| 31 weeks in downtown Breckenridge CO (pre-edited) |
How Far Along: 34 weeks, 3 days exactly
Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained about 28lbs
Maternity Clothes: of course!
Gender: still a girl :) I hope!!! We are so excited to finally start on her nursery next week! And our landlord said we could paint...yay for a pink wall!
Movement: TONS!! I don't think she stopped moving yesterday! Does this girl sleep?
Sleep: So, I guess we are sleeping about the same amount. Some nights are actually great...and then some, not so much. Ryan and I took a 2 night "babymoon" getaway on Thursday and Friday night and I slept amazingly well! We turned the temp down to 63 and the king sized bed seemed to help. :) And then there is this morning...I was up at 4, hungry...and I am still up.
Symptoms: Contractions....YIKES! We had a scare last night when I woke up at 2:15 am with fairly regular contractions. They never formed a pattern, but I would have one about every 3-7 minutes. After trying to walk them off, having a snack, and taking a shower, I realized I better wake Ryan up. We timed them and called the doctor. He said we could go in or I could try to go back to sleep. Apparently at 34 weeks they don't try to stop labor-that was scary. He thought I might be dehydrated (which can induce early contractions)...so i downed lots of liquid, went 15 minutes without a contraction....and went back to sleep, which pretty much worked. I felt pretty crummy all day yesterday...thankfully my parents were here to help with Der and to pack. I didnt do much of anything but sit around and get waited on, which sounds lovely, but with everything we have to do- it made me crazy! I am just so grateful we got through the day without baby Brookie being born- I am not supposed to have a September baby...wait till October please little girl! Other than that excitement...I have just been a lot hungrier.
