Pregnancy: 38 weeks, 6 days {yeah, day early again}
Weight Gain: 25 pounds. I have been stuck here for three weeks I think.
Sleep: Sucks right now. My hips really hurt and I end up flipping from side to side every hour or more. It doesn't help that Aidan's trying to get some extra cuddles in during the wee hours of the morning and is coming into our bed.
Gender: It's a girl!
Name: You'll soon find out!
Feeling: Completely exhausted! All I want is ice cream and to sleep. Oh, and to find another great book like The Help (just finished it last night) to read. I'm pretty uncomfortable at this point and sometimes feel like I'm carrying a bowling ball around and it's about to fall out at any point. I'm so nervous and anxious for so many things...the c-section, going into labor on my own (hopefully not), how Aidan will react, lack of sleep, getting everything ready for her, and a myriad of other things. Oh, and going from one kiddo to two is pretty life-changing as well.
Health: I have been really lucky this time around. At my appointment today blood pressure was 122/74, my weight didn't change, and everything else looked great. Her heart rate sounded fabulous anywhere from the high 120s to the low 170s when she started wiggling around in there. My doctors have all been quite happy with how well I'm doing. Oh, and no swelling at all! That's certainly something to be happy about! I hope this means that the delivery and recovery will be just as good.
Movement: Well we had that little scare on Sunday, but after that she's been moving and shaking like usual. There's a lot more pressure now when she moves, and the quick movements aren't happening quite as much. I'm going to miss feeling her move around.
Belly: Stretched to the max!
Next Appointment: August 25th for my c-section. No more check-ups for us. Crazy!!!
Oh, and I almost forgot, this time in my pregnancy with Aidan I was in the hospital starting an induction to have Aidan because of my high blood pressure. I had him at exactly 39 weeks. So my body has never been past that point...wonder what this next week will bring me. I'm blessed to have made it this far and as hard as it may be during those uncomfortable moments, I am going to enjoy it all, and miss it so much once it is over. The end result of all this is 100% worth it all.
