Weight this week:171.4
Change since last week:+1.4
Weight gain overall: 24.4 pounds
Symptoms: continued stiffness in thighs and hips-getting worse!, some acid reflux, difficulty breathing at times, still lots of movement from baby, however, not as many kicks-more movement, I honestly feel pretty good, it's just getting harder to move around, restless legs when I'm trying to get to sleep at night-so annoying!
Cravings: Still really none!
33 Weeks
36 weeks!
Hematologist Appointment-Dr. Pierce-11:30, Thurs Oct 24.
I was nervous for this one! This was to check my platelet levels. The drew my blood and we waited. It was at 95! Which is still good. She wants to see me back every 7-10 days to continue to retest until birth. It makes me feel better that it's more stabilized. It seems to be bouncing between 85-105 the past 4 weeks and I hope it continues to do so and not drop anymore.
36 Week Appointment-Dr. Hayes-12:45-Thurs Oct 24
We did the usual, blood pressure/weight/belly measuring. Then they had to swab for strep B which I thought would be painful, but it wasn't. He then did a cervical check, I'm still "soft" but no dilation or effacement yet, so that's good. Our next two appointments are with Dr. Jaglan, our other favorite doctor. I wish I knew when they were on call, they are my two favorites!
Labor and Delivery Class
It really has been so helpful. This class has taught us all the different ways to give labor, what medications can be used and the side effects, breathing techniques and the hospital tour. It was very helpful and I feel much more prepared. I am however, more nervous about giving birth, but any way it goes, she's coming out somehow!
Baby thoughts
We have the crib and dresser together and the wall color picked out! We finally found the right greens. It's all slowly coming together. We still need to order a bookshelf or play type shelves to put baskets in and a rocker. There's still a lot to do: get the hospital bag together, wash diapers, buy whatever we don't get from our shower. So, we're getting there slowly but surely! I know I said November 1 to have this done, but it may be more like November 7. I'm hoping she comes early, but not too early!
Matching dresser, pain in the butt to put together, took Dan 4 hours, but it is perfect!
Next week: Shower this weekend :)..then 37 weeks! Eeeek!!
