Another update

My appt went well. Ava wasn't wanting to wake up for awhile, but then we finally got her moving and they wanted her to calm down...it was pretty funny. I'm sure she was thinking, "what do you people want from me?" My BP was 148/87 when they first took it and then 141/89 just before we left. It looks about the same as it has. I have another appt on Thursday. The nurse I had today is the idiot that doesn't know anything. She's also the one that made the huge bruise and knot in my arm when she drew my blood...I just can't stand her and today she spelled like poo, that was gross.

I came home to the water being turned off! Yippee, I so love the construction site across the street! I would love them even more if they would stay on their side of the street and stop interrupting our side. How is a 9mo pregnant woman supposed to survive without water? I asked them how long it would be off and they said it should only be another hour or so. They told me I was welcome to use their port-a-potty if I liked....YUCK!

Why am I awake?

On the one day of the week that I can actually sleep in, I'm wide awake at 5am! My hip hurt too badly to stay in bed so I'm up watching the news, not that it's interesting, it's just there!

My appt from yesterday was postponed until this morning at 8:30. Addam doesn't mind, he gets to sleep 2 extra hours!

I'll update later after I get home from my appt.

Again, Really?

I woke up at 4:17am in a panic because the baby was crying! Only it obviously wasn't the baby! I have NO IDEA what our crazed cats do in the middle of the night. Those of you that have stayed with us know that they are crazy in the wee hours! One of them was outside our bedroom door 'crying,' I'm not a fan of waking up that way! I know I'll be waking up to a crying baby soon, but until then can I please not!

I have a dr. appt this afternoon in Aspen. I will update later about how it went.

Have a great day!

Weekend

My head isn't doing too badly this weekend! I didn't take any darvocet yesterday and now I feel bad about taking it. I know that it doesn't hurt Ava but she was so active yesterday and hasn't been while I take the meds. I just feel bad that they make her so sleepy! I know she'll be ok, but it just makes me sad to know that I'm the one that makes her so inactive!

We only have 9 days until my due date! Hopefully she'll be here soon! I'm ready!

Last night one of the cats was meowing in the hall outside our room and my first thought when I woke up was "the baby's crying!" That made me cry! I guess I'm ready, she'll be here soon!

Appointment Update

I had my appointment today. It was at the Aspen office, I like that office!

I think I saw everyone there, from the nurses to the nurse practicioner to the doctor, they are all ready for me to pop!

Ava looked great on the ultrasound. We looked at all the chambers of her heart and saw it beating away at 154bpm (perfect). We saw her practicing breathing and swallowing, and her little tiny bladder was full! She's measuring about 8lbs, but that is just a rough estimate. She's still enjoying her little haven!

My BP was still high, but not off the charts (150/90), so they drew more blood. I called the nurse a vampire! The doc was on her way to the hospital so she was going to drop off my blood in the lab so I should get the results back this evening.

I have another appt on Monday afternoon. Until then, I sit on the couch and take as few pain meds as possible to tolerate the pain.

Just another Wednesday!

HI, so today is just another day. Hanging out in pain. My head is killing me (normal), my back hurts (normal), my tailbone hurts (normal), my hips hurt (normal), and Ava has wedged herself between my left hip bone and the right side of my rib cage (OUCH)! One would think that being wedged there would take the pressure off my sciatic nerve so I could actually walk and stand without pain, but NO somehow she is big enough to make EVERYTHING hurt. Ok, enough complaining.

I have an appointment at noon tomorrow, my appointments seem to take a long time these days, so I won't be notifying anyone of the details of my appointment at 12:01, please be patient! I will update on here when I get home. Thank you.

Just a reminder!

For those of you planning to come visit us after Ava is born: PLEASE remember that we would like at least the first week as our new little family of 3! Addam has very little time off work and he puts in a lot of hours at the office. He wants time to meet his new daughter and be able to have her complete attention. I want time to figure out a routine and get nursing figured out before we are bombarded by visitors. Yes, we understand you are all very excited to meet little Ava, but please respect our wishes! We might just not answer the door!
