Wow, Wednesday again! Where is the time going?
32 weeks tomorrow, unbelievably. Had a drs appointment yesterday, and found out that my iron level dropped from when it was checked Sept 12 to Sept 21. I think we both got distracted and I never did find out anything more about the iron. The dr says she thinks the baby is head down, and I'm still measuring right on schedule. I was a little disappointed, but happy that my next appointment is in 4 more weeks, I'll be almost 36 weeks then. I kinda wanted to start going more frequently just so I could get more questions in sooner, and not have to wait so long to ask, BUT that's what MH is for too, LOL. BUT the good part is the dr didn't see any reason to start every two weeks yet, so that's good. After my next appointment I'll be going in more often, and I'll only have four weeks left!!! Going to have the GBS test done next time, and since I'll be almost 36 weeks I'm gonna ask to be checked and see if I've dilated/effaced any. With Elijah I was 1 cm and 50% at 33 weeks (got checked at L&D because of contractions), and didn't get checked again since he was a scheduled c-section.
We had family here from DH's side from Sun-this morning, so I am pretty worn out and tired. Doesn't help that Elijah was up from 145-5/6something this morning. I could really use a nap right now, but with a hyper two year old...I don't see it happening anytime soon, I think today will be a lazy/breakfast food dinner day. I've already cleaned the kitchen, and the laundry folding can wait. I'm just too dang tired!
I'm starting to get more and more nervous as the end approaches...since Elijah was a c-section baby, and I've never been through labor before I don't really know what to expect. Our prenatal classes start the first week of Nov, so not too far off, there's so many people here it was hard to get in one even though I signed up EARLY!!!
The only depressing part of the day was I've gained 8 LBS since my last appointment!!! I can see why though, with the anemia dragging me down and the pubic bone pain I haven't been up and about as much...I'm just hoping this 8 lbs in 4 weeks doesn't continue...I've still got 8 more to go, so that's 16 lbs I'd add on!! I've gained 19 so far, more than I wanted for the entire time, but OH WELL, that just means I'll have to work that much harder after she's born!
