That's all we have left until our due date!! Can you flippin' believe it?! I know we sure can't. Went to the doc this morning. It was pretty depressing. I gained more since my last appt than I have in between appts before. Ugh! I cried... Not gonna lie. I waited 'til I was in the room by myself and wiped up my tears pretty quick, but I did have a slight meltdown. It's just soooo depressing to see that number keep going up and up and up. And to see the number I started with get farther and farther away. I'm hoping this weight gain has been because of fluid, since I've been swelling so much... but I guess we'll see. I'm anxious to see how much I lose right away. Hopefully it won't take me long to get back down to at least where I started so I can continue to get the rest of what I want off. Oh I can't wait to get back on the weight loss train!!!!! But anyway, Doc also said I'm at 2cm and 50% effaced!! So there was at least some change. I know it still may not mean anything, but it was exciting that there was at least some change. :)
Went to work today, it was a pretty easy day. My feet continued to swell all day long. That's getting pretty dang old too!! :p After work, I came home and changed clothes and then Heidi and I went and walked a little over 2 miles. It was great to get out and do something. I started getting several sharp pains in my groin, that I experienced for the first time yesterday as well. It was weird. Way different than the round ligament pain I was feeling several weeks ago. Not sure what that was about, but they lasted about 20 secs and then went away. Happened about 6 or 7 times. I'm sure just part of the "process". :) After our walk, we went and had some icecream. :) haha a little counterproductive, but oh well. It was yummy!! haha Then I went back to the in-laws and hung out for awhile before heading home.
So, I got home about an hour and a half ago, took a nice warm bath to try to get my hips and legs to quit hurting. It worked some. Now I'm just waiting for the husband to get home from the fire meeting. I'm pretty sleepy tonight. Maybe the walk wore me out enough I'll get some good sleep tonight! Let's hope! :)
So many people at work today kept telling me they don't think I'm gonna make it to my due date. Apparently it looks as though I've "really dropped" and she's moved "forward a lot". Haha I think it's a nice way of telling me I look HUGE! I'm getting pretty miserable though. As much as I have really enjoyed this pregnancy, and am sooo sooo thankful to have been able to FINALLY get this experience, I'm getting to the point of being "over it". I'm over being huge and swollen. I'm ready to have "my" body back, and get it into shape!! :) Soon though! I know it'll be here before we know it. :)
Well I suppose, I'm gonna get off here. I might find something to watch for awhile 'til Justin gets home. I definitely think it's gonna be an early night for bed for me though. Although it's already almost 10pm, I suppose that's not too awful early!! :) Hope everyone had a great Monday! I only have 2 more Monday's left of work!!! Who's super stoked about that??? This girl!! :)
Love
