Gosh, been so busy lately. Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and today is my oldest daugher’s birthday. On top of that, we started moving some of our belongings, and I secured a storage space today so that we can start moving all the boxes that will stay in storage while we look for our new house.
I did have a check up this week. Everything looks fine. Baby is still high, my cervix is still long, and it’s only about 1cm dilated which is fine with me. We have a lot to do (mainly the move) before my due date.
At the same time, however, I woke up today with more back pain than I’ve had in a while. My back has been doing pretty good, but I think it’s been because I’ve really been taking it easy. These past few days I’ve done a little to prep for the move (really not much at all) and my back is protesting. So with all of that pain, I’m now thinking that I wouldn’t mind baby coming before the Nov. 7th date I’ve been focusing on. It’s not that I really want it to change, it’s just that now, I’m completely fine if baby actually does surprise us a bit early.
In other news, we did a belly cast. I have pictures that I will post later. I’ve never done one before. It was more messy and took a bit more work than we thought, but it was also a LOT of fun and we’re glad we did it.
So my “symptoms” today are back pain, punches to the cervix (not nice at all), some pressure on my pubic bone, swelling in my feet, and change in where I feel hiccups. Before this I ALWAYS felt hiccups quite low - right above my left leg. Today, I felt them centered, but still low. I wonder if that “means” anything. LOL
Like I said, there has been a lot going on. I will post again later with another update.
