Grateful Friday

Grateful Friday…

Today I am grateful that I only have to work a half a day.
I am so tired right now I could put my head down on my desk and take a 3 hr nap…
The last few days I have been coming in to work 30 mins to an hour early so that I can get things done but that is starting to take a toll not to mention getting up 3 times a night to use the potty…all makes for one really tired mommy-to-be.
In other news, my due date has been moved to September 30! What 20 days from today…let the countdown begin…Jelly is still really active and especially adamant in the AM if I delay my breakfast time.
At my doctor’s visit today the doctor, stated that I was 50% effaced so I am thinning out quickly because last week I was a closed shop no signs of anything happening and this week…we are on our way…still not anywhere as close as having him tomorrow but still. And with all that my little guy is still not dropped into my pelvis…I am still carrying him fairly high but he is on his way down and that in of itself is great news and a blessing…so I am also grateful for a baby that does what natures tells him…
This weekend I will pack my hospital bag (that’s more of a mental pep-talk for myself). Hubby the good guy he is washed our little ones clothes yesterday and I have folded them and they are ready to be packed and put away…today we will wash the cloth diapers of which we have an abundance…and continue to prepare the space we have for the baby… My little guy is on his way and though I am not completely ready…I am glad that soon he will be on the outside…

Doctor's Appt

Today is another Doctor's appointment...

There are only 4 weeks to go until I reach 40 weeks...wow...I am about to be a mommy...it blows my mind every time I think about it.

Today I meet the new doctor that just joined my OB practice...I love my other two doctors even if neither of them is the GYN I got accustomed to...they have gotten to know me in the last few months...what I am not sure about is this new doctor...I mean this late in the process I am not really fond of the idea of someone new...Not that I don't think she will be good...I am sure she will be but to have to incorporate another doc is a little nerve wrecking at this point...That's why I agreed to meet her on her first day in the office. A little crazy I know but I want to see how she is under pressure of meeting new clients and getting accommodated to a new place...so we shall see.

In other good news...it turns out my practice no longer takes turns being on-call with another OB/GYN practice on weekends...so it means that when I do go into labor I will definitely have one of my doctors there ...preferably one of the one's I have been meeting since the beginning of this journey but just knowing it will be one of the 3 makes me feel better...

Update on the new doctor after the appointment...fingers crossed she is amazing.

What was I thinking!?

Tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment with one of my new doctors.
Ok...so that's completely normal because I mean I have one of these a month.
However, usually I go to my appointments around lunch or in the morning.
My appointment tomorrow is in the evening!
Why is that a problem?
Well for the mere fact that in the morning when I wake up I look like I ate a honeydew - no problem still pretty small but 4pm I look like I ate a watermelon whether I ate a big lunch or not.
By 6pm my belly is huge...sigh...undoubtly the scale will be up and it will have nothing to do with actual weight gain as much as it will depend on what I have eaten for lunch.

Hopefully, the new doctor will have a bit of mercy on me.
