According to my ticker there are 21 days until he is born! That doesn't seem like that long, but in pregnant time things tend to seem a lot slower! Sunday will mark me at 36 weeks 4 days, which is how far along I was when I had the girls, so on Monday I will be the most pregnant I've ever been! Obviously no worries about preterm labor over here!
I didn't make a 35 week update, oops! I was planning to do it on Thursday after my ultrasound again but I forgot, then I kept forgetting, and I also was not using my desktop computer to get online for almost a week. Every time I sat down to the computer my back was screaming at me, I could not even sit here for 5 minutes, so I was just using my kindle to check facebook and that was it!
Updates this week - On Sunday I had some momentary energy and decided to get all the laundry and a bunch of dishes done. I started noticing a pretty drastic increase in watery discharge lacking any distinct smell (it didn't smell like pee basically lol) and it lasted all day long. Luckily I had an appt right away on Monday morning so I mentioned it to my doctor since they were checking my cervix for dilation anyway so they checked and said there wasn't anything leaking as far as they could tell. I requested an ultrasound just to verify fluid levels and everything was perfect there too! I still have the increase in discharge, but at least now I know it's pretty much a normal 3rd trimester thing and not amniotic fluid! Apparently amniotic fluid will have a very distinct sickeningly sweet smell so hopefully if anything does happen I will have some type of clue.
Last Thursdays ultrasound was really cute, he was sucking on his hand when we went to get a picture of his face! He even yawned and opened his mouth up real big! On Monday he was really really sucking on his hand, you could see his little mouth just sucking and sucking away! I swear it was probably the cutest thing I have seen so far, and he's been adorable the whole time! He must have been sucking pretty good cause he had the hiccups from it! I think we might have another pacifier baby on our hands, since my other two are STILL fighting me tooth and nail not to get rid of theirs at 19 months. Oh well at this point!
The girls are still doing swimming lessons on Saturdays, due to technical difficulties with the pool and then the instructor getting sick we've only had 3 classes, but it's like night and day difference the way they act in the pool now! Allison is a kicking/swimming machine, and Vanessa doesn't kick the whole time but she's getting much much better at it! Allison has absolutely no problem going underwater, in fact you have to watch her cause she'll do it regardless if you are asking her to or paying attention or not! It's a good thing and a bad thing, bad that you HAVE to pay attention to her every second (not that you wouldn't obviously), but good that she's not afraid of the water. Vanessa has her moments, she doesn't exactly mind going underwater and will do it willingly enough but once she's done she's done! But that's her personality, she's my more reserved baby, much less high demand than her sister!
Looking forward to having the baby get here, I'm getting more and more uncomfortable especially since he dropped right after my 35 week mark. I have to pee even more, which I never even thought possible and walking around for extended periods is uncomfortable because it feels like there's something heavy about to fall out lol I don't think I have much to do to prepare, his bed is all set up and there's the bassinet already in the living room. I have a couple of packs of diapers, and so so many clothes! Might need to buy some new pacifiers sine the ones the girls used are discontinued, but that's about all I can think of!
Symptoms - Back pain, acne, lightning crotch from him pressing his head down, heartburn.
Food cravings - Jimmy John's, I could eat it every day!
Size of baby - He gets measured again tomorrow, I'm going to guess that he weighs about 5lbs 12ish ounces.
