Pregnancy: 37 weeks
Weight Gain: 25 pounds. Ugh, the weight gain is catching up to me. I'm trying to blame it on baby and fluids, but The Cheesecake Factory anniversary dinner last night probably didn't help much. Although I guess I should be thankful, since at this point with Aidan I was probably up 60 pounds!
Sleep: Not so good. I'm developing a love-hate relationship with the bathroom.
Gender: It's a girl!
Name: She's got a name. :)
Feeling: Blessed and thankful that 37 weeks is here. I feel like I can't breathe and my legs and back ache. I also have this awful tearing feeling at the top of my belly almost at the bottom of my ribcage. The doctor's say she's probably stretching some nerves that are there, but recently I've had back pain accompanying it which made them say it could possibly be my gallbladder or my stomach being squished. I'll be thankful when that pain stops! Oh, and I've been having some real contractions, however I turned down the option of getting checked for progress on Wednesday. Why? Because I was 1.5cm for a couple of weeks before I got induced and never made it past 3 so that whole getting checked thing means nothing to me.
Health: Still doing great. At my appointment on August 3rd I gained a couple of pounds, but nothing my doctor was concerned about and my blood pressure was 120/78. Her heart rate was 148bpm and she was wiggling around so much the doc had a hard time getting a good read at first. I keep trying to get another ultrasound but since everything is going so well they won't do it. She's head down right now and "feels like she'll be less than 9 pounds". Gee, thanks. My concern is her head size if I go for the VBAC. If she's anything like Aidan then sign me up for that repeat c-section right away (it's scheduled for the 25th, the day before d-day just in case).
Movement: She's a wild one in there! The last couple of days she has been so active during the afternoon and evening. Wednesday she was wiggling for over an hour and it was so obvious Sean could see her from the other room.
Belly: Getting bigger by the day and quite squished!
Next Appointment: August 10th
