These last 2 weeks are probably the closest I have come to feeling like a normal pregnant preson! I have still been worrying but for the most part I have felt pretty good about things and the baby. She has been moving regularly and her heartbeat is always right there when we check it. It feels good to not be so paranoid. I hope this continues for the rest of the pregnancy.
We have been continuing with our NST's every week, they are actually beginning to be more of a nuisance than anything else. We have been seeing a lot of the other doctor in our practice and not the one we love. It seems she is never happy with the baby's NST's and we end up with a biophysical, or coming back the next day to repeat the NST, or even being sent to the hosital that one time. While I want to be as cautious as anyone, it gets to the point where the concern these are causing will do worse for me than if we weren't doing them at all. They were supposed to be for my "piece of mind", but that doesn't seem to be happening. All we are getting each week are very stressful non-stress tests!!
I am starting to notice that I am becoming a little more uncomfortable each day. Jim has commented on my grunting and moaning, even doing the simplest things like closig the car door! It is becoming more difficult to find a comfortbale sleeping postion, my back is more sore, and I think this little one loves to jump up and down on my bladder cause it seems like I feel the need to pee every 5 minutes!!!! I guess this is just all the proff that I am really in the 3rd trimester now!!
We still are undecided on a name. It seems this is the first question everyone asks me. I am actually quite tired of this question! I know we need to decide soon, I have been more picky than Jim. He has made a ton of suggestions but I always seem to find a reason to turn them down. We have decided for sure that her middle name will be Faith. Without Faith, this baby would never have been conceived. We owe this miracle to her bis sister and want to honor her by using her name. Guess, we'll keep reading the baby name book, til a first name pops out at us! |
