Update on pregnancy # 2 and other stuff

So much for keeping up with this blog..

It was drama trying to recover my password but low and behold, I have access again.

I will be 38 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow. Well Dr Shull has my due date as 4/24 but he isn't right :) Anyway, she is due between 4/22-4/24 but a due date really means nothing right?

Anyway, I'm still pregnant - very pregnant. My belly is hard as a rock and stretched as tight as it will go.

My dr's appts have been uneventful. At my 36 week check up I was tested for Group B Step and my OB did an internal exam. My cervix was still high up and closed at that appointment.

My 37 week check up my Group B Strep came back negative. No more pelvic exams until my 39 week check up. My BP was up a little bit but there was a student nurse who took my BP and she didn't do the cuff right so I don't think it was accurate and my doctor wasn't concerned. Nothing really to report.

I thought she seemed in a hurry to get here but she seems to be changing her mind. I'm still working, albeit miserable, I'm working. I'm over it and pretty useless but I am sitting my desk breathing at work. I look forward to lunch breaks and pee breaks (which are frequent). I thought I might have lost my mucus plug yesterday which doesn't really mean anything if I did.

Nesting comes and goes. I got a lot done last night. Finally got caught up on laundry - just about 2 more loads and I'll be done. Harrison had a pukey stomach bug this weekend so that added about 4 loads of laundry to my already heaping stacks. Our room is ready, we moved our old bedroom suite to storage and rearranged our room. There is a lot more space now and it accommodates Kadie's bassinett much better. Harrison loves it. I think he feels like a king on our bed now. I'm not sure why but he sits in the center of it and just smiles. I've pretty much washed all the baby clothes I'm going to wash at this point since I don't know how big she will be and if she is really a she. I mean our u/s scans show that she is a girl but you never really know until you see them in real life. I think this week I will work on projects like cleaning baseboards and carpets to keep me busy then I will feel like our house is clean enough for a baby. I desparately want to organize my tupperware cabinet and hallway storage but with this giant belly, it really isn't practical. Anyway, I guess I'm at the point where I don't want to go far from home. In fact, I'm content with staying at home until I go into labor, except going to stupid work. Maybe if I look miserable enough on Thursday, he will take me out of work. I think my short term disability will pick up 2 weeks prior to your due date just because. Well, it is time for my lunch break at work. I'll try to update this blog after my next appointment. Peace out.
