@ 33 weeks along things are really starting to get cramped & I'm not just talking about my legs ughhh! I have been lucky enough to not have heartburn, at all. The clumsiness is something else though. We have a name we think we like, and are excited for him to arrive. I am having trouble with sleeping, between not being able to lay on my tummy or my back, having to choose between my right or my left sides. Actually, fully waking up to switch sides every 2 or so hours, because he settles in my RIBS and I wake up from the pain (it feels like my ribs are bruised). I also fully wake up to jump out of bed because of the leg cramps, which are just out of this world. The braxon hix have set in. I have had a few that stop me from walking or talking. Now, I am still unsure what to expect, Justin and Brianna were both induced, the doc had to break my water and all. Scheduled births, thats right, no surprises. lol I am starting to get worried, I wasn't working when I had Justin or Brianna, and Brian was by my side nearly all the time. Now, I work 2 days a week and located in the next town from the hospital I plan to have this little boy. How does one get to the hospital if they are having contractions? Uhhh! Brian did point out he will be off school for the 3 weeks before we are due. Still. I have all of a sudden remembered the pain. Haha. Not that falling down the stairs twice was pain enough, or how about a root canal with no meds? I just know how to do it to myself! The pain, I guess partly my fault for not taking the meds the docs offer. Oh well. All is better for mommy and baby without. With all the fears also comes excitement. What (who) will he look like? What will he turn out like? What will it be like to have a baby around ALL the time again? Will we be sure not to 'favor' the baby? How will life change as we know it. We have had a TON of fun buying baby things. Got a nice over-the-internet-only car seat from Babies-r-us. Got the sweetpeace swing (WOW). We still need a couple things, one is a baby monitor. What kind will we get. I want one that maybe transmits both ways (if they make one) and/or the video one. Craigslist is my friend :) |
