32 Weeks! Wooo hooo. I feel like every day is a milestone and a chance for this little nugget to grow. What a week it has been. I had two appointments on Tuesday morning which went well. I thought my OB appt was on Thursday so I showed up on Thursday to find out that it had actually been on Wednesday. The office was locked and the lights were off....I cried! Friday I had another appointment at the hospital and despite keeping me for 3 hours, everything looks fine. As far as I know, the protein in my urine is still going up each time, but I dont know Friday's results. The other things that they are tracking to make sure I don't have pre eclampsia (white blood cells, creatinine) are both fine. My sugar is still low which is kinda funny because I feel like I have been eating sugar nonstop.
This week seems to have actually started to get uncomfortable in the pregnancy. Im not sure if it is because I am getting bigger or because I have some sort of cold/allergies going on. I feel like I am walking differently, its harder to breathe, I get so tired doing things. And, then Wednesday night I started to get this allergies/cold. It started with a sore throat and stuffy nose/post nasal drip. Actually, looking back, it may have started last Sunday when I had a sinus headache all day. I am feeling a little bit better today. Still blowing my nose a lot and my cough sounds much like that of a smoker. Speaking of coughing, while I was on the monitor on Friday baby had the hiccups. It sounded like someone was hammering in there and I had no idea what it was. The nurse told me and it was so cute after that. I got a short video on my phone.
So, Friday night I was supposed to go out to drinks (water please!) with a bunch of coworkers. They all went right after work and I assumed I would be there 1 1/2 hours later after my appt. Little did I know it would be more than 3 hours later because they would keep me at the hospital FOREVER. 5 of them waited for me and were still there when I got out of the hospital so I went to meet them. As tired as I was and as much as I wanted to go home, I was so thankful that they had waited for me. So I went until 11ish. I got home and could NOT wait to get to bed....until my next door neighbors were having a party...awesome! I think I fell asleep around 1 maybe. Bad news, I had to get up before 7 to work a 1/2 day yesterday. I was a tired girl. After working yesterday morning I did laundry including the clothes that we have for the baby! Now I have purchased clothes and they are washed....times are changing!
Speaking of times are changing, I packed a couple of things in a hospital bag this morning. I took a few toiletries that I bought; toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, face wipes, and put them in my bag and then put the girl outfit that we picked and the boy outfit that we picked. So, if I did have to go to the hospital (PLEASE make it at least 3 more weeks....but really more like 5 or 6), I will have a couple of things ready. Seems like my Mom is going to buy us our stroller/car seat combo and I am going to buy the pack n play. Then we will have a shower after the baby is born. Its too hard to plan now because we have no idea if I am going to be put on bed rest like tomorrow....I also put away the diapers, clothes (like 6 outfits that we currently have) and other stuff in a tupperware container thing...one of those three drawered ones, this morning!
I think that's all for now. I am going to go to Target this morning to get some groceries and return a maternity outfit that I got and don't like. I also decided that I needed a couple of receiving blankets. I registered for some but I will definitely need some prior to that! I also have to bring my phone to one of those kiosks in the mall today to fix my screen......cell phone screen met the driveway yesterday...they didnt get along so well! I will be back and hopefully still pregnant soon!
