36 Weeks!

Happy Birthday to me tomorrow!

My mornings: They fluctuate, some are fine and some are really hard. Now that I am on modified bedrest I get to stay at home.

My nights: Tossing and turning. Sometimes the pillow helps but sometimes it is just in the way.

How far along: 36 weeks!

How big is baby: Honeydew, about 17.2-18.7" and 4.2-5.8 lbs. -> although I know this isn't quite true. She is probably closer to 6.5-7.5lbs now.

Weight Gain: I am up about 20 lbs from pre pregnancy weight. We think 12-13 lbs of it is from the PIH swelling water weight though.

Appointments: I had one Tuesday and everything looked fine other than the PIH. 8lbs gained in 1 week, more swelling but no other issues. I went to Labor and Delivery triage Wednsday because of a headache I couldn't kick and high over the limit blood pressure. I was deemed feeling shitty but baby was still happy. I went to see an OB the next day and was put in modified bed rest.

I have another appointment this coming Tuesday but unless things worsen I am being induced on 4/12.

How I’m changing: Just huge and uncomfortable.

What I miss: Not feeling pain.

Symptoms: Backache, hips hurt, heartburn, my tailbone aches, fatigue.

Cravings: All the ice cream.

Food Aversions: Nothing.

Highlights this week: Bedrest! Boo.

Maternity clothes:  Same as before.

Stretch marks: a ton of raised ones in my lower belly that are tender.

Sleep: Painful.

Movement: I feel it all the time, especially now that I have to sit still more.

SEX: Baby girl! Josephine Mae.

Labor signs: Now that I am being induced next Sunday I am hopingf for them a bit. At least some dilation.

Belly button: Innie

What I am looking forward to: Being done now that I am basically there.

Milestones: Almost there.

Other: Bedrest sucks.
