22-1-2009 - Im going to make it...

My mood while writing this blog: still here and standing...

I went to the Dr and at 35 weeks Im measuring as if I'm 39-40 weeks. My doctor is concerned because she doesn't want me to go into labor. They are checking my cervix at every appointment, Im getting u/s at every appointment and next week they want to hook me up to the baby heart rate monitor for a while. He is retaining too much fluids. Im happy that he's healthy but he dehydrated me and I will go through whatever I have to for him I just want him to be healthy. Im retaining weight so much faster than normal pregnancies. My Dr said she knows I feel like Im going to pop! It's so weird. I have to make it to at least 37 weeks! My Dr is also talking about taking me out of work. I though I was having braxton hicks but I might be wrong. I also have to keep track of my contractions along witht he kick count. What's weird is they come almost every half an hour! Now that I have been keep track. But they happen more when Im at work. When I laid on my back to have the u/s on Wednesday I started to feel extremely hungry then I started sweating really bad from my head and my chest. The u/s tech told me to turn over and she immediately stopped. She said their is so much weight on my lungs that I almost fainted! I feel so much pressure in my lower tummy, and legs I can barely stand for longer than 10 mins without being in pain. I thought what I was feeling was normal becasue IM PREGNANT.. But according to my Dr. I need to start telling them what Im feeling because they are concerned...

Im still working fulltime and going to school fulltime the good thing is my classes are all online this semester because I it just seemed like the thing to do. I am so thankful to just be here ... God is good. I just keep pushing forward and doing what I need to I try not to complain because at the end of the day there is always good even in the storm and I know God WILL see me through no matter the circumstance, struggle, or road block.
