I can not believe I have 7 weeks and 2 days to go until my due date. It seems like yesterday we were taking the test and I still had a flat stomach! The time has definitely flown by. As I feel her squirm and and kick all around in my belly, I am constantly reminded that she is in there and each passing day is a day closer to meeting her. It is Christmas and I have two weeks off, which I will take full advantage of as far as getting things ready. The nursery is almost finished, the car seat and stroller are assembled, and blankets are washed. I will be washing the rest of her things, setting up the pack n play, and getting bags packed over the next few weeks. It may sound like I'm doing things a little early, but I've had too many friends go into labor early and not be ready. When things go down, I want to be able to grab my bags and go. Not that I'm anticipating an early delivery, but after my dr appt. last week, there's a possibility...
Stepping on the scale is always fun, but this time it was extra fun because I lost a pound in four weeks! How does that happen? Pregnant and lost weight? So, I was feeling pretty good before seeing the Dr. First, he checked the heartbeat which was strong. Then, he measured my belly....a few times. He looked at me and said rather bluntly....you're measuring big. I was 31w5d and my belly was measuring 34 weeks. How can this be??? I lost a pound. So, he told me to cut back on sugar and carbs and scheduled an ultrasound for Jan 4. Clearly, I was upset all the way home, but after doing some research and talking to my family, I was reassured that this is normal. On the bright side, we get another ultrasound and a peek at Charlee....hopefully we will see her better than last time when she had her hands over her face. I'm hoping that she measures right on track and everything is fine. If she does measure big, I'm not sure what that means for due date. We will have to wait and see. But cut back on sugar at Christmas??? Is this man crazy....who has that kind of will power?
