Pictures:
My awesome coworkers sent me these beautiful flowers today. The next photo is a nice reminder that I can't see my poor feet. The next one is my 1st shot at going bare belly. I thought I'd try at least one even though I am not a fan of them!
How am I feeling?
- Can't sleep at night even with multiple pillows so I am constantly tired
- Can't sleep in a bed so I mostly sleep on a recliner or on the floor
- Decreased movement from the baby but I still feel her at least 1-2 times a day (less kicking)
- She hiccups in my crotch and I can't stand it
- Horrible pelvic pains that make it nearly impossible to walk, turn, or stand up. I prefer baths but it takes a lot out of me to get in and out of the tub :(
- Contractions galore! These come and I normally would prefer not to talk to anybody
- Swelling feet on and off... my rings still fit though!
- Weight gain has stalled for a bit out thank goodness
So when I asked the doc if I was going to make it to 40 weeks (which would be June 19th), she said a flat out "no". She then said "I don't want to jinx it, but I think we can make it full term". Full term for me would be May 29th. So I wonder if Baby J (as my coworkers ca
ll her) will be a May baby or June baby? I am certainly excited to have her come here but with my bedrest there isn't much I can finish up around the house like I would like to. My cervix is still shortening and funneling which is why she doesn't think I'll make it that far. Doc is hoping we can keep her cooking for as long as possible.Total Weight Gain to date: 17 lbs :(
Whatever happened to that nice 4-5 lbs I had going?
Bows! I splurged buying $70 worth of bows, headbands, and beanies for Baby Jessica and they get here tomorrow. I'm excited to see them! If my little girl comes out looking like a little man, we're going to have to dress her head for a bit. I got them from an online site called Halo Heaven.
