It's been a while since I wrote a state of the pregnancy post, and after a few particularly difficult days, I'm in the mood to complain. So here goes...
I am SO ready for this baby to come out!!!
I think the last post had me feeling better, but with the occasional nausea/stomach issues and some back pain. Thankfully, both of those things have continued to be mild if they show up at all. It seems I finally got rid of the stomach/food nonsense right around my 7 month mark. Which was just in time for the third trimester misery to begin.
I am tired ALL the time.
I am constantly out of breath.
My legs and feet constantly feel as if I've just finished a marathon. (or how I perceive this, seeing as I've never run 1 mile let alone 26.1. Basically I feel as if my legs are made of jelly.)
I am pretty sure I have internal bruising from the kicking. (They say as the baby gets bigger, the movement becomes more rolling and waves and less kicks. Not this little man. His kicks have gotten stronger. And now I get head butts to the ribs. Last night I got one so bad, I cried out and scared Dan half to death. The area is still sore to the touch and any little internal flutter in the area makes me wince in pain.)
Yay, third trimester!
My only comforts are that 1) this is all relatively normal and expected (unlike my earlier issues) and 2) I only have 6 1/2 more weeks to go! Hopefully, a little less. I've now had two conversations with different doctors about the possibility of an early induction (no earlier than 39 weeks) because of Austin's likely size. The second doctor even offered an elective c-section, which I turned down. Worst case, he'll be evicted on 10/25.
So, that's what's been going on down here. I'm getting a little break with Abby being at school two days a week, which is nice. Otherwise, I'm still just plugging along.
61/2 more weeks!
