35 Week Check-Up

Worst Appointment Ever.

My doctor confused me the entire time. First, she said I was measuring on schedule, then she said I was measuring 1 week behind. Second, she said I didn't need to come back for two weeks, but then said I need to come back in 1 week. Third, I wanted to smack her. lol.

So anyway, I am measuring only one week behind now which means I don't have to have a growth ultrasound. I'm a little bummed because I really wanted to get a chance to see her again before she was born, but I guess the wait will make it even better. At the same time, I'm happy I don't have to have it because that means (hopefully!) that nothing fishy is going on in there.

I'll be going back on Friday for a GBS test as well as my first internal. I am terrified! I know that it isn't a great predictor of when labor will begin, but I like to think so anyway. I hope there is some progress, it'll make me at least feel like I won't be overdue. No one knows, except the Haley girl though.

34 weeks down...

...and hopefully less than 6 to go. That is crazy that I am in the single digit weeks left now. I have another doctor appointment next Friday. It's my last one before I start going weekly. What a scary thought.

Well...I'm going to be a mother soon. Look out world!

33 Week Check-Up

Yesterday was my 33 week appointment. Blood pressure and all is fine, as usual. I'm measuring 2 weeks behind at the moment. Doctor said she could probably have slowed down growth and then speed right back up and catch up again. She is going to check me again at my next appointment on the 24th. She said if I am still measuring behind we are going to do another ultrasound to see what's going on in there.

While I am beyond excited to get another peak at her inside my belly before she's born, I'm still worried that something could be wrong. I know I shouldn't worry, especially when the doctor tells me not to worry and doesn't seem that worried about it. I still can't help it. I hope all is okay in there.

Thanks to my darling mother, she says I can't possibly get any fatter and doesn't believe I could be measuring behind. How nice of her.

Dear Sleep Gods,

I beg of you to give me a good nights sleep.

I just want to sleep.

I haven't slept solid in months, and it is just getting worse.

I am tired all day and all night long.

Can I at least have a nice nap when I get home?

Love,

Ashley

That is all for now, I guess.

32 weeks down.

Today I am 32 weeks pregnant - only 8 to go. Well, maybe. As long as I make it to 37 weeks, then Haley can make her exit at any time after that!

For the most part, I'm still feeling pretty well although some symptoms are coming back from the first trimester. I am started to get worn out pretty easily. By the end of the work day, I am totally exhausted, so I have resorted to taking naps again. My feet are swollen almost all day long every day. It sucks, but at least it's a good excuse to have to wear flip flops every day. By the way, thank you Old Navy for selling them 2 for $5. I have many fun spring colors now and I LOVE it.

It's hard to believe that it is April 1st. I can officially say that Haley is due next month. How crazy is that? It really doesn't feel like it's been a full 7 months already. Although I can say with certainty that I absolutely can't wait to meet her.
