I am sitting at work in extreme pain hoping that writing on my blog will help keep my mind off of it. For the last two days I have had terrible back pain, I think I have a pinched nerve or something because the pain is in the same little spot and it feels like someone is holding a knife to it. I had a massage yesterday which was wonderful but it still didn't help. I took a bath and had my husband rub my back until his hand went numb but nothing seems to help. Sitting in these uncomfortable chairs a work definglity does not help. Thankfully I only have three more working days left and 2 and a half weeks before my dues date.
So, I really have a feeling that this baby is not coming anytime soon. Last week we met with DR. Gallo. He checked me and I was not dialated, not effaced and he said the babys head was down but it was up in Canada. This week Dr. Gallo is in Boca on vacation, lucky him, so we only saw the ultrasound technition. My husband was not able to make it so my mom came along and I am so glad she did. The baby's head is down but still not in the pelvis. We were able to see chubby cheeks and a round face. The baby was sucking on its thumb and the rest of the fingers were resting on its nose. We saw cute fat stubby fingers like mommys and a big belly!!! According to the ulrasound machine the baby is weight in at 7 pounds 11 ounces. I gues this is going to be a eight pound baby. I need to find out Carters return policy. I bought newborn clothes but they only fit up to 8 pounds. I guess I am going to have to return them. The babys heartbeat was 164. My mother in law is obsessed with the heartbeat. She thinks that she can tell the sex by how fast the heartbeat is. I know that is a myth but I humor her anyway. I have gained a totlay of 28 pounds and my blood pressure has been perfect. Except for having to stick a needle in my stomach every day, this pregnancy has been perfect. Last week I went to see Dr. Weintraub the hematologist. He switched me from Lovenox to Heparing. Two needles a day, but now I can go into labor on my own. He also told me that I have to go back on the lovenox 24 hours after delivery for a total of 8 weeks. I am not so happy about that but by then I will have my precious baby in my arms so it won't matter so much.
The nursery is finished and I love how it came out. The wall are a little plain so I need to get a few more decorations, but other than that I love it. I furiture is beautiful, the colors are perfect. I will take picutres this weekend and upload them as soon as I can. We installed the car seat last week and my hospital bag is packed. I am ready, I just wish the baby felt the same way!!!
