I went to the doctor last week, which started my weekly appointments. That means the beginning of the end is near! I have 4 appointments to go, including the one I have scheduled for tomorrow morning.
When I saw the doctor, I was disappointed to find out there has been no progress thus far. No effacement, no dilation. I realize it is nothing to be concerned about since I do, technically, have about a month to go but I would like to at least feel like something is happening. When I go tomorrow I am hoping for a better update. I have busied myself this week by cleaning carpets, moving furniture, and trying to get things ready for the baby. If old wives are right, then that should help move things along.
The baby's heartbeat was 140 last week and my BP was fine. My weight gain was fine (for the 2 weeks it had been) but my overall weight gain is not something I can brag about. Gaining 26 with my first set a standard that I obviously could not maintain this time. I would love to know where all the pounds are hiding because truthfully I don't think I look any different than I did when I was pregnant with Deviney 2 years ago. Plus, I have had more people tell me in the last few weeks that I am "sooo cute!". I have to believe people don't say that to big, fat pregnant women, right?
Baby 2 seems to be doing just fine, based on the extreme movements I feel all day long. For as uncomfortable as they can sometimes be, I am already sad to think they will be gone in a few short weeks.
