Week 33 - Impatient & Uncomfortable

I am starting to really get impatient and uncomfortable. This little girl growing inside of me is really starting to bother me with all the pushing and wiggling that she is doing. Don't get me wrong, I love feeling her, it reminds me that she is growing bigger and stronger everyday, but when all she does is jab her elbows in my left side it gets tiring. Yesterday she a wiggling a LOT...so much that it was making me wish that I could hold her instead of carry her...oh well, I know that she will be here soon enough.

Tuesday I had another check up, everything is going perfectly. I found out that in the last 10 weeks I have only gained 3 pounds. Dr. Ulmer-Pinter wasn't worried about it as long as baby is growing. That really amazes me. She was saying that is was probably from me changing my diet because of the gestational diabetes. Then she said that Rachel is growing just right, she is a little on the bigger side of normal but not too big and then she told me what I had been wanting to hear, that baby girl is already head down. (That's what I thought because there are times when I am sitting and I slouch a little and I can feel her butt try to shove itself under my ribs, not too fun.) At the end of the check up Dr. Pinter told me that at my next appointment in 2 weeks she will start checking my cervix to see if I'm dilated at all and after that I will be seeing her every week until baby is born. Ok, that makes me realize how soon she is going to be here. I can't believe it.

Also that day we had the second and last class of the prenatal classes. Josh did end up coming with me. All we did was watch a video about the different types of labor and delivery. Halfway through we had a power out and weren't able to watch the rest of the video so the nurse just told us about it, I think she was more interesting than the video was. Oh well, it was very informative. Next week I have my breastfeeding class which I am looking forward to. I love learning things and I know that this class will be a great help of relieving my fears about feeding my baby girl.

Josh leaves again Sunday to go to Louisiana for a week for work. I hate when he leaves but I know that it's needed. After this house we should be able to catch up in our bills for the baby. That will be a huge relief. Thank you for all your prayers. I know that they were heard and answered.
