What? Wednesday?
October 1, 200836 weeks, one day
Things have been busy over the last few days, so apologies for the lack of posting. And I only have time for a quick one now….
Doctor’s appointment went well yesterday. I’m on insulin injections morning and night…something I had hoped to avoid, but it is how it is.
We picked a pediatrician. I was thrilled with her demeanor and her perspective.
I’m swollen. Feet, hands, ugh.
There is a distinct possibility that I’ll start working half days. I’m struggling to get through the day and by 2 or so, I’m in physical pain from the swelling in my feet. Most things are wrapped up, so it won’t be a huge issue if that’s how I decide to go.
But the big news that isn’t really news….I’m dialated 1cm and 40% effaced. Which means…well….nothing, except that there is some progress. I haven’t felt crampy/labory in a few days, so I think I may stay here for a while. I’d love to have baby stick around inside for another week or so if we can manage it.
That’s it for now! I’ll have lots more to write next time I feel close to awake.
Since you already know, I won’t feel bad saying this …
My OB never does internals before 38 weeks because telling a woman she’s effaced/dilated at all from 36-38 quadruples the false labor trips to L&D. Kinda sucks, because I’m always so anxious to find something out at 36 weeks, but I’m always made to wait. So young lady, don’t be one of his x4 statistics of thinking some cramping in the next 2 weeks are “it”. Believe me, when it is IT, you’ll know it.
Yay! 36 weeks. Holy crap.
