nice and steady.
12.2.2010 (10 wks, 5 dys) – First OB appt and ultrasound! P-squared looks great, measuring right on track. Heart rate 166 bpm.
10.30.2010 (6 wks) – Morning sickness begins…
10.16.2010 – Found out we are expecting Baby #2 around June 25, 2011!!
