Yet another Dr. APT

Well I went in to the Dr. Yesterday and good news is that I actually lost 6 lbs. The Dr. was very happy with that and told me to stick to the no sugar no salt and low carbs in my diet so that Barrett doesnt get to big. Other Good news is that Neither me or Barrett grew this week so he is now only about 9 days ahead of schedule. YEAHHHHH. Well my next appointment is in 2 weeks so I will send another update then. YEAH just 8 weeks from today we should be meeting Little Barrett.

Ultrasound Results

Ok so Ryan and I went to the Dr. Today to have yet another Ultrasound, Well he is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule but they said it is ok for now. Dr. B. will go over all the results with me on the 7th at my next appointment. He did turn himself around in the last 3 weeks sometime, and is no longer breeched, so we are not going to have to have a C-Section for that. I have added 2 new pics of Barrett to my myspace pics but they arent very good because this little man wants to be difficult and he is now facing backwards so we couldnt get a good pic of his face. It seems that every ultrasound we have he doesnt want his pic taken. He either puts his hands in front of his face or he turns and faces my back so we cant see him. OH well in anywhere from 6-10 weeks we will see that handsome face. I will Keep everyone posted.

Swelling Update

Ok so I was really swollen in my legs today so my mom told me to just stop by the Dr.'s office to have them check it out and check my Bloodpressure. I did, & found out that My bp is a little high but not dangerous yet. GOOD news there.
BAD News is that I am measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. He has scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow, to check Barretts size and condition, & to see if he is still Breeched and thinks that if Barrett is getting too big they may induce me in June, and if he is still breeched we will have to have a C-section. We will see. I know that what ever God wants will happen. He also said I have to cut all salt and sugar out of my diet, OK that really stinks! BLAHHH.
I will send another update tomorrow after the results are in.
Take care & I will talk to you soon.

1 year anniversary

Ok So yesterday was our 1 yr anniversary, WOW how fast this yr went by. I think about where Ryan and I were last yr on our wedding day and I look to where we are today and I think How far we have come. 1 year review: Last yr we were living in a rent house with a roommate, we had 1 car, not much in savings, and we had some serious credit card bills.
This yr we baught a home in a nice neighborhood, we no longer have a roommate, we baught 2 almost new cars, we have paid off our debts and we have money in savings. Ryan is making a great living so that I can now stay home and not work. Not to mention that we now have an amazing bassett hound, and we have a Baby Boy on the way. WOW!
Who would have thought in just 1 yr we would have accomplished so much?

High Bloodpresure

Ok I know some of you guys have been asking how the pregnancy is going so I will just send out updates as I get them from my Dr. I went in on Monday because I had some pretty bad swelling in my legs,& feet, (which most of the time is normal in Pregnancy, but with my history we decided to be safe).Well Barrett and I are both fine. His heart rate was great, & he is growing like a weed. My swelling on the other hand not so good. It turns out my Bloodpresure had been slightly high the last couple of visits, over the weekend it got up to 140/80(which in pregnancy is high) the Dr told me we are going to watch the swelling and the Bp and if it gets up too much more, they are going to have to put me on bed rest. The Dr. told me to keep walking daily and eat healthy and in 2 weeks we will check it again. Lets Pray it stays down cause I cant be in bed for the next 13 weeks. Ok so my next Dr. Apt is April 16 so I will update you guys then. Thanks for all your carring, and prayers.

Growing Family!

Well Barrett is Growing and changing every day, & so is my belly! I feel like a whale but I know that is just part of it. He is kicking all the time and mostly at night so I never get any sleep, but oh well I better get use to it now right. At my last Ultrasound the Dr. said he is healthy and growing just as he should be he is about 10 inches long right now and he weighs just over a pound. It is exciting and a little nerve racking that in just 15 weeks I am going to be bringing my baby home to live. I am so excited & my parents are just going nuts buying the little guy stuff. No Lie they were in Louisville the other day and went to the Louisville slugger plant for a tour and baught Barrett a customized baseball bat with his name engraved in it. OH man is this baby going to be spoiled.
Things here are good Ryan is doing very well at his job, I am doing fine with mine(but I only have 3 more months untill I am not working any more) Daisy is still crazy and lazy, the other morning she freaked out when I made her go our side to do her business in the snow, She had no Idea what snow was much less how to act. She didnt like it much. We are so so so excited about Barretts arrival that we can hardly stand it. All we have to do is get his room ready but until our roommate moves out (hopefully in may) we cant do that. Thanks to 2 of our friends that just had sons last yr we literally have a room Full of baby boy cloths ages 0-18 month, and half of then still have the tags on them. Apperantly babies grow out of cloths so fast that they dont get to wear half of what they get. Thank goodness for Friends with kid, to cause now I can get other things I really need for my baby showers. The most amazing thing happenend yesterday. I was home relaxing on the couch , because monday and Tues I have the stomach flu and man was it bad. Well while I was laying there Barrett got the hickups for the 1st time. It was so cool he jut kept jumping it was like a little spasum in my belly. It was the weirdist but most amazing feeling ever. So in general All is well for the Landon clan. I will post more as we get updates. The next Dr. Apt is one week from today! Thanks to all my friends for your care and support!
