Hey Y'all,
Hope you are all enjoying the HEAT!!! I think I knew for some reason deep down when we got preggo this time around that since this baby is due in the summertime..that it was going to be a nice HOTTTTTT summer.
Last week was a really short apt..so was today's apt. We were in and out of the office fairly quickly and the doctor had even beat the receptionist into the office which rarely every happens. I believe that last week I was up about 3-4lbs in a two week period of time. This week I was up about the same..the baby does grow the most in the last part of the pregnancy. I am however not worried at all due to how much I had lost in weight with being so sick this time around in the first 4 months.
I may now have gained back the 20ish I had lost and say give or take 10lbs on top of that. Today I think i read the scale at 232...seems high...but if the baby is going to be as big as the doctor thinks and the amount of water I am retaining etc..a lot of it will be gone right after delivery or shortly after..after all of this..gestational business..which I gain a lot of weight faster with and the delivery..its on to breastfeeding and a continuous amount of healthy eating, water intake and nice long family walks.
Last week I had to do to the Strep B test. Last pregnancy I was positive...this time around I am not!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!! So excited...which means if my water breaks on its own..highly unlikely..I do not have to have a antibiotic ahead of time..and will not have to be forced to stay in the hospital as long. I may have to for other reasons related to gestational and other normal factors like jaundice etc..but not due to Strep B...PHEW big sigh of relief!!
My Blood pressure is great! Do not know how that is possible if you see my elephant Kankles lately..with heat and water retention....but hey! We heard the heartbeat again today..which has always been fun for Miss E to hear. Doug informed me after the apt that my stomach has grew another inch since last measured lying down since last week. He spied it on the chart.
We go back next Wed!!! This time around we are for sure getting a ultrasound..could be my last one before the baby is due. He is also going to start to do internal exams..yeah!! I know does not sound like fun..probably will hurt...we never got to that part with Miss E..he was going away and I was a couple days before switching to having 2 weeks left..so he waited even though I was already losing my plug. Silly Doctor!!
So since Miss E was two weeks early..he is going to start to do that for us at 3 weeks left..or 2 1/2...just in case. I can tell you now he is moving farther and farther down..between my hips and tailbone screaming at me and the insane pressure on my bladder...I would kinda like to know where we stand. Plus I have definitely been getting some really fun Braxton Hicks Contractions the last couple of weeks.
We go next week on the 17th for the appointment and to see the Diabetes Clinic Dr this Friday for the first time ever!! My morning number is still not where they want it to be..I am jumping it by 2 dialing up more every night for the long lasting..just to see if we can tackle it. Tonight I take 50 units..I am very insulin resistant over night for the long lasting dose. I started taking 14 in the start...My day numbers are usually right on or around target now..taking 10-12...which is working great...I can not wait to be done with all this needle business..I have never felt more like a junkie in my life.
Did I mention Doug has had the 19th...next Friday..while he is on CALL pegged as my date...we shall see! I am hoping its atleast in the 2 weeks left area...19th is a couple days shy. Well that is what is new..post more when we know more..stay cool!
