I didn't sleep very well last night- physically uncomfortable, but I also kept worrying about whether Leah was moving or not (she's been a bit quieter lately- poor little bug is running out of room!), so this morning when I *finally* decided to get up to have some sugar- uhh, breakfast- to get her moving, I got some pretty intense back pain the * ( Read more... )

I'm 39w6d today.  Tomorrow is my due date!  For a few days there, it looked like Leah might come early, but today- nada, groan.  Perhaps she'll come tomorrow- on her due date?!  I was born on my due date, so here's hoping!

Anywho, last night was nice.  Patrick and Ashley AGAIN surprised me with lunch (yummy! spicy chicken w/ rice and potatoes!  I ( Read more... )

39w4d today.  Still pregnant.

I feel like it's going to happen *soon* but besides the mucus plug/bloody show situation and the fact that I'm 2 cm dilated (as of Tuesday afternoon), not much else seems to be going on.

I was looking around my room today and noticed a lot of things that I'd like to do before the baby comes- the wires hanging behind ( Read more... )

Still no contractions- or, I should say, very infrequent BH contractions- some mildly painful, others just uncomfortable.  BUT, last night, after watching American Idol and eating some ice cream *yum* I lost what I think was probably *most* of my mucus plug!  It was slightly bloody- all the better!  Sorry if that's too much info.  I know that this ( Read more... )

Had my appointment with Dr. Melchior today.

First exciting news of the day- I've lost one pound since last week (believe me, I can afford to lose a few more than one!)  My blood pressure was "normal" which is awesome, Leah's heart rate was good, she's a good-sized baby, and all that good stuff.  Also, she's sitting low in my pelvis.  The doctor ( Read more... )

So I'm in my 40th week of pregnancy- due on Sunday.  The time has just floooown by.  I have my first cervical check at my doctor's appointment tomorrow, so I'll finally know what (if anything!) my cervix has been up to!  Hopefully there's *some* progress... if only, so there'll be less to thin/dilate once things *really* start going.  I'm keeping ( Read more... )

So the good news about being up at ungodly hours is that boredom generally leads to things getting done (especially since it was MUCH too early to plop myself down, in front of the television!)  I am happy to announce that I *finally* finished all the required documents for my maternity leave application (mind you, it took 4+ hours to do!)  About ( Read more... )

It's 5AM.  Marcin's alarm just went off and he'll be up for work shortly.  I, on the other hand, have been up since 1:30!  I got up because I was having some mildly uncomfortable braxton hicks contractions, then I went pee, ate a piece of bread and drank some water... turned the light off... could not sleep.  Turned the light back on and read for ( Read more... )

I had an appointment at Dr. Melchior's yesterday.  I'm 38w2d today (in my 39th week!)  Baby is doing well- apparently she is "tall" (like her daddy!)  That's what Dr. M said anywho when I asked if she HAS dropped, or not.  It's hard for me to tell because I've always carried pretty low and the pelvic pressure I was feeling a few weeks ago has ( Read more... )
