OB Today

5 days!

I have an appointment today with my OB at 12:45, I hope she's in today and I don't get that doctor I had last week.

My in-laws have been staying with us for a week so far since we all thought Nathan would arrive early and they came to help out. I'm hoping that my doctor will try to get labor going as my body is just getting more and more worn out every day. My feet look like they're going to explode! I've been trying to drink water and put them up whenever I can but it doesn't seem to help much. My arms haven't been bothering me which is good! Still numbness and weakness but not much pain. I slept for almost 5 hours last night which makes me very happy :) I love my new chair! My cat even likes it and she sleeps with me for a few hours every night which she usually doesn't do when I'm in bed, probably because I toss and turn every 5 minutes when I'm laying down.

As far as baby pains go, I am still having pelvic pain and pressure and it's hard to stand or walk for very long. My back has also been hurting quite a bit. Nathan doesn't have much room to move anymore and eventhough he's dropped, his feet are still up in my ribs. Two weeks ago my OB said he weighed over 9 pounds and if he's supposed to be gaining 1/2 pound a week then currently he's 10 pounds. That's a big baby! And even if he's not 10 pounds, he's at least very long since he's dropped but still able to reach my ribs! I am still getting growing pains in my abdomen along my sides but the Braxton Hicks have lessened.

I'm feeling better mentally and emotionally, and I think it has to do with the sleep I've been able to get. Have I mentioned that I love my new chair? :)

We bought a Dyson vacuum and it's AWESOME! I can't believe how clean our carpets are, they look like they've been steam cleaned! It was pricey but well worth it!

We're going to be moving in the next two months which is going to be stressful but I'm pretty excited about it. My teen son has decided to go with us which makes me very very happy. He's been staying with us for a few weeks and things are going well. He's still on medication and our doctor increased it to 20mg from 10mg last week. He meets with her again this week to check in to see how it's going.

Overall, things are good. I'll post later about the results of my OB appointment!
