Friday's Update

(Sorry...I never got to post this on Friday when I started it!)

Today I had my regular bi-weekly OB Appointment. The rain was horrible and I had to park far away from the building b/c there was no parking near the entrance. I got SOAKED! Even though I had an umbrella, my feet were drenched!

Dripping wet and quite chilly (I didn't have a sweater or jacket), I finally got into the building and to the floor my OB is on to find a line up outside of the doctors office. Every pregnant woman in the GTA seemed to have an appointment this AM-lol.

My doctor said the baby's head is still down and will probably remain down until I deliver. He felt around on my tummy and said the baby's bum was on my left side and the feet were on the right side; which would explain ALL the movement I feel on the right side most of the day. The baby has been more active then ever recently!

Last night Dennard laid his head on my tummy and got a 'kick', literally, out of the baby moving. lol He was able to feel all the baby's movement on his cheek which was pretty neat :-)

Alright ladies...are you ready for this....Dennard has 'officially' admitted to being able to FEEL and SEE the baby move!!! Hallelujah!!! lol I never thought I'd see the day....lol

Anyhow, after my appointment, I went back home to change my clothes before heading into work. I was wet and cold and needed a change of clothes badly. I was also feeling extremely tired, so I was anxious to get home and lay down for a few minutes. My 'few minutes' on the couch turned into an hour-lol. I was soooo tired; I could not get up enough energy to get myself up off the couch.

It wasn't until I looked at the clock and noticed that it was 12pm, that I realized 'I have to get up and go to work!!'. I was so tempted to call my boss and tell her I wasn't going to make it in, but I just couldn't bring myself to making the call; being too tired to come in didn't seem like a reasonable reason to miss work! lol

In anycase, the weekend was a busy one for me. I attended a Bridal Shower for my coworker on Saturday!!  She is Egyptian, so the shower was really neat!! The food, music, entertainment, etc.  Little Sweets got his/her first taste of Egyptian food- as did I :-) I have to say, the baby was quite active when the music was on!!! I think he/she is going to love music like mommy and daddy.

I was so exhausted by the time I got home, I made a quick snack and off to bed I went-9pm sharp! lol Some company I was for Dennard!! lol

I find I am starting to get tired earlier in the evenings now. Tiredness starts to kick in around 8:30pm.

Little Sweets has been getting A LOT of hiccups recently. Friday afternoon they lasted a good 20-25mins. My poor child :-( At first the feeling was really neat and exciting, now I just feel bad when I feel them having hiccups as they go on forever!

I am 'Blossoming'!
Today at work (Tuesday) a coworker saw me at the printer and said "Awwh, you're blossoming". I couldn't help but chuckle. I said to her "Is that a nice way of saying I am getting huge?!". LOL We got a laugh out of that.

I have indeed 'bloosomed' over the last week. My tummy is growing in size by the day it seems! I am having a hard time rolling over in the night which is quite funny! lol I feel like a whale trapped on a sandy beach! LOL

I read an article that suggested wearing silk jammies to bed as it would help me in moving around. I have to say, it has helped!  I wake up multiple times a night trying to flip myself over b/c my hip or my leg is achy or pinched. The silk jammies help me to 'slide' over :-)
