It's been a while since I "posted"

11/15/08: We went to the photographers’ studio and chose close to $1,000 worth of my maternity pictures! Thankfully, we spent half and my parents spent the other half so we were able to get all sorts of “free” perks! If we went this crazy with pictures of me, imagine what will happen when we take Khloe?!? It will take about 4 weeks to get the pictures.

11/17/08: Had doctor’s appointment and all went well. I gained 2 more pounds and her heart beat was in the 130’s. My blood work came back normal (really good to know as I don’t want to bleed to death as I’m giving birth!) My stomach measured 30 cm and she is sending me for my last ultrasound before she is born on 11/26. Crazy to know that next time I see her, I’ll be holding her! My follow up appointment with her is on my birthday! (December 1^st for those of you who have forgotten! LoL)

11/20/08: Melissa from David’s work (who is also my sister’s friend) got another gift for Khloe! She had her mom make a pink and white scarf J That was the second thing which she got that was made from scratch! The first was a pink and brown blanket for her crib which Frank’s mom (from my hotel) made for her. How thoughtful…Melissa also got us socks, mittens and little headbands…

11/22/08: David and I went to the maternity tour at the hospital. There were about 8 other couples there. They emphasized that breastfeeding is extremely important and they recommend the birthing balls (good thing I already have one!) I hate hospitals but decided I am going to take a few things from home to make that room feel like home. The good thing is that I have a really good chance of getting my own room! I just have to try to not go during a full moon…The lady touring us also mentioned that the biggest baby born there weighed in at 15 pounds 2 oz! I feel for that mom! This was also the day that we got our car back…finally!!! My mom and I went to Sam’s Club and she got me a robe, pj’s, slippers and sport bras as part of my birthday gift so I have to take to the hospital =)

11/23/08: My parents got Khloe a Diaper Genie with 6 refills =) A few less things for David and I to buy while we’re out during Black Friday! Yes, I know I’m 8 months pregnant, but I can’t miss out on my Black Friday! The sales are supposed to be even more outrageous this year!

Photo Session ~ How fun!!!!

I had my maternity photo session on Saturday and had a fun time doing it! We did a lot of poses with the wraps and some semi-nude ones but very tastefully done. I took the clothes line that our friend gave us for the baby shower and used that as one of the props as well as some of the little shoes we have for her and a Nightmare Before Christmas onesie. My mom straightened my hair and the photographers told me that they won’t have to edit any stretch marks, fold or anything! They covered my tattoos really well so they won’t have to edit those…If anything, my belly button piercing…David and I are going this Saturday to look at the proofs. We are scheduled to go back and take pictures with Khloe within a week of her being born! Crazy…Just 9 more weeks to go…63 days or less if she decides to come early!

10/31/08: Happy Halloween!!! Felt Khloe hiccup for the first time, it was really cute =)

11/1/08: Khloe hiccupped again for 5 minutes straight in the morning. My stomach kept bouncing up and down. We also went and bought the paint for the 2 nursery (2 shades of pink)

11/2/08: Ordered nursery furniture through Costco.com, delivery time is expected in 4-6 weeks.

11/3/08: Had doctor’s appointment…Thankfully I tested negative for gestational diabetes, her hear beat 147bpm and the doctor said everything is going perfect. I also mentioned to her that when I was little and had tonsil surgery, I almost bled to death so that my mom is scared of my having to have a last minute C section…Of course, she sent me for some additional blood work =( but I went and got it over with. My next appointment is in 2 weeks, no longer 4! I also scheduled the maternity tour for November 22^nd J
