There are so many things I think about on a daily basis these days that I want to put some of them down here for a record.
For one, I am still not completely pain-free. My hips hurt a lot in the morning. The colder the morning, I’ve noticed, the more they hurt. I don’t [...]
Hi. Well. Last night contractions started at 10 min apart around 6 pm and by the time I went to bed, were 6 min apart. As soon as my head hit the pillow, they stopped completely. But they were painful, couldn’t walk, had to focus-kind so we sure thought we would be getting up around [...]
I compared this to the last picture and I have certainly gotten bigger though it feels like I am actually getting smaller. On more than one occasion, I have felt like I have a new weapon – just swing the belly around and take out toddlers left and right.
80%, 2cm, 0 station – no progress in a week
protein in my urine, but not enough to be concerned with – midwife said it was normal past due to see an increase in that… ???
blood pressure 120/80, which is the highest its been this whole pregnancy but is still okay (I guess, she [...]
I had a nice long talk with the midwife today which helped my mental state more than anything. I love that the appointments are 30 to 45 minutes each, as long as I need, really. We talked about stripping my membranes if things had progressed a certain amount. She did an internal exam and was [...]
I’m onto really short projects now as far as the yarn addiction goes. Things that I can finish in a few hours, you know, in case we all of a sudden find ourselves holding a brand new human. Tonight’s project: a BELT! for ME! Yep, I guess you could say I’m looking forward to [...]
110/70, no weight gain, no internal check… just waiting…
… still waiting …
Just wanted to hop on to add that the fundal measurement was shorter, so the baby has officially dropped and boy can I ever feel it. Golly-bob-howdy! Next appointment (39.5 weeks) is next Wednesday, same time, same place, same midwife and she [...]
Huh?
I know, I had that reaction, too. David informed me that a milk date is the date on the milk carton, and that our due date is on the newest milk jug so we know we’re getting close.
38 weeks
I hear all the time how “small” I am but everything is relative, itsn’t it? I’m up to my all-time highest weight so I know I’m not “small” by comparison to the two previous pregnancies I’ve had. Regardless of “big” or “small” I’m ready to be [...]
The bags are packed, the batteries are charging, the memory card… well, it will be in one of the two DSLRs (we may yet get out and pick up bought another 2 gig cf card so both DSLRs are primed and ready to shoot – yipee!) all with [...]
David aired up the tires and filled up the gas tank in the blue car there on the right. We’re hoping to be able to take that car to the birthing center and leave the van with the boys’ car seats for the grandparents to bring James and Lowell to the birthing center to visit [...]
Sixteen days until our due date. I gained almost 4 pounds in one week. Hoo-rah. No internal check because the midwife was running 30+ minutes behind and in a hurry. She said she’d guess that we’re 100% effaced and 2-3 cm dilated but there’s no telling until she checks but then she never got around [...]
