Four more weeks! Things are looking good for baby and me. At my appointment on Tuesday baby had a strong heartbeat at 140 bpm (higher than it normally is for him) and I’m measuring on track. My doctor did the GBS test and the first internal for this pregnancy. I’m at 1 cm! Not much, but at least my body is doing something. I haven’t felt any Braxton Hicks contractions with this pregnancy. I didn’t ever feel any with S either.
I actually slept through the entire night on Tuesday. This is quite the feat since either S or my body’s need to go to the bathroom (or both!) have me up a few times every night. I woke up in the morning wondering what happened!
A few minor heartburn episodes, swollen feet that come and go, but really, just feeling BIG. Getting S dressed, reading with her, playing with her on the floor are challenging for me. S and I planted some flowers last weekend and I made her do all the dirty work since she’s closer to the ground…not that she minded, especially with her Dora gardening gloves! 🙂
Baby boy’s nursery is basically complete. Waiting on a throw pillow for the chair and I need to steam the curtains and dust ruffle. The big thing this weekend is making some space in the freezer so I have some room for the meals that I plan on making next weekend. I also need to finish packing my hospital bag. Other than that, I think we are pretty well set to meet this new little one!
So glad to hear that things are going well. It won’t be long now!! I can remember with our first when the doctor told us… “anytime after 36 weeks, I’ll let you go.” That was an eye-opener knowing that no matter what now, if the baby was ready we better be ready too! Good luck and I hope your next few weeks go by quickly.
