Total Weight Gain: 23 lbs.
Pregnancy Woes this week: Insomnia, and I hate it. Kidney pain has been getting worse. I hope it’s not another kidney stone.
Happy times this week: Christmas!
Belly Button Status: Further out this week. Any minute now it’s going to pop out all the way.
Food Cravings: Nothing particular this week. Although I did look forward to the little meatballs at Christmas Eve all week long.
Dr. Visits: Let’s see. First I saw the Asthma doctor; he put me on heartburn medicine because apparently heartburn causes lung problems…who knew? Not me. Then I saw the Hematologist; my hemoglobin went up by 2 points after the last transfusion. Yay! Now if it can stay up. Finally, saw the OB on Wednesday. Everything was looking good and on track.
Labor Signs: Sunday night I had BH contractions all night. I was afraid something was up, but then they went away Monday. I’ve noticed that I’m waking up with BH contractions several times most nights. Even though they don’t hurt, it’s hard to sleep with them. And it seems like Bella fights against the contractions, she flips out and goes crazy during them. Great, this should make for a fun labor.
Projects I worked on this week: With Christmas I didn’t have time for much this week.
Looking Forward to: Shower in 2 weeks! Taking it easy during the New Years break.
Only 6 weeks until delivery! Holy Crap, that’s less than 50 days.
