I finally have my birth kit and pool. Picked up a couple things from Walmart that I wasnt going to order. Only thing left I need to get is a mattress pad cover. I always have one just by chance my water breaks in bed. Plus I also sit in my bed right after delivery and even though I sit on those neat little underpads I want to be careful.
The kids are getting more and more excited. I have been telling them from early on that its going to be my birthday then after that the baby will come. Well my birthday is tomorrow so then the only thing left to countdown is the baby.
I know I always get nervous as labor is pending, but this time its almost got me panic stricken just thinking about it. Between working up until my due date and having to do the whole school routine and everything that final week all by myself I am afraid something is going to happen when I am not home. Its difficult enough to drive our new truck but to drive and be having contractions. yikes!
Bennett's last day of school is on the 26th so providing I go past that, at least I dont have to do that part of the routine. that is the most physical part since we have to walk him inside up a ton of stairs. But I have to wait about 45 mins in Malikai and Tilers parking lot to pick them up. I have to get there early enough to find a parking spot that I can pull forward in since the truck is so large I hate backing up especially without backup sensors so I always make sure to pull forward in a spot so I can easily pull right out. I absolutely can not get stuck in the drive thru line. My luck the one day I will get stuck is when I will go into labor.
The girls at work keep teasing me that I will go into labor there and they will just stick me in the family fitting room to deliver. hehe. I already made a point in telling all of them that they better not call 911 or any funny business like that. I don't want that hassle. I know I wont be able to drive home alone, but im sure I could get a ride if needed. Hopefully I wont get scheduled very much my last week to lessen the chances of anything happening there.
On another note, I had my 36wk appt yesterday. I had a 3lb weight gain. Part of it was I had pizza and pop over the weekend and neither one agrees with me at all. Plus I had just had a large lunch and a TON of water right before my appt. Before all of that I was only 1lb up from my last appt. I am so glad I seem to be averaging out. Still have an outrageous ending number. boo.
My BP was 110/60 which is better than what it has been so that is great! I still have the dizzy spells a couple times a week but overall its getting better. Thankfully.
Babes heartbeat was 147 and strong. Still in the same position which includes being head down YEAH!
and I am still measuring just over a week ahead. Not too bad. She thinks (so do I) that im on track to having another larger baby. Thats ok though. I know my body can handle it. just have to stay confident and let my body work its magic when its time.
