Well I can't believe it, but I'm at 30 weeks preggie....that means 10 weeks (or less) to go!! I can't believe its been almost a month since I"ve last written on here. Lots to catch up on.....
+ I failed the One Hour Glucose test; but I passed the 3 hour...thank goodness!!
+ I started a Hypnobirthing class. I've done lots of research about this and I think that this is the awesome & positive way to achieve a natural child-birthing experience. So far I've only had one class; my next one is coming up this weekend. I spoke to my Doula about it and she thinks its a wonderful thing to combine with her assistance. I'm so determined to deliver my Boogie naturally; to have him/her not be affected by any medication that doesn't need to be introduced to him/her. To have her/him be completely awake and aware when we first meet face to face.
+ On a note about Boogie; he/she has been been so active lately! Especially on my right side. Whew, are my ribs sore! I wish he/she would move to the left side and let the right side be for a little bit! Sleeping has been a pretty eventful experience, especially for the last several weeks. Rolling over is such an enormous act that wakes me up all night long.
+ HEARTBURN. This deserves its own bullet. Heartburn is an all day long experience for me. Even milk gives me heartburn!! It wakes me up in the middle of the night and its so difficult because if its 4 hours before my scheduled time to take my Synthroid, I have to suffer with the heartburn; I cannot mix Tums with my Synthroid. So I try to prop myself up when I go to bed, but of course during the course of my sleep I'm back down to my comfortable position but unfortunately always gives me heartburn! YUCKY!!
So on my last meeting with my Doula, Susan; we discussed pressure points to start around 36 weeks. Also around 32 weeks starting to do Perineal massage and again at 36 weeks starting to insert Evening Primrose herbs to start softening my cervix. We also discussed getting a gift bags of sweets ready for the staff on D-day! So today I went shopping and purchased a baby gift bag and bought some sweets (chocolates, worthers originals, and strawberry creme livesavers) for my awesome staff who will be taking care of me and my Boogie. I'm really hoping that my girls will be there and not a new person that I don't know; from when I worked there. We'll see.
There's still so much to do before D-Day! I finally found my letter from the VA to prove that they are covering my pregnancy; I'm supposed to have it with me at all times just in case I go into labor and I couldn't find it after our move...but luckily I found it in the last box I thought it would be in. I still need to pack up an overnight bag; I did buy some travel items today while I was at Target (shampoos/conditioners, lotion, kleenex, listerine, toothpaste, etc) but really need to get crackin'; knowing me I'll go into labor early and have to depend on Daniel to pack things!! LOL
Well gonna hit the sack; I'll update again soon!
