Continuing symptoms: Lower back is really starting to really ache. My feet
ache after wearing shoes and walking for extended periods of time. Getting
harder to roll over from side to side.
New symptoms this week: Nothing really new. Feeling bigger
every day and continued swelling and back aches. A lot of movement this week. Pretty sure she turned sometime in the last week to week and half. Kicking has begun in my rubs and no longer on my side.
Sleep: Having a really hard time getting comfortable. My back has
been extra achy and getting to sleep has become hard and I get restless. I try
to just close my eyes and rest as much as possible.

Cravings: Sonic slushies
Grandma gift this week: The boobie pack: nursing pads,
nipple cream, and boobie wipes
Special pregnancy moments: On Thursday I had my
pre-natal appointment (went by myself) and the Dr. said that my belly was
measuring larger than it should from last month’s measurements and it could be
due to too much amniotic fluid, a big baby, or the way I am carrying her if she
is repositioning. If there was too much amniotic fluid then I would have to go
on disability immediately. He told me to get an ultrasound that same day or the
next and go do the blood screening for the Glucose Tolerance Test. Got in for
an ultrasound on Friday and got to see Baby Girl on the big screen again. Daddy
couldn’t get off work because of the short notice so Aunt Heather went with me.
It was the first time she got to see an ultrasound in person. It was special
for her to be there with me. Saw her heart beating strong, 147 bpm. On Saturday
I did the Glucose Tolerance Test (yuck!). Got the results from the GTT and ultrasound
and everything is normal! Normal sized baby, high but in the normal range of
amniotic fluid, normal development, and no gestational diabetes.
