Write a new blog

My mood while writing this blog: exhausted |
Had a doctor's appt on Friday. Went well, short but well. Baby is still
floating meaning he hasn't dropped into my pelvis yet, I'm still
tightly closed. No dialation. I'm just effacing, cervix is thinning.
I'm 60% effaced. But typical first time moms (granted not one pregnancy
is the same) efface first and don't start dialating until the first
stage of labor. So I've just got to be patient. Granted I'm not
horribly massivly dreadfully uncontrolably uncomfortable, so whenever
baby is ready I will be too. I mainly just feel bad for baby, he has
very quickly ran out of room in my tummy so as much as I love being
able to tell the difference between a leg movement or an arm twist I am
just reminded how smooshed he is... poor thing.
Dr says that
cutting back to 20hrs of work a week probably saved me to my due date.
I feel better for sure, I still get contractions but they aren't as
frequent. They are stronger but not as frequent. Good Good.
My
feet started to swell, seems like only when I'm on them for long
periods of time and only on the hot days. I'm keeping up on my liquids
and clearing away from extra sodium to help keep them down. I tell you
what though I didn't know how bad it hurts to walk on swollen feet.
Ouchie!
We're trying to get the nursery all settled and ready, just
got another 6 boxes of 0-9 months clothes from our friend Jaime. So the
nursery is cluttered again and I've got a lot more laundry to do again.
Need to get more baby hangers and storage boxes. Maybe I'll pick those
up tomorrow.
Anyway later gator! I'll post again after next dr appt for the next update. Belly love to all.
