Hopefully, this will be the last of my updates since I'm in my final week of pregnancy! Some days I feel like the time passed by way too fast but most times I feel like I've been pregnant forever. Unfortunately, the last two weeks have sucked. I've experienced all the yucky and uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms and then some. On Saturday, I went to the hospital because my contractions were 5-6 minutes apart but being only 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, I was sent home. Now, it looks like I'm having a long prelabor. Ugh.
My original plan was to work right up until my water breaks, however, I'm now working from home until I'm off maternity leave. I'm kind of a workaholic so I fear that I'll lose my mind but the health of my baby is the most important thing to me right now. Thankfully, even though I feel really crappy, Lucas is healthier than ever!
Weight Gain?: I've gained a total of about 35 pounds.
Maternity Clothes?: I'm mostly wearing dresses now and my husband's work out clothes at night! Ha!
Symptoms?: Ugh, yuck. Very crampy and uncomfortable.

Symptoms?: Ugh, yuck. Very crampy and uncomfortable.
Sleep?: Sleep is non existent because of my hip pain. I started using the Snoogle more and that really helps!
Do I miss anything?: Not being uncomfortable.
Movement?: He's run out of room so his cute little kicks are now like a slow Matrix like move.
Anything making you sick or queasy?: I still can't stand air fresheners.
Food cravings?: Chocolate chip cookies and home cooked meals.
Have you started to show?: YES.
Boy or a Girl?: Boy!
Best Moment This Week?: Realizing that in a couple of days I'll get to meet my lil man! This past weekend, I picked up lots of cute little things for his newborn photos that I'm so excited about as well!

I am so excited! I can't wait! I know what u mean about working. When i was delivering my second child, i had just graduated college ( a week before!), had a very small toddler at home, worked at two family owned companies (one just up on its newborn feet itself ) a hard working husband with a very odd schedule, and we were buying a house!

ReplyDeleteOh Maria... you need to have that baby already! ;) Mopping the floors and shoveling for my winter baby did the trick to start labor. ;)

Pelvic tilts! Here's a good video. I know you're almost there, but it might provide some relief in the final days here. They helped me a ton. Good luck!
