A little scare...and too sick to travel

Well, I am done with my last business trip...I never made it to the airport. This thing I have won't let up and the Dr prefered that I stay home. We have a huge gathering of clients tomorrow for a golf outing and I am so bummed to miss it;however tonight and tomorrow night would have been late evenings and there is no way I would have had any rest. I do not want bronchitis or pneomonia!

My Dr appt today became a little more dramatic than usual. I realized over the weekend that Baby D wasn't moving too much. I thought maybe I had poisoned her with Sudafed (even though I had cleared it with the dr Friday) so I became a bit frantic. This morning they put me on a monitor and I guess didn't like the "reactivity" they were seeing so off I went for another ultrasound. And I fell apart. Thankfully Marsh works right around the corner so he was there in minutes. The ultrasound showed that Baby D is a gymnast in training...she is trying to touch her toes right now meaning she is in a breech position. That is why I cannot detect as much movement. I can sure feel her head though...this whole time I was thinking that was a foot. Nope, it's her hard head...wonder where she gets that from? So everything is fine and hopefully she'll somersault her way back to right position sometime over the next 5 weeks. Not sure what happens at week 36 but apparently that is when the docs want the baby head first. Fingers Crossed! Toes too.

A late summer cold

Well, I can finally say I am sick while pregnant...just not the nauseous kind of sick. I have a nasty cold or bug or whatever and it's miserable. I started feeling stuffy Thur, then I had the full blown chills/sweats on Friday. Yesterday and this morning I am still very stuffy but now it's just an annoyance more than anything. Plus it makes sleeping a bit tougher than it already has become! UGH. I head up to Virginia tomorrow so I am sure the plane ride will make it all better...right! I am very happy that this is my last trip up there for a while - probably until next spring. I do have my 31 wk appt first thing in the AM so I am looking forward to that as well.

So I finally I have a picture to post - taken yesterday in Athens. Marsh was even "kind" enough to pull my shirt tighter in the back, just so I could look even bigger on camera. Isn't he thoughtful...

Have a great week!

Congrats to Tech!

And shame on FSU. The victory in South Bend was long overdue...and I just don't know what to think about Papa Bowden anymore. Oh well, funny how I am not near as angry as I normally would be...don't want to stress out Little Miss Duncan. No, we don't have a name yet...

29 week appt this morning and everything is great. I now start going every 2 weeks! My tummy measured right at 29 weeks and I've gained a total of 17 pounds. She has been very active these past few days (I think she is fired up about football) and when they put the microphone thingy on me to check the heartbeat she pushed back, which was pretty funny. We know 6 other couples that are expecting - one of which is having twins! So hopefully our little one will have lots of play dates down the road.

We had a nice weekend as we spent Fri-Sunday in Athens for the UGA game. We're headed right back for this weekend. Marsh's niece is a freshman there and we hope to see her on this trip. She went home last weekend...she still has the hometown boyfriend. For now ;)

Hope everyone enjoys the short week!
