I'm another year older today! I have no idea what being 39 should feel like but I definitely don't feel like I'm this close to 40. I feel young still and I guess that's what's important :)
Husband and I met our obstetrician today and she's really nice! According to the scale at the OB's office, I've lost 7 pounds. I don't think that's possible but heck, I'm not going to complain. Also my BP was 97/61 which is a lot lower than I thought it would be. I was actually thinking that it was going to be much higher than usual.
Last week I was getting some pain in my breasts along the sides near my underarms and there was some swelling and lumps there. The pain eventually went away but it returned on the left side the other night. I barely slept last night due to the pain. I had to sleep in a spare bedroom so that my husband could get some sleep. I put on my heating pad and tried to get some rest but only think I got about 3 hours of sleep. Turns out that my milk ducts are clogged up. The OB told me to keep heat on it (shower or heating pad) and to massage the lump. Massaging the lumps hurt like heck, but I'll give it a try. Anything to help me sleep!
I can finally see my stomach move when baby moves and kicks. He likes to kick me up near my ribs on the right side under my breast. When we were at the doctor today she was able to tell me his position and yup, those are his feet kicking me. The small flutters I feel in my lower abdomen are his hands and arms. She listened to the baby's heart and said "that's a happy baby". :)
I go back for an ultrasound on the 20th and another appointment with the OB that day too after the u/s. My next appointment with my regular doctor is on the 14th. I'll be seeing my OB every 2 weeks up until my 38th week then weekly after that.
That's it for now. I'm going to pick up my husband from work soon then we're off to get some birthday ice cream at Baskin Robbins. :)
