Ob appt. today.  Cervix still changing, at 1 cm and my cervix is lower than it was. All progress but dont think it matters unless I’m contracting every 5 minutes or my water breaks.  But if I were going to labor I guess it would make me feel good that my body was doing something. But with a planned c-section dont think it matters much.  I am guessing though that theres a good chance since I was 3 cms at 37 weeks with bo and at my 36 weeks appt w/ him there were none of these changes, that if anything I’ll be going at least a few days before April 7th if my cervix keeps changing and these contractions keep up.
I gained 4 lbs since thursday, guessing it’s the new diet and added insulin, kind of sucks, I was liking not having gained too much weight so far!   BP was great which is super, I’ve never gotten this far into a pregnancy without BP problems so maybe being so active chasing Bo all day is actually helping me stay healthier this time.  Baby boy # 3 gave me a scare though today, I had to be on the nst monitor for about an hour becuase he wasnt moving like he should have been. His heart rate was good but he wasnt as active as they would have liiked. Right around the time I could tell the dr was getting concerned he woke up some, but not as much as he normally does.  So hoping he’s doing ok and that on Thursday he does better on the NST.  I see the endo. tomorrow for my diabetes management.   Things are going much better with the added insulin injection in the morning which is good but it’s going to be expensive to keep having to take this much insulin, I was hoping not to need to get a refill on the insulin since it costs us $45 for a tiny bottle but because I’m taking so much I will probably need more by the end of the week.
well bo is napping so I am going to grab some lunch and hopefully some rest. I feel like I didnt sleep last night, but I know I did. I think I just did too much this weekend and now am paying for it.  So I’ll update again later on this week, at latest after my appt on Thursday.  I know it seems silly but I really hope labor starts or something so they will take the baby sooner, I’m really not feeling good and Dean’s working and cant really take off. at the end of Bo’s pregnancy he stayed home some to help me out but he cant, they even want him working overtime(without pay) so I know it’s hard for him to take time off right now even if he schedules it.   morning sickness is back w/ a vengeance and its worse I think becuase I’m having to eat so much more food due to taking more insulin. it’s really a pain.   just a few more weeks…..I have to keep reminding myself!
When can I come see you and help out?
