It’s funny how I keep thinking these days are dragging by and then before I know it the week is over! At this rate Blake is going to be here in the blink of an eye. I’m finally just accepted the fact that I’m never going to feel 100% ready and that’s okay. All that matters is that she gets here safely and healthy!
We had our weekly check up a couple of days ago, including a stress test and ultrasound. She was sound asleep or something during her stress test and they had to use this little buzzer noise thing to try and wake her up to make sure she was okay. It took a few times to get her up, which I’m hoping means she’s going to be a heavy sleeper like her Mama 😉 ha! Everything ended up looking great, minus one thing. That darn amniotic fluid just can’t seem to stay up! It’s low again, and has been for two weeks now, sitting at a 5. I drink so much water I might turn into a fish! Ha! So what that means is, stress tests twice a week and an ultra sound once a week on top of our normal check ups! If her fluid is still low at this week’s ultrasound and check up then they will induce me right around 38 weeks, which is in a week and kind of giving me a heart attack. Also at this week’s ultrasound check up they’re going to check her growth to make sure she is growing okay since her fluid is so low.
So that’s the update on the baby front in the whole delivery department, always keeping Mom and Dad on their toes! Stressing me out a little and keeping me busy trying to get tons of work done before she comes since it might be two weeks early now!
Other than those little details though, I feel good! I have a new favorite dress (the one I’m wearing in all of this week’s pictures) that I wear literally everyday because nothing else is comfortable. It’s from Tiffany Rose and I can’t even explain to you how comfy and perfect it is. It’s great for a night out or just a casual look. Like I said, I wear it everyday–literally I think I’ve worn it everyday since I got it. Oops. Comfy clothes is where it’s at these days though, gimme all the comfy clothes and I’ll be the happiest gal around.
Some days I feel a lot more “done” than others, usually after I’ve been on my feet a lot that day. Then there are days that I feel great. If you follow me on Instagram you saw my post about hormones. That’s one thing that has really been out of whack the last few days, way more so than usual. I cry, laugh, get frustrated, and can’t control my emotions 90% of the time. It’s actually super frustrating most times, comical after the fact, but frustrating during because I seriously feel like I have no control over myself. But overall, I’m really thankful to even be pregnant and to be carrying this sweet baby girl and to have made it this far. Don’t worry I’m crying as I write that, I told you 😉
Now my little stats that I always do:
How far along are you?
About to hit 37 weeks, full term–that’s insane.
How’s Blake?
She’s doing good, fluid is low–we already talked about that. She is definitely running out of room, but still somehow finds room to move around as much as possible, I love it! Her movements are my favorite. She still gets the hiccups quite often, I was a little worried about this (new mom syndrome) but my doctor said its actually a good thing, so woo!
Movements?
Lots, she’s a wiggle worm, but they feel more like rolls and then kicks into my ribs. Which speaking of kicks into my ribs, she’s still head down–YAY! Stay that way my sweet girl.
Belly button: Innie or Outie?
It’s about a half innie/half Outie now. I knew it was going to pop out a little one of these days! It was SO stretched!
Cravings?
Well the other day, the sudden craving for a snow cone! We drove to four different places before we found a snow cone shack that way open and let me tell you, it was definitely worth all the driving!
Excited For?
I think this question should be what are you nervous for? Because lately, I feel like it’s all nerves. I’m definitely excited, don’t get me wrong. I can’t wait to be Blake’s mom and hold her, but at the same time it’s absolutely TERRIFYING.
Now let me overload you with some bump pics, because as y’all know I LOVE pictures 😉
