29 Weeks 6 days
42"
I cant believe that I am going to be 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow! Its getting so incredibly close! I dont even know what to do with myself! This past weekend we started working on the nursery!!!! A couple friends came over and helped paint. We are doing two different colors: mint green and beige. I know it probably sounds a little weird, but, trust me, it looks great together! The theme of the nursery is like a jungle, so something that a girl can live in also. We still have quite a bit to get done, so I will post pictures when its all done. I am making an album of the whole thing so I might just post the link to the album for those who may want to see it. Yaaaaaaay!!!!
On the pregnancy note, I have been feeling waaaay tired, and contributed it to the third trimester blues. Well, last Friday I was having some pain in my chest and terrible cramping. I called my doctors office and since it was a Friday, there were no doctors in the office. So my doctors nurse told me to head on up to the hospital triage to get things checked out. She thought I might be having UTI symptoms. I called a friend, since Daniel was at work, and we headed up there. After being monitored for two hours and having my cervix checked and all that jazz, it turns out that I am just dehydrated and having Braxton Hicks. Of course, I was advised to drink more water and sent home. My nurse called while I was still at the hospital and told me that I passed my glucose (yessssssssssss) and that I am very anemic (noooooo). So, now I have to take iron tablets to help boost my iron levels. That would explain why I have been feeling like I can barely make it to the afternoon without feeling like I am going to keel over from exhaustion!
I am glad that everything was okay. I threw a fit about having to go to the triage and I threw fits while being in there! I did NOT want to be in the hospital at 28 weeks pregnant!! I fussed about having to put the gown on, being strapped down, having my blood taken, getting my cervix checked, and getting swabbed to see if I would go into labor anytime soon. I ended up not getting swabbed because, the night before, Daniel and I had... ahem... lets just say two words: marital bliss.
Moooving on, I am normally not a fussy patient, I just knew that we were wasting time with all the fuss and hoo haw because I knew that this baby was not ready to make his way out. Although, he sometimes seems like he is trying to. The way he moves in my stomach feels like he is trying to figure a way out! It hurts! He is so strong now that when he pushes up with his feet, its hard to try and get him to move. Unlike Jarrett, he doesnt move when you poke back at him. Jarrett didnt like to be touched especially on his feet, something that was very evident even after he was born. He gets that from his daddy! But, Tre' will try and find the place that you are poking at and make you aware of his presence with a swift jab! Ouch!
Well, I am now in my 4th week of school! Can you believe it! And September is already almost halfway through, which means October is coming! The month my son will be here!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Im so excited. Im soooooo ready to not be pregnant anymore! I am carrying this baby so low that I feel like I have to spread my legs to walk. I dont know what happens when I drop! Im going to need a wheelchair! And I have indigestion and heartburn so bad now that I have to take an hour to eat any meals! Literally, an HOUR! Sometimes, I burp and food will come up with the burp! Its soooo disgusting!. I belch all day long! Like, 5-10 minutes apart. Its really awful. I was taking Tums but, now Im on to Zantac and even that doesnt seem to be working! I dont know what to do.
Oh well, I plan on having him between 37 and 38 weeks (wink) and so I keep telling myself that I only have 7 or 8 weeks left! EEEEEKKKK!!!! So excited!
Till next time!
Here is a pic I took on Labor Day
