The Good: BP has been behaving itself...and only 44 days until my RCS, but who's counting?
The Bad: The heartburn is ridiculous! I'm pretty sure I will be bitching about this for the next 6 weeks if something doesn't change.
The Ugly: Weight gain! I had been holding steady most of this pregnancy, I was still 4 pounds under pre-pregnancy weight, all of a sudden I gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks...WTF!?!? I really hope this is just water retention, my diet hasn't changed and I've been more active, so I don't get it and I'm mad.
GTKY: Hows the nursery coming along? If I had the baby today baby would have a place to sleep...that's about it. But next weekend is supposed to be pretty rainy and gross so I plan on setting the rest of the nursery up then. I'm not going to waste this incredible weather being stuck inside...my winter was far too long for that!
ETA: Sorry for the novel, I must have a lot of feelings that I needed to get out, geesh!
The Good: I've been feeling better this week and sleeping better. I even managed to wake up before work for a morning walk every day this week! I think this is helping a ton to keep me from getting too stiff/sore/whale-like.
The Bad: I want to eat all the time and can't get food off my mind. I've been good but after next weeks weigh in I'm getting a sour cream donut from DUnkin Donuts! Yummmmmm
The Ugly: I'm pretty moody.. Poor husband must be over this pregnancy thing.
GTKY: Hows the nursery coming along? Nursery is almost finished! My husband and FIL made me a shelf that needs to be finished/hung.. Other than that I have a lot of little projects to finish (longie fleece pants, taggies, blankets, and cloth wipes). I'm about to get my sew on!
The Good: I'm getting excited. Not that I wasn't before but since all the kicking has started and I'm starting to really show, I feel like I've been bonding more with my LO.
The Bad: random bouts of heartburn when I first lay down and getting up every two hours to pee in the middle of the night. Ugh.
The Ugly: the hip pain when I roll over at night and the pressure. Oh, and not being able to suck in my tummy when needed- I run into all sorts of things- car doors, countertops... It's sad.
GTKY: Hows the nursery coming along? Better than it was a few weeks ago. Crib is up, changer/dresser is in place, and my bedding came in from Target on Thursday. Is 32 weeks too early to start washing stuff?? Still need a ton of stuff though and MIL still hasn't set a date for my shower. At this point I'm just buying stuff! Next major purchase- rocker/glider.
Good: 3 weeks left till maternity leave!
Bad: lots of pressure in my belly when im standing or sitting up
Ugly: getting comfy in bed turns into a 3 hour event resulting in minimal sleep and a cranky mama
Nursey is about half way there. Still need curtains and a rug and something to cover this huge empty wall
Good: only 5 weeks to go (although I have a feeling he'll come sooner that that).
Bad: I feel like this kid is trying to push his way out of me every time I use the restroom.
Ugly: everything hurts. EVERYTHING.
GTKY: still working on organizing stuff and still want to get a couple of things for the nursery, such as a mobile, shelves for books and bookends. Other than that, it's good to go.
The Good: Only 2 more weeks til full term! Holy cow!
The Bad: Baby girl has permanently dug her foot into my rib cage, making breathing very uncomfortable.
The Ugly: No sleep. Ever.
GTKY: The nursery has been done for a few weeks now. I almost wish I had more to do in there because I want to be in there all the time!
The Good: we are one week closer to d-day!
The Bad: the heat and exhaustion is starting to really get to me… and it's only in the low 80s
The Ugly: everything hurts and I'm dying
GTKY: Hows the nursery coming along? Pretty much complete, just have a few things to finish up. It's the minor things such as hanging a shelf (when it comes in), putting up the decor on said shelf, and putting away the tools that keep collecting on the changing table.
35 Weeks: Coconut!!!
I started weekly NST this week due to the GD. Baby's heart rate responded well to movement. But I was showing contractions. My OB decided to check me. I was 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated. I have been having lots of contractions and some flashes of pain in my woohoo ever since. But contractions not close enough to go to the hospital. I am still allowed to work, especially since I am delivering down the hall from my unit. I really want him to stay in until at least 37 weeks. White baby boys are usually wimpy when they are early, especially when their mommy has GD. But I know he is big enough that if he behaves he would not have to go to NICU.
March 2013: First TTC trip to RE, On 1500 mg Metformin, April 2013: PCOS and Endometriosis, May 2013: DH Low volume; Femara 7.5 mg + IUI #1 = BFN, July 2013: Femara 7.5 mg + IUI #2 = BFN, August 2013: Femara 7.5 mg (X5) + Bravelle (X7) + Ovidrel + IUI #3 + Endometrin = BFP MC at 5w3d,
October 2013: Follistim (X14) + Ovidrel + IUI #4 + Endometrin =BFP!!!
Anywho...
Good-- 3 more weeks of work and all my hard work (IEPs and state testing) is done after tomorrow so we can coast through the last few weeks of school.
Bad-- having some back pain and contractions. My mom is extra concerned I'm going into labor now but it's nothing abnormal at this point. Just very uncomfy and painful at times. LO is kicking and punching in some funky places that are killin me too but at least I know she's moving
Ugly--Heartburn and gas! omg I'm having to take 2 zantac a day to keep from having unbearable heartburn and reflux... and I totally just farted uncontrollably while watching netflix with DH lol... Good thing he loves me!
GTKY-- what nursery??? I have nothing set up and we haven't gotten our crib yet. Yikes! I do have my rock n play though so if it came down to it and her crib isn't ready and she's early LO has something so I'm not entirely stressing.
Good: The end is in sight, and I still adore all the kicking and being with the little guy like this. Can't wait for him to be out, but this is all still cool. I've also been more active this past week, which is great for getting things done but leads to...
The bad and the ugly: I ache so stinkin' bad it sucks- more then managing the GD at this point. I can't wait for this to be over. Every joint hurts or turns numb I can't stand the pain. I finally took some tylenol for it last night and it barely touched anything. We have been building DS an outdoor playset, so the physical activity is doing me in there, but if I was merely taking a 30 minute walk, it would have the same effect. By late afternoon I have to do activities that involve sitting only, and I can't walk at the end of the day. I hope all of this leaves with the baby arriving, but I'm not hopeful. I was this bad on bad days before being pregnant and I'm really struggling with being in my late thirties and having the activity ability of an 80 year old.
nursery, what nursery?! Baby has clean clothes and a cosleeper, a dresser and changing table in DS's room, we'll be doing the rest later- I still have to convince the 4 year old boy that he can give up his convertible crib day bed for far cooler bunk beds
