Let's see... I hit 36 weeks on May 2 and went in for our first weekly appointment. I get to go see our midwife, Jane, every week now until Sproutster is here! We made a few changes to our birth plan which I will give her a hard copy of this week or next once Louie and I finalize everything. Sprout's little heart was beating in the 150s, and Sprout is still head down, though posterior. Things are looking good!
However, things are not feeling as good. As soon as I hit 36 weeks, all the discomfort you always hear all the pregnant ladies talking about finally hit! I'm swelling just a tad (no more wedding ring), baby is sitting pretty low causing some pretty surprising pains, I have to go to the bathroom all. the. time., sleeping is a pain in the butt, my back hurts, and I've been experiencing some really obnoxious Braxton Hicks contractions along with some very uncomfortable kicks and movements from Sprout. It's not THAT bad, but after a long day of work, it does make me pretty cranky.
I'm in nesting mode - doing lots of laundry and organizing of baby things. We need to get just a few more things which will happen this week/weekend. I've only got 2 more weeks of work left until I go on maternity leave - YAY! I'm excited to have some down time (hopefully) before Sprout gets here and just focus on sleeping and growing this baby.
Just a few more weeks!
