Pregnancy Journal :: Week 36
7/15/10 :: day 252
Yesterday I went to the doc’s for my 1st weekly exam, and didn’t leave as excited as I entered. Even though I am not technically “full-term” I was hoping for some good news in the cervix area. But alas….I am still carrying this little bean high and am zero centimeters dilated. I guess I should be happy that I haven’t had any problems during my pregnancy, and that my baby is happy as a clam living inside of me, but I just really want to meet him. These last few weeks, because I can almost reach out and taste my due date, have been unbearable. And the next 3.5 I imagine will be worse. I think another part of me has mentally checked out of work already, and it’s torture having to sit in a cubicle all day when there are soooo many other things I need to be doing in preparation of Mr. Bean.
Last night and this morning haven’t been any better. I awoke at 2:30am having to pee and couldn’t fall back asleep till 5:30am. My alarm goes off at 5:50am. JOY!

I’ve been sleeping better these days. Well, about as well as you can sleep 9 months pregnant.
I am being blessed with some nasty gas pain or contractions this morning. I am thinking it’s a little of both. Oh joy!
(2:19pm) I wouldn’t call my BH intense, but I would say that they are quite uncomfortable. I make certain to drink plenty of water. And thank goodness for that it has helped keep me regular. I do not even want to think about being pregnant & backed up…if you catch my drift. When the BH contractions come on I do my best to get up and take a stroll around the parking lot or walk to a co-worker’s desk, but that doesn’t always do away with them. WAIT!!! I just remembered only BH contractions go away with walking and water. Am I in early labor???? Oh geez! I guess I will find out on Wednesday. I’m not even going to begin to get excited about that though, because I’m sure he will tell me that nothing has changed and we are still on track for August 12th. BOO!

(1:03pm) My stomach has the hiccups so hard core right now I kind of feel like I have the hiccups too. Maybe he caught the hiccups I had at lunch?!?
