I saw Dr. Litherland again today. We are starting to spend quite a bit of time together. It is very reassuring to hear that things are going alright. I went in with quite a few questions today. I think since I am getting so close to my due date, I am starting to worry more. So here is what she told me…My BP is 106/68, Kaylee's heartbeat was 160, she hasn't dropped yet, my cervix is still closed (TMI?), she isn't worried about the amount of amniotic fluid-it just makes taking measurements a little harder, my weight gain is still going great, and she estimates Kaylee's weight at 5.5lbs.
Kaylee is still super active. I don’t know how she finds room in there to do somersaults, but she does. I am getting so big that it is really hard to get comfortable. I can stand for a bit and then have to sit down for awhile. Then that starts to hurt, so I stand again. I am starting to keep Dustin up at night as well. I guess we are getting some training in for when she gets here. I still have one fat foot that grosses everyone out-maybe I can work that into a halloween costume. My hips are killing me and I am eating Tums like candy. :)
Dr. Litherland gave me the go ahead to go to St. Louis tomorrow. I am excited to get out of Springfield one last time before she gets here, but sort of dreading the drive. I hope I don’t drive Dustin and Charlie crazy with my pit stops! I have all the essentials already packed to go though…Gummy Bears, Hot Tamales, Nacho Cheese Bugles, and Reese’s Pieces.
We have the nursery so close to being finished. We have to paint the dresser and get the rocking chair, but that is the last of the furniture. I have the entire next week off, so I plan to finish some of the projects I have started, hang things on the wall of the nursery finally, and maybe get our hospital bags packed eventually. We have the car seat in the car and the diaper bag ready. Now we are just waiting patiently. Only 4 weeks left! We can't wait to meet this amazing little girl that has already changed our lives so much!
