Physically...... :( I'm hurting, my sciatic nerve is REALLY REALLY bothering me! sometimes it doesnt hurt as bad but its a lingering pain that never goes away. Things that make it worse are if its the end of the day and I've been going and going all day, and then I go to get up and its SO HARD to walk, included with limping and everything. Things that make it not as bad are trying to walk through it, the more I move the better it feels sometimes even though at the end of all the "walking through it" is when it gets bad, so its just a never ending cycle but its not the worst thing of course, its nothing I can't get through just....bothersome I guess is the right word. My uterus is so high up sometimes I feel like its in my throat! Well its not really of course but its been in a battle with my rib cage and so far the uterus is winning because the rib cage is hurting pretty bad especially at night, but with a few extra pillows at least I can sleep, unless I go to rollover which then brings on the sciatic pain FULL FORCE! but every day we just keep on going, its all part of the deal :) I'll make it through only a few more weeks! These few aches and pains are going to be NOTHING compared to the real deal only, when in labor there is an end and a purpose...and this random pain just seems so pointless and annoying! thats whats bothering me the most about it!
The gentle birth formula has been increased to 3 times a day now and its ok, i'm getting used to it I guess. I just keep in mind that its at least good for me if nothing else, I'm really hoping it works like they say it does and helps with the labor/delivery! We have been really getting busy getting things marked off on our list of things to get for the baby, we just have to order the birth kit from "inhishands" which is the website we'll get it from and we'll be good to go! I would of ordered it last week so it would of been here in time for 36 weeks but the man who runs the website or something like that was out of town for 10 days so the midwives said they thought I could wait. I really dont see myself delivering before 40 weeks anyway, that way if I do it will be a surprise, but for now the end of May is what I have in mind :) plus the closer to rusty's anniversary date (the 27th of May) at his job the better that way he'll get his vacation time and we'll have to jump through less hoops to get him off work for FMLA paternity leave. He'll be taking 4 weeks and I'm SOOOO looking forward to having him home with me to all bond as our new family of 4.
I've also felt myself avoiding people so I dont have to answer questions, lol, I just want to wear a sign that says, yes i'm due any day, yes i'm ready for her to be here, no i dont know how much longer, and yes i'm having her at home. :) but thats just normal 3rd trimester hormones talking because i'm normally not one to avoid people or be rude. I like people and love hanging out with our friends and engaging in conversation normal things like that but when i'm this close all the questions just add to the anxiety for some reason.
I have my 36 week appointment on Tuesday with Kelly and then weekly after that until she gets here, so I'll update again then!
Here is the 36 week picture...the 1st one is with Carrson
