Can anyone really believe I'm here? Kicking, complaining and pregnant at 37 weeks?!
I said that if I made it this far I was going to call my "insurance pregnancy program" nurse and give her my piece of mind...
Long story short - she called my doctor and told them that I needed to be on hormone shots every week so that I wouldn't go into preterm labor again (no discussion with me prior to this phone call they made on my behalf). So I show up at doctor's office at 18 weeks and they are prepared to start sticking me in the butt with hormones... EXCUSE ME?!? My body, my pregnancy, my baby, my decision. It wasn't pretty. We haven't had the best relationship since that confrontation. Needless to say, I'd like to shove the facts back in her face. I made it to 37 weeks (which is only how long the shots supposedly get you to), so take that!
Anyways... moving on now that I'm all worked up about it again!
Due Date: August 27th
Weeks: 37 weeks (can anyone really believe that we will soon be holding a sweet baby boy in such short time!)
Doctor Report: Doctor tomorrow UPDATE: Doctor confirmed that we have a full term baby! We should have no issues or NICU stay! Felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders when she said that. Whew. Measured right at 37 weeks.
Gender: BOY
Name: First name has been decided, a middle name has not.
Total Weight Gain: Let's pretend this doesn't matter
Miss Anything: Everything. Being a "normal" person.
Best Moment this Week: I feel like this whole post is negative... but I honestly can't think of a "best moment" this week... I guess that means I am ready anytime for the arrival!
Labor Signs: Nope; though he's dropped even lower. If that's possible. I swear his head is resting on my pelvic bone, therefore, all pressure is on my left hip creating a lot of sharp pain.
Belly Button in or out: Completely flat
Maternity Clothes: Even those are starting to get to be slim pickings. The baby has dropped because all my pants are tight around my lower abdomen. Which isn't exactly comfortable when you are sitting all day. The rest of the pant fits, just that seam where the stretchy meets the regular material isn't low enough anymore.
Sleep: Wishing I was. A lot of hit and miss.
Food: Sweets over salt.
Exercise: None
Pregnancy Symptoms: I swelled up yesterday, pretty bad. Fingers and feet. Officially over the 9th month.
Happy or Moody: Lots of moodiness these past couple days. It isn't pretty. The psychic said that my moods are so strong that everyone within a twenty mile radius knows when I'm in a good mood and when I'm in a bad mood. Well, I think they've figured it out... Monday - good, All downhill from there.
Movement: He's still making room to move and shove. Getting quite painful.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Not being pregnant! (still the case ;))
