05-2-2010 - 36 weeks appointment happy and excitedMy mood while writing this blog:
happy and excited



Today I had my 36 week appointment including a growth scan. Baby Kaden is still doing really well. The tech person did have to get the buzzer out today to wake him up a bit and do some breathing practice - he was being slightly lazy :) His busy time is always in the evening. He can still flip from one side to the other in a second, how he finds the room to do that I don't know and it sure takes my breath away! Anyway, after having used the buzzer a few times and me moving to my side he finally cooperated and did some good breathing. He now weighs 6lb and 2oz which is at the 47 percentile so at least he is not getting really big due to the GD.

Me, I have gained 1lb this week in contrary to the 2lb I lost last week. I have now gained 21 lb. My blood pressure is still great which I am happy about because it got really high with my first. I did ask my OB today about intimacy between me and my husband these last few weeks, if there were any restrictions, and he said 'only if you want to keep him away' indicating that he would make up some restrictions if I wanted him to, lol. I said 'no, because we haven't been intimate since week 7'. He did say it may cause some cramping and contractions but it should not cause me to go into labor. But even if it did, Kaden would be fine.

I am starting to feel very pregnant and uncomfortable. My feet are swollen, my legs are aching (like I have a fever), my lower back is sore, I often feel dizzy and shaky probably due to the GD, it's hard to walk and hard to breathe. The other day my husband asked me if I was getting a cold and I said 'no, I just can't breathe' :) So I am uncomfortable but VERY happy and that's the most important. Today I am 36 weeks and that means there's only 21 days until I get to see and hold Kaden!!! Still can't believe it! And who knows, maybe he will decide to come even earlier than that. I love getting ready for him, washing his clothes etc, and going into his room and see his crib. I so wonder what he will look like.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful friendships and continuous prayers.

Love,
Karin

Hi gorgeous, I'm so glad everything is going great with you and Kaden. Yes, only 20 days to go!! can you believe it? Or even earlier as you said '-) This week my dear friend who was in same week, her due date was March 1st gave birth to her baby girl. She had a C-section scheduled by Feb 17, but her water broke this week and her baby girl is now here, healthy, beautiful and gaining weight. Not even to the nicu. So, I'm so happy knowing that our babies at this point are perfectly fine, so are Kaden and Benjamin and everyone elses!Take care my dear!

hey Karin,Wow!!! Week 36. You are almost done and you finally get to meet you babyboy... Hold on for the next 21 days. We are all keeping you in all of our prayers and thoughts. I just wanted to tell you that AF came this month and I go to the doctors for all kinds of tests to maybe see if there is a reason why I cant stay pregnant. Now, I need your prayers!! I am counting down the days for you now!!!!!

Things sound like they are movin right along with you pretty well. I haven't experienced the growth scans yet, but I have heard about that buzzer to wake up the babies. You are having the common pregnancy discomforts that make you want to get this ordeal over with. I thought about what you said about intimacy with DH. I haven't had it since I was about 9 weeks along and thinking about it made me feel like I wouldn't know what to do any more! LOL! Thanks for your reply to my question on the IC forum. - Michelle

Awesome girlie!! Can't wait to see him myself!!

I know all about the buzzer. I had that done several times with Jadyn, she was just one lazy baby. I can't believe it is only 21 days (or maybe sooner) till you get to hold your son. Can't wait to hear all about him.
