Went to the Dr today and everything looks good for me and Kai. His heartbeat is 150 and his head is down. I go back next week for another checkup and then the week after that he's going to check for dilation and effacement. I have 8 days left of work and then I get to take my vacation days! I'm really excited to have a little time off before BK comes.
The Rangers play their 1st game of the World Series tonight! I think it would be really cool if Kai came on the day the Rangers won the World Series! :) I'm excited to watch the game tonight and really excited that this is getting Allen into watching baseball with me!! Kai has been kicking me a lot....I think it's because he likes watching baseball with us.
I hope he comes soon b/c I really hate waiting. I have dreams of him every night....in the little sleep I am getting. I am only sleeping MAYBE 2 hours at a time....I hear people say that after the baby it's worse, but at least I'll be off work then. By the end of the week, I am totally worn out from lack of sleep. I have to get up to pee every hour or so, I have heartburn, Kai kicks me and I'm really uncomfortable! I can't imagine it getting worse when he is here....BUT then again I have never had a baby, so I could be in for a big surprise!!
I'm trying to walk a lot b/c people say it helps with labor. Walking is so freaking boring though!! It's so weird how this past 9 months has been both the most boring and the most exciting time of my life. I'm definitely the healthiest I've ever been, with not drinking and partying! :) Hopefully by New Year's I'll be able to have a few drinks with Allen!
In hindsight I was so grateful to my body for not letting me sleep much in the last trimester. Sounds crazy, but it got me ready for waking up throughout the night. I know you're getting all kinds of unsolicited advice. . . can I give you one more? Go on a date with your husband! Soak in time with him as much as you can before Kai is born. You'll be glad you did!
ReplyDeleteI love your advice! Please send me all the tips you can :) I am going to suggest date night to Allen right now.....
