I am officially 30 1/2 weeks right now! Maddox is "in position"! He's head down already, so he's ready to roll!
Weight gain is great! Considering we went on vacation for a whole week and I ate like I'd never eaten before, I am happy to report I only gained 2 lbs. in the last 2 weeks, so only 16 lbs. total so far! (Sure it would have been more if Carson would have walked and not made me hold him the whole trip - I got my exercise with him that's for sure)
Heartbeat was 150 BPM this time, which was higher than normal, but still very good!
Garrett got a lot of things together for Maddox while we were on vacation. Baby toys, bouncers, etc. are out in the house right now. Carson seems to think they are "his toys".
We're really getting anxious to meet our little boy, but everything is going well and nothing else to report at all.

Another visit....
I went today for another visit. Has been 3 weeks since my last visit and I have gained 5 lbs. in these last 3 weeks. Seems it's all coming on at the end!
I have gained 14 lbs. total so far, and they tell me I'm right on target for my weight.
Maddox's heartbeat was 140 BPM, which has been the last couple times and is very good.
I am on every other week rotation for visits and am 28 1/2 weeks right now. At 36 weeks, I will go every week for check-ups!
Time is flying by with this one!
Nothing much else to report at all, just a normal routine visit and things are alright!

And his name is........
We're going to name baby Hughes: Maddox Carter Hughes!
This was the only name both Garrett and I could agree on. There were some others we liked but this one topped both our charts, so this is officially going to be his name.
Carter is my PopPop's name, so we're keeping the name in the family! We can't wait to meet our little man!

3 hour glucose results!
I tested negative for gestational diabetes! Thank Goodness! What pregnant woman wants to be put on a strict diet? None that I know of! haha!
So, we are very thankful this came back negative. The actual 3 hour test was brutal. They did 4 blood draws and I was so sick afterwards and got dehydrated, so I had to take the day off work afterwards.
I am doing well now though and baby is doing well as well. He's moving all over the place and squirms an aweful lot!
We can't wait to meet our new addition!

Glucose Test results!
Got the call yesterday I have to go back tomorrow, Friday, June 26, 2009 for the 3 hour glucose test.
I had to take this test with Carson and it came back negative, so I'm hoping this is just a precaution. It's never fun to fast and get 6 viles of blood taken. Wish me luck tomorrow!
I go in at 8:45 AM and drink the sugar solution, wait one hour, and then take blood. They repeat this 2 more times, so I will be done at 11:45.
Should this come back positive, it means I have gestational diabetes and they have to monitor sugars, diet, etc.
SHould get these results early next week and will keep you posted!

Doctor visit!
I had my doctor visit today as well as my glucose test done.
I will get results of my test tomorrow, let's cross fingers this doesn't come back positive as it did with Carson. The 4 hour test liked to kill me!
I had some white blood cells in my urine today so they had to send my urine to the lab to get tested. Doctor said it's most likely an infection, but they will get me results on that as well.
It has been 3 weeks since I have been to the doctor and I have gained 1 lb. since my last visit. A total now of 10 lbs.
Doctor is very pleased with my weight gain as he said I'm probably not going to have as big of a baby as Carson was this time around. Let's hope he's right. He also said Carson wouldn't be over 8 1/2 lbs. We will have to see!
Baby's heartbeat was beating strong at 150 bpm. He's doing very well.
I will have test results to post up as I get them in, but in the meantime, we're all doing well!

A new side effect!
Alright, this one is going to be pretty funny to all of you, but not funny to me! (just kidding)
I have been getting charley horses in my feet! Yes, that's correct....not my legs but my feet!
Brittany got first hand what it looks like this weekend at Great Wolf Lodge.
I put my feet in the hot tub and all of a sudden, my toes start to get warped! I couldn't walk at all since my 2nd toe was completely pointed downward and it hurt me so bad.
This lasted about 10 minutes, no exaggeration! Brittany was laughing hysterically as I told her "I will meet up with you all when this goes away and I can walk again!"
It has happened a few times since. I remember getting them in my legs with Carson but not in my feet like this.
They hurt and if anyone has ever experienced them in your feet, you know what I'm talking about.
