Full Term

So today I'm 38 weeks and 2 days. Three weeks ago the doctor said I was 1.5 cm dilated, and today I went in for another appointment, and.... no change. I'm not too surprised though. This happened with both other kids. Today he said he's pretty sure he'll see me back in a week... which is fine, I mean, I'm not anticipating going early... plus, I'll for sure have a December baby like I wanted!

I wanted to write a little about some things I've been going through this pregnancy, a bit different from my others. Well, this was pretty common at this stage with my other two as well, but I'm to the point where I dont sleep all too well at night. Its mostly just being uncomfortable, but I've also had tummy pains... almost like to where the baby feels like its trying to crawl UP and out my neck! It gets up SO high, even to like an inch below my sternum. It hurts!

I've also been having a few random episodes of different kinds. Like a few weeks ago, after I sang worship in Chi Alpha, I sat down in my seat when we were finished, and I got really dizzy, and pretty hot, and a little blurred vision. It was strange because it wasnt UNTIL I sat down that I felt it. I just sat a bared it for a few minutes, then went to drink some water, and was better, but that was a bit strange.

Then last night, another random episode. About an hour after I fell asleep at night, I woke up, sat straight up in bed and Could. NOT. Breathe! I couldnt get breath at all, I was gasping, it was very strange! Jake woke up and asked if I was ok, I just shrugged. He asked what was happening & why, I just shrugged, as I continued to inhale air at all! I finally, slowly caught my breath, and even fell back to sleep rather quickly! But there was yet another Weird random episode of some kind.

I dont remember feeling this miserable with the other two. I feel like with my other ones, I "rocked it" up until the day I delivered. But this time, I'm just getting my butt kicked. There are plenty of times where I feel great, and my energy is up, but I just often feel like doing NOTHING but sitting. Either way, we'll go one or two more weeks, and baby will be here! Thats no time at all! I'm pretty cranky most days, but still very excited! We got the crib up & most of the baby things out... so we're ready to meet our THIRD little angel!
