A little consistency please....

Ok, so I had yet another doctor's appointment today. I was very anxious to see if there was any change from last week. Well, after a week of waiting to see if anything happened, I found out that things are exactly the same.....awesome. Well, not exactly the same.....I lost weight, my blood pressure is lower (normal for me) and the baby gained 3 centimeters of belly space! However, keep in mind that for some reason last week I was swollen and retaining lots of water, I felt heavier than usual, my fingers were tingly and the baby was positioned completely on the right (normal for him, but it causes him to measure small....34 cm last week).

I asked the doctor if he still thought that I wouldn't make it until my August 26th due date. I obviously know that there are no guarantees, but today he told me he thought I'd make it or even go over since it is my first baby. Again, awesome. Then why in the world did he have to open his big mouth 2 weeks ago and tell me the kid would come early?!? All I'm asking for is a little consistency, please! And then the fact that it was confirmed by a different doctor next week didn't help my mind set at all. Prior to 2 weeks ago I was going to be happy if he decided to come before September, but because of those comments I've been anxious for a week already just waiting around for something to happen!

At this point I am thankful that his little heartbeat still sounds so good and he is obviously happy in his current home. I'm not too uncomfortable and thank God for the cooler weather we've had here for the last week. I don't think we've had the A/C on in 2 weeks or more! My sleeping has been a little bit rough, but no worse than the past few months. I do think I'm starting to walk a little weird, but after this past Saturday evening/Sunday I'm thankful to be able to walk at all. Something happened (he obviously shifted) and hung out right on top of a nerve to my left leg. I couldn't put any weight on my left leg, so I just stayed laying down for bout 18-20 hours only getting up for necessities...and then I used the walls to help me walk. Thank goodness it got better!!! I just hope it doesn't return! Oh, and of course I'm thankful for the Olympics! What an absolutely wonderful distraction! I really hope Connor decides to be born while they are still going on just because it would be a fun thing to remember about his birth, but he'll have to be 2 days early to make it before the closing ceremonies.

I will add a new picture to the right side tomorrow. I am getting my hair done and am very excited. I don't know if I'm going to get it cut or just highlighted. Once again I am trying out a new person....oh the joys of moving. Regardless, I am looking forward to a little pampering....I just love it when people mess with my hair.

On that note, I think I am going to start working on a "favorite things" post. One of the things I've realized about myself more and more is that I really am pretty easy to please. Many of the items are inconsequential and cheap and perhaps they will make you happy too....it really is all about the little things. Check back for progress.
