(I love this one because it was Halloween weekend and Miller looks like he is scared of my belly).
I just wanted to post a pregnancy update for this baby girl because I have done so few. Everything has been going fine. I have been so sore and it just keeps getting worse but that is normal. The only thing different this time around was that I barely failed the 1hour glucose test so I had to do the 3hour test and passed it with flying colors. I am still annoyed by the whole thing but oh well.
Here is my normal survey from 36 weeks.
How far along: 36 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I did not gain any weight from my
last appointment so my total is 25 lbs.
Maternity clothes: It is now cool enough to wear my
fall clothes which I am excited about, but I am finding that everything is so
snug. My bump is outgrowing my maternity clothes. I have my sprinkle tonight
and I am wearing the same dress that I wore to my last sprinkle and my shower
for Miller. I am just wearing it differently.
Stretch marks: Just all the old ones.
Sleep: I had some great nights of sleep
this week. I still want more sleep but at least it was good quality sleep.
Best moment this week: Miller’s party was a success and
now it is just Halloween stuff and a few odds and ends to complete. I managed
to get some all my crafts done this week so I am feeling mostly successful.
Movement:
This darn child apparently has too
much room in there. She has been head down for months and at my appointment
this week she was transverse. I am so freaked out now and doing everything I
can to get her to go down. I think she tends to go back to being head down but
I still feel some spinning. I have been doing some exercises that are supposed
to help get her in the right position but now I feel like so much is up in the
air. I want her to move so that I know she is okay but not too much.
Food cravings: I have hit a mental wall with meal planning.
Either, it doesn’t sound good to me, we cant get the kids to eat it, we already
made it and have it in the freezer downstairs, or Ben is allergic to something
in it. This is so painful! I just wish it were affordable to get take out every
night.
Food aversions: Anything that I have to cook.
Gender: Girly!
Labor Signs: BH come and go. At my doctors
appointment this week, my cervix is closed but really soft.
Belly Button in or out: I wonder what it would feel like
for it to poke out. I will never know.
What I miss: I miss feeling that we are not on
a deadline. I love Halloween and really want to enjoy it but I feel like I am
so stressed out about the baby coming that I am rushing through and not
enjoying it.
What
I am looking forward to: While I will miss being pregnant, I am looking
forward to getting through delivery. I am so worried about her position and I
wish I could just know that everything will work out with that.
Weekly Wisdom: I remember this feeling before
but I feel like I have an expiration date of November 13th and I am
just sitting around anxiously waiting for it. In reality, it is great after
baby comes and I am no longer stuck in this pregnant body but I can not get
over the anxiety of the unexpected and nostalgia about missing being pregnant.
However, with issues about her position this week, it makes me more anxious to
get to the delivery and know that I can
have another smooth vaginal delivery.
Milestones: I reached a month away from our
due date. It is so weird to think that she will be here in a matter of weeks
now.
Update from my appointment: She flipped head down again the next week but some point in the following week, she flipped again and was breech. Last week was really stressful because we had to discuss doing a version to flip her and inducing. I started redoing my exercises and this week she was head down again. My doctor is pretty sure that she has dropped and can not move again so we are just letting nature take its course. I am still pretty anxious but just trying to stay calm and will her to stay put and come out soon.
