I know...I know 2 posts in 1 week!! That is a record! I had a Drs appt today, so that is why I am updating. I have had a bit of concern the last several weeks due to Braxton Hicks contractions getting stronger and stronger. I have been keeping track and they really aren't often enough to be alarming, but when they happen they are painful! I have noticed any kind of mild activity brings them on. So, while I am at work, taking the dogs for their evening stroll...etc... I know these are very common, but I guess I just want to be aware of what is going on in there in case I need to be taking it easier so she stays in there until term. She has quite a few more weeks to go...13 to be exact! The Dr. was concerned that I was having so much pain with Braxton Hicks, so she ran tests to make sure I wasn't having pre-term labor (which I highly doubt). The test she did tests for pre term labor for the next 2 weeks. Pretty crazy technology these days. I just don't ever want to have to go on best rest, so realizing that I just need to take it easier is obviously important right now.
I also got my glucose test done....that is where you drink that sugary drink, wait an hour and they test your blood glucose. It was a busy day at the Drs! I then rushed home to wait 4 hours for my rocker chair I ordered for her room! Of course they came at the very end of the 4 hour wait!
It is just so strange as the time creeps slowly for her arrival. Everything in our life is just all about her right now and she isn't even here! Things just fall into perspective of how important it is to take time for yourself and RELAX!
So, I will keep you all posted of the test results, but so far so good today. Although, I have literally been on the couch ALL DAY, so feeling no pain or contractions at all.
