Take two Pez and call me in the morning

I talked to the doctor...
he looked at all the pictures the Ultrasound tech sent him, and he agrees.
Everything looks fine!
He said it's just the way the baby is positioned.
And that maybe when she dropped, she is laying on a nerve.
I did have Sciatic Nerve pain before...but it went away.
He thinks maybe it didn't go away,
but rather it moved from the back to the front.
He said take two tylenol, and use a heating pad.
yea...two tylenol...I might as well eat PEZ! LOL
But Allie is doing wonderfully
....and everything seems to be progressing as it should be!
She'll be here before we know it!!!

So what's the pain?!?!?!

So had a bit of a scare today....BUT Everything is FINE! =o)
That stupid pain that I've been having has gotten worse
...I left work half a day.....and I called the doctor and left him a message about the pain.
He had his nurse call me back...she said he wanted me to go for an ultrasound right NOW!
And that normal pelvic pain should be that bad....I was like OH!
ok....So Mike came home and we went....

OMG it was the most uncomfortable table in the world!!!
This wasn't the OB's office, he sent me to a Radiology place.
Flat table (which I can't do these days!)
Finally I asked him for a pillow to put behind my shoulders,
cause I was gonna cry after 30 minutes.....I was on that ultrasound table for over an hour!!
And I couldn't even see anything!!!
I was all gooy.....it was gross...
Anyway, he said everything looks fine.
Which is good! But then WTF is with this shooting pain?!?!?!?!?!?

Things I found out:
(of course this could all vary he said....and that this late in the game these numbers aren't always exact!)
- 5lbs 10 oz
- 35 weeks in gestation
- placenta is fundal (which I believe means on the top of the uturus, which is good!)
- heartbeat 122 (which I also think is good?)
- still head down in blastoff position....she definitly dropped
- Cervix is at 6 (10 is normal, 3 is when your about to be in labor)

But I didn't get any good pictures.....couldn't see much
...it's REAL crowded in there.....*shrug*
sooooo I guess I'll be calling my doctor again today,
see if he got the pictures, and see what he thinks.....

Monsoon Shower

Ok, first things first.
I want to thank everyone for coming to the shower,
for all the wonderful gifts, and for braving the MONSOON that was my shower! LOL
Well, at least it'll be memorable!
Well, it actually makes sence that it rained.
If you know Mike and I well enough, you know that it has rained,
at least slightly, if not poured on every special occation so far in our relationship.
It's good luck!! *smile*

Anyway.....Doctor appointment today.
I've been having this really harsh pain below my stomach.
It's dull....and then sometimes when I stand on my left leg, it's crippling!
I told him about it....and he said it's my pelvic bone opening. ouch!
How wonderfull. He said it's a bit early
.....but it's her dropping into my pelvic bone, and it opening from the pressure.
He said it's a good sign. Use Tylenol, and a heating pad.
He said, the more pain I feel NOW the more my pelvic bone is moving
...the easier labor I'll have later. =\*shrug* ok.....

He hinted that I may go early..... maybe 2 weeks.
He didn't say that I was definitly going to....but he kinda hinted at it.
Somthing about the baby dropping early....and then something about how
I could go 2 weeks early..... Who knows
.....anyway, he's signing me out of work September 1st.
Which is in 2 weeks. I can handle two more weeks. I
've been attempting to do less work while I'm there, so that it's an easier transition.
I just need to clean out my computer a little...... and clean up some stuff on my desk.

But OMG if I DO go two weeks early....
Then I get out of work in 2 weeks and then have a baby in two weeks!
And then move somewhere in the middle of THAT?
*gasp*OMG I NEED TO FINISH PACKING THIS WEEKEND!!!
Next doctor Appointment 2 weeks
- August 29th...

BOO!!

So, I scared the hell out of poor Allie last night. LOL
I was just falling back to sleep after my second round of going to the bathroom,
and it was about 4:00am.
So I'm sleeping, and in my sleep I think I hear a baby crying.
Meanwhile it was Monster (my cat) meowing in the kitchen
....but in my mostly sleeping brain I think it's a baby crying
....and it sounds odd.
So I wake up (in my dream) and I open my bedroom door and run into the kitchen
(I guess Monster was meowing in the kitchen, so that is where I thought the baby was
....in a baby seat on the kitchen counter)
so I RUN in there, to look for the baby and then I wake up
....HEART POUNDING....realizing, it's my stupid cat!
So I take a couple deep breaths to stop my heart from pounding,
and I feel her moving around....then I realize that it feels like light rythmic kicking.
OMG she has hiccups!!! LOL too funny! Mike woke up for a second to blow his nose and I had to tell him the story as well.....
well, anyway the poor kid had hiccups till like 5:30am!!!
Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep......

Can I go home now?

ok, so I'm starting this blog up again......I'm going to use it once the baby is born to share pictures and things with everyone. And if no one looks, then it will be used to just get stuff off my mind....which is also fine.

OK, so I'm T minus 58 days till my due date. And my maternity leave couldn't come quick enough. Sitting at this desk sucks! I want my baby and I want off of this pregnancy rollacoaster right now!!! When I get into my Doctor's office on the 15th, the first thing I'm gonna say to him is I AM NOT WORKING PAST SEPTEMBER 1ST.....I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!!!


I want my body back!!!!
30 weeks.....

Even my 9 week body!!

*rolls eyes*

ok, I'm UNCOMFORTABLE!!!
My hips hurt, my back hurts, my legs hurt.
Nothing fits me...even my maternity pants are getting too tight.
I'm sick of working....I'm tired. And it's DAMN hot out!!!
My stomach is getting scary looking. I feel like I'm going to topple over!
Little Allie is growing in leaps and bounds...and she's running out of room in there.
She likes to stretch alot. She pushes up against my pelvic bone with her hands and against my ribs with her feet....AT THE SAME TIME!
I just want to sleep and I can't.
I have to pee every couple of hours, and I can't get comfortable.
I know I'm going to get less sleep when she gets here
....but I wish I could at least catch up now....but no such luck.
Went for my Glucose Test and all is well.
Next doctor's appointment is the 8/15 I believe.
After that I think I'm going to start every 2 weeks instead of once a month
....I don't even care about how much I gained anymore
....all I wanna know is when he is signing me OUT OF WORK!!! LOL
