I was 32 weeks on Monday and had my appt. today.
I did the glucose test and guess what?
They have a new lemon-lime flavored drink and its WAY better than the orange one.
But I got a wicked bad bruise from where she drew my blood today.
Gained another 6 lbs.
Which means I've gained almost the recommended amount for my size.
I am still measuring a few days big.
And boy, can I feel it.
I talked with her a little bit about her policy on inducing me and gave her my history of the girls labors.
She said she would induce as early as 39 weeks if she thinks I'm ready.
But judging by how things went with Maddie, I should be ready by then if I haven't already gone on my own.
She is actually on vacation on my due date, so she would prefer that I go early anyways. :)
Other than that, not much has changed.
Just waiting it out at this point.
How am I feeling these days?
I think he is sitting much lower than my girls.
I carried both of them up really high in my ribs.
With him, I just have this constant feeling of intense pressure on my lower belly and back.
It was getting bad, so a few days ago I went and bought a maternity support belt.
It helps a lot but has its cons.
Like I have to take it on and off every time I go to the bathroom....which is a lot.
It also makes it hard to bend, but it does help a lot when I'm doing a lot of
walking/standing/cleaning, etc.
It just lifts him up taking the pressure off a bit and helping my back.
My back still constantly hurts but I feel good other than that.
I keep hitting a wall around 1pm every afternoon and get super tired.
It definitely takes much more energy than normal to do anything.
I'm trying not to carry/lift Maddie around so much, but she is just so cuddly. :)
Colby started picking up all the vacuuming and mopping chores for me.
I just get everything cleaned up and ready and he does that part because it kills my back.
Thanks honey.
Only 8 weeks till my due date, though I'm still predicting that I won't make it that long. :)
