Today I am 39 weeks.......

It seems I need to refresh this for some time.  I am currently 39 weeks which means I am a week away from my full term.  Most women have their kid between 37-40 weeks.  Apparently, I am the 'lucky one' that gets to make it full term.  I go back next Wed. to discuss inducing me.

I started having back pains/labor Christmas day that lasted all day.  I then had it on and off since then and went to the Dr on Monday to make sure what it was.  I managed to not have moved AT all from the 2 weeks before of 1.5 cm.  Which sucks considering they would put me in at 3 cm or more.

Being my first kid, this has been a good and bad experience for me.  I have been so grateful and excited to be able to get pregnant with such a great man, my hubby. 

I have had an awesome pregnancy up until the last month.  I have asked myself and others WHY would a woman want to do this more then once.  I am sure once I have him and am able to see him all of my bad thoughts will change.  I hope. 

We will see, wish me luck

Dr appointment tomorrow

I am sitting here with more pressure on my bladder, more pain when I sleep, more weight being lower.  I am feeling the pregnancy more now then I have ever felt.  I knew that being I had such a good 7 months, my other 2 had to be bad.  I guess not everyone can have a perfect pregnancy.  So many women have told me that is what they want to do again, have a child.  I do feel that this will be my only one.  I am having a boy and I have a step daughter so I am happy...lol.  Now this may ALL change once I see him for the 1st time, but I have NO plans to form a football team....lol

Tomorrow will be my 34 weeks checkup, then I start the weekly instead of bi-weekly and they will be checking the cervix.  Yay.  When they initially did the pap smear when I found out I was preggo, it hurt badly.  Swollen I suppose to I hate that.

I will let you know how tomorrow goes.  So far, BP is ok, weight is ok, heartbeat ok....

My 32 weeks checkup......

Up until this point, I did NOT want to know how much weight I gained in this experiance.  I finally got the nerve to ask today being I am noticing how the belly is nothing BUT kid.  It appears I have only gained 13 lbs so far.  I can honestly say that according to my stretch marks, they say otherwise..lol

I am beginning to come to terms more that I am going to be a mom.  The movement of this fiesty creature in me is proving I have a lot to expect when he comes into thie world.  I am excited about the finished product more so than the process of getting him here.  I had my first 'fake labor pain' and I did not enjoy that one bit.  It made me think twice about attempting to do thing natural even though everyone is telling me I should.

I know everyone is different in how they react to pain.  I was told in my 36 weeks is when they will check the cervix and also be able to know when he is expected.  I'm nervous b/c the first pap smear while pregnant was BAD.  painful even

I'm predicting now, december 29th, 8 lbs 6 oz 21 inches long..lets see what happens...hehehe

28th Week Checkup

This was the normal Dr trip, but I had to take the glucose drink to check and make sure my sugar was ok.  The first sip was like a sweet tart, but the more you drank it, the worse it got.  I thought it being Fruit Punch it would help, but it did not.  I could not eat or drink anything afterward and as I sat, the more bleh I got.

I arrived at 9:30am and they took me right in, and i was surprised.  I usually go in the afternoon and end up shutting the place down waiting.  Well, I thought too far ahead of myself.  Dr Fryer, one of the rotation Dr’s, took the measurement, felt for cankles and left. 

I waited until 10:15 to go to the back since I had drank that crap at 9:15.  I got back there and they took two MORE valves full.  When I first went, the girl told me that I shouldn’t have a problem since I have tattoos.  Ok, let’s contemplate this, Tattoos are the scrapping of the skin and goes through layers of your skin NOT into the vain.  So, after the 6^th tube, she had 2 more to go and I was getting bad.  Started turning white.  When she finished, I walked into the bathroom, through water on my face and was fine.  So, after these two valves, she opened one and did a sugar test and it was fine.  YET, I had to wait for the results of the mandatory syfalis test to be ran.  He came out and said everything was fine.  I have another appt. in two weeks to see Dr Collins.  I can’t wait to see ALL the Dr’s so I won’t feel like ‘who is this touching me’ feeling…..

I went to work and have been running crazy ever since I got here.

1st Bloge

I am currently 6 months pregnant and am attempting to figure out this whole ‘wonderful pregnancy’ thing.  I have talked to many mothers who have older children who would do it again as well as people who just have had kids and still would want to have another.  They tell me they love pregnancy and would do it again.

I have a broken out face, stretch marks, ALMOST cankles (which I can’t STAND), and having to piss EVERY 10 minutes if not sooner.  I’m figuring this out.  Each day I am trying to see it all.  And I am sure as SOON as I lay eyes on my baby boy, all of these thoughts will fly OUT of my head and I will want to do it again.

I have a step daughter that I have practically raised with her father, my hubby, and I consider her my own.

I have a daughter and soon a son and I can’t wait.

I’m using this journal to keep track of being a mom.  It’s my first and want to keep up with myself
