Tavin Update

I had my 26 week checkup yesterday at the doctor for baby Tavin! All is going well and things are looking to be on the up-and-up! His heartbeat is strong, the doc looked over my sonogram pictures and said that everything looks good/healthy, and all the various testing ( the blood work stuff you have to do while you're pregnant) has come back negative. I've gained 7 pounds, but I swear it feels more like 37. The humidity here is KILLING ME! I want to see what "normal" legs, feet, face, etc., look like again!

The closer the time comes, the more nervous I get about delivering. People, I have an over HOUR drive to Wilford Hall. My fear is that I won't make it and he'll be born in the car on the way there, I swear. I only pushed 2 x's with Salem, and expect this one to come just as fast. Oh lordy, what will I ever do? We need to plan out an alternate route/method for that day just in case. Meaning, we need to take a drive and find the nicest/nearest civilian hospital instead of the craphole we have here in NB.



With that, I'll finally leave you with the first and only belly shots I have taken this time around. I wish I had more, but it isn't something I think about on a weekly basis. Andrew snapped these for me last night after I had extreme case of the "sweet tooth". I had 5 bite sized pieces of chocolate ( I don't even like chocolate), 6 halloween sized boxes of gummy candy, a Keva Juice smoothie, and an ice cream cone from McDonald's. That wasn't even including the dinner I had (lemon chicken and salad)! I have no clue what my problem was. No matter what I shoved/inhaled into my mouth, I just couldn't get enough. I hate when you have "moments" like that because it only makes you feel worse the next few days. I'm sure all the sugar and salt will make my already oversized feet, swell up even bigger. Oh the joys of being pregnant!
