So I went to the doctors and she finally put it together that I am 36 week and not 37 Weeks. I explain in the doctors section of my post. I am feeling it a little more now then before. I think I have officially started the pregnancy waddle, especially if I am tired, sore, or have to pee. I will update picture from the baby shower when I get the pictures!
Problems/ Issues: squished from the inside. This week I have felt more and more like I was being suffocated from the inside. I feel him up higher and feel like I cant breath. It is not all the time just here and there but its like the first time I have really felt that. When it hits I take shorter breaths and feel the urge to rip off my shirt so I can breath better. Haha I have felt a tiny bit crampy this week and some hip/ pelvic pain but not bad. Rib still hurts at least once a day but not as bad as the other weeks. Oh bending over is getting pretty hard along with shaving my legs. Yeah forget painting my toes:( I went to a yoga class the other day and man it was hard when we did a standing forward fold. Bending over like that was hard. I made sure I bent my knee to make it a little easier. I am putting on my sock sideways now and starting to second guessing picking up certain things off the ground. Haha so I have noticed that its really hard to concentrate. I cant think to much about something or else I feel like my brain is going to explode and I give up, haha I am glad I am done with school and that I dont have to think too hard these days.
Doctors: So the doctors went good. She checked to see if he was head down and he is. She answered my questions and changed my due date. I brought it to her attention that the first ultrasound measurements calculated the due date on Oct 3rd. So they changed it to that, instead of going off my last menstral cycle. That way it decreases the chances of being induced. With Kasier, they won't let u go 7 days past ur due date. This way the baby has more time, if he isn't ready to come out. Next week she will check for dilation and such. I have been telling each new doctor I would see and even the nurses that I am pretty sure I am a week later then they were telling me. No one of them really care enough to double check and really look at the first ultrasound meausrements. According to the very first ultrasound and the 20 week ultrasound (where they check all the measurements) I was measureing smaller then they thought. This doctor finally figured it out and said oh yeah it is. She said yeah I will change ur due date. I normally wont really care too much but b/c of the rule about being induced I care. I want this baby to come when HE is ready!
Movements: The baby ( I feel ) has gotten bigger this week and therefore is moving but not as crazy. The movements are slower and more powerful, if that make sense. I feel him very low and high all at the same time. At night I wake up in pain b/c he is lodged up super high and its hurts. I just get up and go the pee, make a little more room for him and he sinks back down:)
Food: I thought I would be more crazy with food while prego but I guess not! Its not that bad, they are somethings that I just dont want to eat and dont. I dont really have cravings that much. I am sad that I havent hated sugar or sweets while being prego, that would have been awesome.
Exercise: Still able to do a crunch or two:) This makes me very happy! I love exercising and I am so grateful I still can and move pretty good. I did a Boot Camp class the other day and the ladies in the class thought I was crazy but really its not that hard and if I get tired I just modify. People dont realize that all you have to do is read your body and how you feel and MODIFY. You dont have to stop and leave the class or not show up b/c its too hard just do what you can and make up the rest:) If what they are doing is too hard for you do something that you can handle. For example, jumping up and down for the most part is just uncomfortable for me so I dont do it. When the class jumps up and down I just go side to side. Its better for decreasing impact on the joints.
Thoughts: Still wearing my wedding ring:) So annoyed though b/c I found a stretch mark or two but not on my belly:( very sad day! Baby shower was last Saturday and it was very nice and fun. We got lots of good stuff and we rearranged the rooms around to get everything set up for the babies arrival. We feel ready now. Got the car seat, stroller, crib and bedding all set up, along with the changing table and his baby clothes washes and put in the dresser. Oh yeah and Buy Buy Baby called today and said my rocking/swivel chair is ready for pick up. It came early. They said it takes anywhere from 6 to 10 weeks to have made. I was nervous that it wasn't going to come in time. Next week would have been the 6 week mark, so I am pretty excited to go pick it up and see how it fits in our room. Still need a baby monitor and a bobby. Norris wants a video monitor so we might get that depending on funds. I dont really care to much if its a video monitor or not as long as it works. Well sleep is hard some nights but not all nights. If I am super tired I sleep great but if not then I am up at least one to three times throughout the night. Thats a lot for me. I always have been a great sleeper and would never really wake up at night and I could sleep in too. I know this is probably preparing my body for what is to come (the baby crying throughout the night).
Hospital Tour: Last week Norris and I toured the hospital and it was great. My really good friend, Shannon's mom is a labor and delivery nurse at the hospital we are going to deliver at. She also does the tours down there so she offered to do a private tour for us:) So awesome! It was a nice quit night and she took her time and we got to ask all our silly questions. It was so nice of her to do that. The labor area of the hospital is very nice and the delivery room was HUGE! I was shocked. I am so grateful for great health insurance and I know the baby and I will be taken great care of. I did freak out a little when she told us there were women delivering right then as we would walking down the hall. All the nurses and doctors seemed very calm and like nothing was going on. It was one of those moments that I realized ok wow this baby really does have to come out of ME and the time is getting closer. I always hear other peoples stories of labor but its almost time for my own story and experience. Really eye opening! I calmed down again until she showed us the c-section area and I freak again. I think its so scary to me b/c you NEVER know whats going to happen. Its so unpredictable and I am a planner so its hard to think about. I know I will be praying a ton while in labor:) Well the tour ended and its was really good to go and see what we are up against.

Super excited about our BOB stroller and Britax carseat!
Here is the baby room so far! Its still a work in progress but now its set up for the little one to live. We just need to make it all cute and decorate:)
