Sorry I've been SO behind on my posts, so I've got a couple weeks to explain. Although I really don't remember much, but I'll do my best to remember.
So we left off where I was going to have an ultrasound done because I was measuring smaller than normal, but turns out everything is looking good and Angelo at that point was over 6lbs and I was in my 35th week heading towards the 36th week. So we have no idea why my measurments aren't matching up, but I'm glad that everything is completely normal.
What I really hated is that during the ultrasound I had to lay flat on my back the entire time! And after awhile she asked how I was doing and I was good; then a few seconds after I just started getting dizzy and then felt cold and hot everywhere and then my feet got tingly and I was trying to hold still but at that point I started fidgeting more since I was so uncomfortable and felt like I would pass out as my vision was getting blurry. I told her how I felt and she told me she was almost done...it felt like FOREVER. But once she was done I rolled to my side for a bit to recollect myself. Lol. I wanted to finish that ultrasound ASAP! And it's sad cause at the end when I felt horrible is when she explained what everything was and when I finally got to see the screen. But at least we got a profile view of Angelo to take home. So I wasn't really upset or disappointed.
The first time I had an ultrasound I just expected a lot more pictures, but this time I guess I didn't expect that. But I got the profile view I've wanted so it was all good.
The next day I had an appointment with my home visiting nurse, and she had her supervisor with her at this appointment so it was interesting I guess. We got into talking a lot about vaccines even though our focus was for talking about breastfeeding, and watched a couple videos on that. But vaccines really kind of took over our conversation. So we talked about a lot of things that day. Anthony and I are still unsure about vaccines since we both really just don't know enough about them. It's hard to make a decision.
Later in the week on Friday we went to Long Island and stayed a few days. Anthony worked for the board of election and we left the night after he worked. Not too much baby related things went on while we were there, so I won't explain everything we did.
Day after we got back, I had my nurse appointment again. She gave us information on vaccines, and also a list for pedeatricans (I think I spelled that wrong). So I can get a doctor for the baby and he'll have one to go to after he is born.
That same day, later in the evening I had a sore throat just hit me and I felt pretty bad along with all the extra mucus I've been having to blow out of my nose. I also had been extremely tired and basically did nothing for two or three days because I just felt crappy. But the day after those two or three days I went to the bathroom after waking up and felt something trickle down my leg.....
Now unfortunately my water didn't break so it was something else. But for sure was weird cause that's never happened before.
I had been texting my midwife trying to figure out what was up and after telling her everything new that had seemed to happen, she concluded that Angelo is now engaged. And I could tell too cause my stomach looked so much lower that night! I couldn't believe it! But I'm glad that things seem to be progressing.
Today the birth kit came so I'm glad it did! I feel more prepared now. And tomorrow I have my midwife appointment. I honestly keep thinking I'm just gonna go into labor right after our appointment, but then again I kinda doubt it. But it would be pretty hilarious at the same time.
And in other news I FINALLY finished writing most of my thank you notes from the baby shower! So yay for being productive. All I gotta do now is keep the house clean and stay prepared for baby Angelo. (:
By the way I am actually 37 weeks and 4 days today.
