I think my last post was at 14 weeks. I'm officially 31 weeks and one day now so I don't think that makes me a very consistent blogger...lol. So let's see if I can catch you up on the last 17 weeks or so.
Who am I kidding? I can barely remember yesterday much less that far in the past these days. Hmm...well around 16 weeks we had a 3D ultrasound done to determine the sex and found out it was a boy. (Which we totally suspected, by the way! :)) My scheduled ultrasound at the doctor wasn't until 20 weeks and we were ridiculously impatient. So at the 20 week appointment it was confirmed that we did indeed have another little man on the way, and they also told me I was a week farther along than we'd thought. Which put me at 21 weeks. (That's why none of my updates on FB are correct...lol)
At 29 weeks I had the glucose test, which I was almost certain I would fail, but I actually passed. The doctor had been concerned that I had developed Gestational Diabetes late in the last pregnancy and that it went undetected so she purposely tested me late this time just to be sure. Passing it was definitely unexpected but I'm glad! I guess this just means that I have large babies!
The last few weeks have been really hard for me, which is very different from my last pregnancy. I've been feeling a lot of discomfort around my incision site and had a couple of days where I felt contractions that were pretty painful. They weren't regular but I definitely felt them, so I told my doc a couple of days later and she decided to go ahead and start seeing me once every two weeks. She says she isn't going to let me go past 39 weeks but she also made the comment that "alot could happen between now and then..."
My family came to visit last week and just left yesterday, and although I didn't feel like I had been overdoing it, my body thought otherwise. I've been exhausted and feeling a LOT of pressure and discomfort the last few days, so I'm glad I have a check-up tomorrow to make sure everything is okay. I just don't remember feeling like this at this point in my last pregnancy. Hopefully me taking it easy the next few days will help.
So I think that's about it! I'm planning to tour the two hospitals I can deliver at this weekend and hopefully decide on what feels like the best option for us. I thought I had decided but the virtual tours have made me question my decision, so hopefully we will figure it out this weekend. :) I'll try to be better at updating the blog for those of you who read it, but it's almost time to have the baby at this point! Lol...maybe my next blog attempt will be more successful! :)
