Dr. Appt- 36weeks, 1 day

My appointment went good again today!! Everything is still looking awesome. Haven's heartbeat was at 146bpm. I got my strep B test and got my internal exam. No dilation, but my cervix is soft and the doctor said that Haven's head is really low, so that's great!!! He said he expects me to go a little early since I did with Venily. I am now down to weekly appointments and go back again next week!! SERIOUSLY?! It is all coming so fast now! I also got all pre-registered with Labor & Delivery today!!!! I told Jason, "come on, let's just go upstairs and have this baby today!". He doesn't think that's funny and has been jumping at everything I say again, thinking that maybe I'm in labor, hahaha! He is so worried that he won't have our dryer hooked up before the baby is born. YES, I HAVE NOT HAD A WORKING DRYER SINCE WE MOVED INTO OUR HOUSE IN DECEMBER!!!!! And I haven't even complained about it!! I have to AIR DRY every thing I wash: socks, underwear, towels, EVERYTHING!! I can't wait to have a dryer again!

I had a dream last night that I had the baby. It was not a pleasant dream! I was walking around in my bathroom without pants on and noticed that the baby's head was already out, so I got in the bathtub and pulled her the rest of the way out (that part was fine, lol, no pain, no contractions!). But when I looked at her she was all deformed and her fingers were all fused together. It made me sick to my stomach all morning whenever I thought about it!
I hate dreams like that!

36 weeks!

Here are my 36 week pics:



***1 more week until I'm full-term!!!***

At 36 weeks...

*I'm at 142 lbs (+22 lbs total gain)
*I get tired so easily! At about 3pm I'm wishing for a nap!
*My back still hurts almost constantly and makes it so hard to sleep! And yoga doesn't really help that much any more. I don't know how many more weeks I'll be able to keep going to yoga, it really wears me out! Jason wants me to stop, but Venily really likes going and I like staying active...
*I'm quite concerned about Haven's current position (she seems to be quite sideways!)! I used to be able to feel her hiccups way down by my cervix, but now they are a lot higher up on my right side. Her feet are on my left side! But sometimes she'll go back to head down, feet up. Venily was head down at 20 weeks and NEVER changed positions the whole rest of the time. Guess we will have to see what the doctor says tomorrow! I really hope she decides to get head down and STAY there!!!

(Bassinet is all cleaned and set up next to our bed. Jason was actually really happy that I had it done last week when he came home! And labor bags are getting there... still need to pick up a few things...I sterilized all of my breast pumps, bottles, and baby toys yesterday (since Venily has been playing with them and using them for her babies for a while now))

On my list of things to do this week:
*Clean Haven's carseat
*Pick up any other baby things I need

TOMORROW IS MY APPOINTMENT AND 1ST INTERNAL EXAM!!!! I'm excited to see how things are coming along! Though I'm not expecting much...

September 24, 2007 (36 weeks, 4 days pregnant w/ Venily)

I had the first of my weekly appointments today (hopefully only a few left). It went really well. Everything still looks great. According to their scale though I've gained 4.5 pounds in 2 weeks! My scale says differently though, so who knows. If the doctor's office is right that puts me at a total of 22 pounds so far this pregnancy, which is awesome! But I can feel EVERY pound of it- she's SOOO heavy!!! The doctor checked me and said that her head is really far down which is going to make for an easier delivery, but that it probably feels like I'm walking around w/ a bowling ball between my legs, lol, it sure does! He also thinks that she's about 7 pounds right now!!! I have a feeling that she's going to be BIG! I was talking to my mom and all of her children were over 8 pounds except for my sister (but that was only b/c she was born 4 weeks early at almost 6 pounds anyway). Hopefully she comes in like a week before she can get too gigantic, lol! And, WOW, is she active right now!! All the stuff I read says that she should be slowing down as she runs out of room, but she is really moving all around in there! I had a dream one night that she had bruised the whole inside of my stomach and you could see it from the outside, lol. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised.

Other than being HUGE and having to deal with all of the things that that entails, I don't have any new symptoms, so that's good. Just some lower back pain still and getting tired easily. Jason and I went for a 2 mile hike yesterday at Kettle Moraine and that was really nice. While we were walking Jason told me that he thought I was going to be a great mom and I almost lost it- I don't think I can love him any more than I do right now. Except maybe when I see him with his daughter b/c I already know how much he loves her. About a week ago we went to the Whitewater Aquatic Center and swam, which felt great. I really want to go again. I'm hoping staying active will help this baby come sooner! In 3 days, when I'm officially full term, you can bet that I'm going to be doing everything that I can to get this baby out!!!
