Pregnancy Update; 32 Weeks

Just a quick update! I am really getting anxious for this baby to come! The weeks are counting down!

I will most likely be induced at 38-39 weeks so they can stop my blood thinners before I go into labor. Which means we only have 6-7 weeks until baby-day!!

There's still a lot that needs done until she arrives and she does not have a name, but I am calm...for now!

I have routine OB appointment next Tuesday and ultrasound to see if she turned from being breech! I also scheduled a breastfeeding class for next week as well since I did not breastfeed our first!

Still trying to plan how we will handle A being home for the delivery (praying I do not go into labor before induction date!) and we are hoping he can take at least a week off to be home with me and our newborn!

Pregnancy update; week 28; baby name delimma!

28 WEEKS! :)

My bump has definitely popped out there since I have last updated about my pregnancy! We are all getting very excited about seeing our tiny baby girl.

Since my last update I have switched to a new OB and am seeing the high risk doctor due to the blood clots I had earlier this year, but thank the good Lord above that all the other issues we have encountered have seem to go away!

The only issue our family has so far is coming up with the time to discuss baby names!! With A being gone during the week and me working every other weekend, it is really hard to find the time to really sit down and give it the thought it needs!!

I think that is why this pregnancy has seem to fly by. Since A is OTR and I am left at home alone to deal with all the chores, work, and taking care of our two year old, it does not leave much time to sit and daydream as I did with my first pregnancy!



Does anybody have any baby name suggestions!? We are leaning towards a "K" name!

Pregnancy Update: Week 24; Including your husband in your pregnancy.

Every weekend my hubby gets home he says he can not believe how much our toddler son AND my belly have grown. It has really started to pop which is very exciting and reassuring knowing our new little girl is growing like she should!

I can tell it hurts A. being away and not being able to experience this pregnancy like he did with our son. He never missed an appointment during my son's pregnancy but this time he has not been able to make it to one appointment.

There are a few ways that I have tried to keep him in the loop this pregnancy...

1. Sent him pictures of my growing bump
2. Called him after every appointment and updated him on everything
3. Video recorded via my IPhone parts of the ultrasounds to send to him
4. Sent "100,000 Baby Names" book with him in the truck
5. Let him touch my belly when he is home (even though I hate it because I feel self-conscious)

If there are any other trucker-wives going through pregnancy alone send me a message or leave a comment! I would love hearing from another person going through the same thing and exchange ideas of how to keep your husband included in your pregnancy!
