Last pregnancy update!

I don't really know what to type here that I haven't said in a million other pregnancy update posts. But this is my last one. So that's pretty dang exciting.

I am currently 38 weeks and 1 day pregnant. The most pregnant I have ever been! So that's cool. Sadie had an emergency induction on the day I hit 38 weeks because she had stopped moving and her heart rate was all over the place. This dude is VERY MUCH active. Keeps my mind at ease. And hurts. He feels so big! Sadie was such a tiny baby and she had so much fluid she was basically swimming. This guy feels like he's taking up every inch of my insides. He's very low, and it's ridiculous how often I am going to the bathroom to just have a little tinkle come out. But don't worry, I am still get rib jabs as well.

Sadie's baby obsession has reached new heights, and she seriously freaks out whenever we see a baby in public. She thinks my big belly is funny, and likes to smack it and sometimes even kiss it. She has no idea what's coming for her though.

I have stayed pretty active at the end of the pregnancy. Not working out, haha, but just getting up and out of the house every day. Mostly because I would go crazy and Sadie would destroy my house. We have been on lots of fun outings, and go to a park about 4 times a week. But I have had my fair share of lazy days. It's just so hard to move sometimes, and all my joints hurt. I still get nauseous some days, and heart burn friggin kicks my BUTT!!! 

I went out in public looking like this.

We have absolutely everything ready for this baby. My mom is here now (YAY!!!!!), and she keeps asking what we need to do. We literally have it all done. Everything purchased. Hospital bag ready. His clothes all washed and hung up. Toys for Sadie while we're gone. We just got our double stroller a couple weeks ago. We just need him here now!

I had the adventure (for a week) of drinking red raspberry leaf tea which is supposed to help your uterus get ready for labor. It tasted like death and gave me the runs so I stopped. 

As hard as being pregnant is, I do love my bump. I haven't taken nearly as many pictures as I did with Sadie though. Whoops. I have gained around 25 pounds, which is less than my other pregnancies, but I was bigger to begin with soooooo. 

I basically live at the doctor's office these days. I have once a week non stress tests at the hospital, once a week doctor's visits, and ultrasounds thrown in here and there. Sadie gets to come to my doctor's appointments sometimes. She watches youtube videos while my doctor shoves her hands up me and I try not to cry. Here's the update on my body- it's not giving me any signs of labor. Haha. At my 37 week appointment I was PRAYING for some progress so my doctor would feel comfortable inducing me at 38 weeks. There wasn't any progress. I was a grumpy stress case the whole next week. Nathan gave me a blessing before my 38 week appointment and for the first time, I felt comfortable waiting. I got the number 39 weeks in my head and felt like that was my goal and I didn't want to go past it. My doctor checked me, and I was barely a 1 and still firm, but she said she'd feel comfortable letting me go until my due date... OR inducing me at 39 weeks! I still feel good about that, so hopefully things go well at my next appointment and we are good to induce. I am ready. I know inducing will lower my chances of a vbac, but I feel pretty good about things.

This has been the hardest pregnancy on me physically. I have been sick basically the whole time. My joints and back have hurt more than ever before. I have had lots of migraines and vision problems. My body is tired. My brain is tired. I am sooooo ready for this guy to get here. I already love him so much.

So hurry up and get here!!
