How big is baby?: according to the doctor right on track.
Stretch marks?:yes but if anyone is seeing my stomach at this point it's because they are my husband or doctor and neither of them care.
Sleep?: good! when i actually sleep it's GREAT but my sleep habits are a bit off with work.
Food cravings? nothing too extreme. this morning Kel asked what i wanted for breakfast and i said "toast and ice cream." the best part is he brought me toast AND ice cream!
Movement?: ALWAYS! she is always moving and it's EXHAUSTING. not to mention when she's more active it's more painful!
Belly button?: very stretched out, but still an innie!
What are you looking forward to this week? honestly just being one week closer. last Friday i was in the hospital having a couple of contractions with some bleeding and back pain. It turns out i had a bladder infections that could possibly have been working it's way to my kidneys (hence the back pain). they gave me meds and said i need to keep my feet up as much as possible. Well this week at work things went CRAZY and i ended up working crazy hours (including an overnight) and it was opposite of what i should have been doing. plus the massive heat wave meant my feet swelled to enormous proportions (the doctor literally was shocked that my FLIP FLOP was still on). So i had a check up yesterday and although i still have a bladder infection it's nothing to worry about. the biggest thing my doctor said is it's still to early to be comfortable with delivery and she's on vacation for the next 2 weeks so i need to be really careful (i actually will be this time). No being outside in the heat AT ALL and nothing intense, she said preferably don't celebrate the 4th just eat food with your feet up. She then said she would be SHOCKED if i didn't deliver early i just need to hold on for 4 more weeks until i am full term!
It's scary to hear a doctor say that baby is already moving into a delivery position and with the heat and my active lifestyle plus all the complications i have already had that baby just needs to wait a few more weeks. As ready as i am to not be pregnant and hold my baby girl i know i need more time and baby ESPECIALLY needs more time. Luckily with everything going on bed rest wouldn't really do much or prevent much so i just need to relax more than i do. This means when i am not working i do no housework and poor kel has to pick up all the slack. i don't think he minds but it bothers me that he does ALL the cleaning and cooking and laundry, etc.
however we added a little bit more accessories to the nursery and all we need are a few more things (the big one's a crib) and it will look ready for a baby!
