Well I have hit the half way point. I went to the high risk doctor today and everything checked out okay. Pepper looks great and was moving around a lot. My cervix is in tact so there will be no progesterone shots for now! YAY!
I go to the regular OB tomorrow for my checkup. I should get frequent flyer discounts or something for as often as I go to the dr. Anyway, we are just relieved to hear that she is doing well.
My hips and back have still been sore off and on, especially at night! Hopefully some therapy and massage treatments will help.

Pepper scored big today!
We made a trip to Mall of America this weekend with Daddy, Libby and Libby's friend Becky. We found some great buys at Gap, Carters and a few other places! We got some great stuff for Pepper's arrival - cute little clothes, sweaters, hats, socks, onsies and a few other things. We also got some great maternity stuff for Mommy for this fall!
It was a great weekend for all of us, but I am a little tired. Thankfully I got fitted for a maternity back brace on Friday which was perfect timing for all the walking. It really made a difference.
It was a lot of fun to go with Jim and the girls.

Definitely a Girl!
We went back to Dr. Robertson today for the full ultrasound. He is certain that it is a girl! Her name is Pepper Peach. She was looking great. She was moving around plenty and he said her heart and brain all look normal. There are no signs of down syndrome and she is on track for her due date. He said she looks like a perfect kid for her age!
She has gotten quite active lately. She was moving around constantly and has her body stretched out across my tummy. Her feet are very active on my right side. We got a really good picture of one her feet (so cute). And some really nice pictures of her spine and one of her face.
No progesterone shots are needed at this point (whew!). They said everything is progressing nicely and I will be rechecked in 2 weeks. If the cervix starts to shrink then I will start the shots for sure, but for now I get a break because all is well!
My next round of appointments is in 2 weeks. I have them on consecutive days with both doctors!

First Major Purchase
Okay so it's not huge, but I just went to diapers.com and bought some diapers, wipes, lotion, baby wash and some soothing leg cream for me.
I have had many nights where my feet and legs ache. My wonderful hubby has been so kind to rub my feet and legs for me several times this week when it has happened. Even in the middle of the night when I know he was tired, yet I could not get comfortable, he rubbed them for me. I love him!
Anyway if you want to save $5 on your first order at diapers.com use my referral code NANC5343 and then I will save $1 as well. They accept coupons and ship to your door for free if your order is over $49! Hence my large purchase. I did shop in the clearance section and got what I believe is a good price for diapers and stuff.
How long will 96 newborn diapers last is my burning question? I also bought one box of the next size up!
Well that's a minor dent in what we need, but at least it's a start!
