Long Weekend
July 6, 2010
My hubby had three days off this past weekend, which meant today was back to reality. Our weekend went pretty well and was eventful at times.
We went and picked up Max on Friday and spent Saturday outside in the pool. The kids loved it, we enjoyed it and it was HOT. Pregnancy and heat don’t mix too well apparently. Or at least I should have known this since I’ve spent two summers pregnant before, just not THIS pregnant.
Sunday, the 4th we spent the day at my parents. I pounded the water and ice chips. Need to get my iron checked as I am definitely craving ice. My Mother has an ice machine that spurts out crushed ice so I was enjoying that versus waiting for the ice to melt a bit before chewing at home. My teeth aren’t in the best condition so I try to not cause too much havoc on them. Tori got to play with sparklers for the first time. It was nice to see her running back and forth and knowing to hand it back to Daddy when it got too low. Abby wanted to touch the ‘sparkle’ so Daddy held them for her. She actually enjoyed running around with her cousin Ainsley more than she did the sparklers.
That night we came home and well, TMI, but while using the restroom I had a very harsh contraction. After that contraction, I discovered that I had bloody show. I had a serious of contractions all night. However none of them were regular or even worth considering a reason to rush to the hospital. Though now we definitely feel we are playing the waiting game. I’ll know the baby will be here within a day or two when I spend an entire day nesting. That was how it was with both of my girls and I’m expecting the same this time as well.
I have my appointment tomorrow with my regular OB/GYN. Hopefully things will go well but I have this eerie feeling that something will not be quite right. Whether it’s my blood pressure, dialation, etc. I just have this feeling that baby will be here before the 23rd rather than wait until that day. We’ll see. I could be very wrong. I always tend to get anxious and then nothing happens. It could just be jitters because of all the action baby is causing in the belly the past few days. I do have a lot of pressure but I’ve had that pressure for weeks now.
And now…for some confessions. I saw this on a message board I read frequently and thought it’d be cute to do.
Four Confessions for this pregnancy
- I have not been consistent with taking my prenatals. I either forget or I can’t swallow them or they make me sick.
- I have at least one cafinated beverage a day. Trucking behind two toddlers and being 9 months pregnant requires cafiene.
- My sex drive is depleated. I have no urge for sex, no desire, versus my previous pregnancies.
- I’m not as excited about ultrasounds or ‘new’ things like I was with my first pregnancy. Perhaps it’s because this is my third time and I’m just ‘oh look baby on tv screen, looks like white noise’.
