The ticker at the top of my screen tells me we have about 26 days, WOAH! The anxiety has kicked in for sure. I'm afraid she doesn't have enough diapers, enough blankets, burp cloths, clothes(YEAH RIGHT) haha, I think this is normal right?? Here are a few updates about the pregnancy:
Size: At our 35 week ultrasound Friday before last, they think she was weighing about 5 lbs 8 oz., according to babycenter this week she is the size of a crenshaw melon, whatever that is, and should be about 6 lbs. I hope she doesn't gain more than another 2 pounds or so these next few weeks :).
Weight Gain: I am working on about 30 pounds, I'm hoping I can keep this number over the next few weeks!
Sleep: I have slept overall pretty great, up until now. I wake up about 3 or 4 times in the night, mostly Tyson wakes me up but it's because every little noise wakes me up now, I guess it is the Lord preparing me. Every time I wake up, I have to get up and go to the restroom of course :).
Appointment: My next appointment is tomorrow morning, they will be testing me for Group B Strep and I will begin my weekly checkups with the midwives. She is definitely not breech anymore and definitely feels like she could actually fall out at times, sorry TMI!
Symptoms:
Heartburn, this seems to have minimized some, but when I do get it it's pretty horrible.
Nausea-this happens a lot, I guess she's taking up a lot of room in my belly which causes me to feel so sick at times.
Backaches- I have had an achy lower back this whole last trimester, but I just throw my leg over the body pillow and this seems to relieve it some. Speaking of my body pillow, I have no idea how any pregnant girl could make it through their pregnancy without this, I call it my boyfriend because it takes up a space big enough for another person in our bed.
Pelvic Pressure-This is pretty new but very uncomfortable, this just gives me one more excuse not to be able to walk sometimes at night, ugh.
Swelling-I have been pretty lucky to not have any swelling so far!
I have overall loved being pregnant, but at this point I am over it and just ready for her to be here and know that she is healthy. We had a wonderful shower at our Church this past weekend, we are so blessed to be surrounded by a wonderfuly church family. Her nursery is pretty much ready with a few more finishing touches. I have attached some pictures for you guys to finally see what we have been working on :). I also attached a picture of me at 35 1/2 weeks!
