Seriously feeling uberly pregnant at this point, and definitely ready for Landon to be here. I was pretty much ready a few weeks ago! So I have been trying to keep myself busy and sane until he arrives. I hung out with my friend Erica who has 3 kids, and her youngest is 6 months. It was really nice to talk to someone about everything I am going through who really understands. Not that I cant talk to my friends (no offense), but they just dont know how it feels... yet! I know they will be grateful to have someone to talk to when they are pregnant as well. Anyway, it was comforting and made me feel normal. We talked about everything and its nice to have someone who is open and whom I can share everything with, and who doesnt gross out... Some things are not blog-appropriate! Symptoms continue to stay the same... I have increased pressure in my lower abdomen and pevlic area, leg cramps, insomnia, frequent peeing, fatigue, sore breasts, and just overall anxiousness about he big day! I go to the doctor tomorrow and he will do fetal monitoring as well as check my cervix to see if I have dialated yet. So far no contractions, no loss of mucus plug and no breakage of my water. I am hoping something has changed and I am hoping even more that he will want to schedule me for next week since I will be 39 weeks by then. Landon is definitely still breeched and I am comfortable with the fact that I will have a C-Section. I've been watching A Baby Story, Baby's First Day and like shows on TLC. Just makes me want him to be here even more. Its nice to see a variety of different pregnancies and labor stories. Some women have natural others have to have c-sections. I feel well informed about both. One woman was trying to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and it wasnt working out. SO, I was thinking I might not even get to experience vaginal birth and real labor pains if I just do cesarean with all of my kids. I guess I am okay with that. I mean, I might not even have a choice and the good thing is that I can at least get pregnant with my wacko uterus.
Well everything has been good... and like Dr. Serrano says, we are just marking time and waiting. Landon is about 6 and a half pounds now, maybe more. I definitely can feel that with his movements! I still feel huge but everyone tells me I am small for being so far along. People who have had kids mostly tell me that, my friends think I am big haha. Which is okay because I think I am big, but normal I guess. I cant wait until all of my friends get pregnant to see how everyone changes and grows. It will be interesting. I am already trying to plan my next child with Bailey so we can be pregnant together. Maybe in 3 years or so. We will see!
In other non-baby-related news, Taylor got a job interview and will go for a second one that entails training this Friday! Yay! I am really hoping that this is a good, fun job for him that will hire him when he graduates. I know he will be successful. So prayer for him and this job opportunity! We are also doing really well in our relationship. Its amazing how much communication helps, so that little cliche phrase "communication is key" really is true. I am thankful to have someone who listens and understands, and even if he doesnt understand 100% he still tries. He massages my feet and helps me off the couch, which is all that I need right now. Just for someone to be there for me. Anyway, I am really happy still :)
So I am not going to post a picture today. I will tomorrow and I will give an update on what the doctor says... Hopefully he will schedule me for next week!!! That is what I am praying for. YAY!!!
Love,
Alyssa, Taylor and Landypants!
