Welcome Facebookers! Last week I posted this blog on facebook and have seen a lot of traffic on the blog. So I welcome you! Grab a blanket, popcorn, ice-cream, and a tea becuase you have a lot of reading to do... about 27 weeks worth! Please feel free to leave a comment. I'm sure 15 years or so from now the baby will really enjoy reading your comments.
Last week seems like a month ago. The last couple of days have been really long. No, let me rephrase... the last couple of nights have been really long. The Fourth of July holiday was awesome and super low key but the nights dragged on. I cannot for the life of me sleep thru the night or sleep thru a couple of hours. I probably wake up on the hour every hour for whatever reason. Last night was the worst - i had a dream i went into labor a couple of weeks early. It was so bizarre because I was totally faking the labor part. My body was fine but I just wanted to give birth that I thought I was in labor (in my dreams). It must have to do with the small symptoms I am feeling lately that must be labor related. My inner thighs hurt when I climb into bed, sometimes I feel like i might lose bladder control, odd pain in the abdomen once in a while, the baby kicking for hours. Lately i feel like there is no way this baby is going to stay put in there till the end since she gets so hyper at times.
We bought a bassinet last week andI we are super excited about it. Next on the list is to get the crib all set and buy baby friendly laundry detergent so we can wash everything we have and sort it out. We started the nursery. Here's a little sneak peak of what we're working on. We don't have a clear vision of what we want it to look like in the end, so we're just going with it and trying to see what we like and we don't. This part we do like:

We decided on a pediatrician last week... and guess what her name is ... *drum roll please*... Dr. Patel! We decided to go with her because her practice is less than 5 miles from our house and probably under 10 minute car ride. She lives locally. Her husband practices Internal Medicine, who just happens to be my doctor. Granted last time I went to him was like 2 years ago because I thought I had thyroid issues, but that's besides the point. He's easy on the eyes. Also, he shops at our store, so we figured they support our business, so we'll support their business. Plus I don't know about you but I'm kinda comfortable that they are a Patel. Worst case scenario - we find out we don't like her and we switch. Big whoop.
One of my girlfriends is full term now and now can have a baby- what will Prashanthi have?!?! I'm guessing a boy.
Here's me at 32 weeks - full 8 months!

I love love lovvvvvee your hair in your pregger pics. I will forever envy your hair...and now that my hair is to my neck, the path to the long beautiful perfect loose curls will not show its face until next year. Re: baby sleeping with its butt up... How could you tell?
ReplyDeleteThank yoU! ;0) you too can have the hair... just get on prenatals. i promise it will grow like crazy and be full. hehe. I could tell about the butt being up b/c the doc told me he/she has turned (head down, feet up), so ocassionally i can feel a small bump which i would guess is a knee or foot, but that particular time it was a larger area which made it think it had to be his/her butt. I think once they have turned upside down they dont turn back around. i think.
ReplyDeleteSo.. can you refer these Dr. Patel's to me as well.. so they can refer all their ortho people? Come on.. keep the chain moving along. :)
