Big news! One of my doctors gave us the option to get induced NEXT WEEK! I just have to talk to my other doctor on Wednesday and if he gives the OK then we get to go in on Saturday! I'm so excited! It will be so nice to be prepared and know when I need to go in, granted I don't go into labor before that.. I probably wouldn't choose to get induced if I hadn't already had the experience of going into labor myself. It is fun to not know when it's going to happen but this time around it just seems a lot more convenient, although I wouldn't be mad if I went into labor myself before then! I actually have been having some contractions and feeling a little weird. So let's see if I even make it to Saturday!
Sleep:
Not the best as usual but I know it's going to get a LOT worse.
Best moment this week:
Hearing that we could go in on Saturday and have our baby girl!
Food I'm craving:
Jimmy Johns and lemon cake from Olive Garden.
What's making me nauseous:
I've been getting super stressed lately and it has been making me nauseous.
Symptoms:
I have had a lot of cramping. I literally thought I was going into labor the other night. Then the next morning I had an intense contraction. Also my back has been killing me. You can definitely tell that she has dropped and my stomach is way lower so I think that's why my back has been hurting.
Mood:
Stressed, stressed, stressed. I feel so unprepared sometimes even though I pretty much am. I've been a little cranky lately because of how overwhelmed I am.
What I'm looking forward to:
Having our baby next Saturday! I seriously am so excited. I miss her! It will be so nice to just have her HERE!
New in life:
> Baby girl is just not a mover and it stresses me out! I had to be put on a monitor last week and she's fine.. Emma was the exact same way and I had to be put on a monitor with her as well. I hate it!
> We think we have a name! We've been thinking of this name since we found it was a girl but we were unsure. Then randomly someone asked Emma what "baby sister's" name is and she answered her with our name so now we have to name her that right?
> We've been sick lately which has had me super stressed! I don't want us to be sick when our baby girl comes! So we've all been trying to get better. I've had a cough for about a month and a half so my doctor gave me some antibiotics so its finally starting to go away.
> Not much else.. just been relaxing and trying to get things prepared for this new baby to get here!
It's crazy to think I'll probably only be pregnant for 1 more week. It's kind of sad but I am so ready to be done. This pregnancy has definitely been harder.. but when I start complaining to myself or Trevor I try to remember that there are a lot of people who don't even get to experience this or I think of one of my childhood friends who has HG and is super super sick and has to have IV's. When I think of those situations it kind of puts me in my place and makes me more grateful.
Also on another note.. I'm getting super sad for Emma! I know she will be such an amazing big sister but the thought of having to say goodbye to her when we go to the hospital kills me because when we see her again her life will be completely changed! I know she will handle it well but it still makes me emotional. I'm going to cry my eyes out when I have to say goodbye to her.
I am super nervous to have our baby because of what happened last time. It was so scary! Luckily we are more prepared this time and my doctor said we can hopefully avoid it. (Here's the post about it) Although I am nervous I am so excited. This pregnancy has definitely flown by. It has been so nice and reassuring to look at my pregnancy posts with Emma and compare them with this pregnancy, so I'm glad that I did it again. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father. I could not have done this without him and I can't go through the next couple weeks without him either! It's so reassuring to know he is always there for me! Well.. hopefully my next post will be a birth story! AH! So exciting!
P.S. I forgot to take maternity photos again. wahhh. So this will have to do.
