I’m way late…It’s Christmas week…I’ve been with family which means zero regrets…

1. Medical Stuff:

• 37 Week Check. No signs I’m going anytime soon. Once again, we have an active one! This time, the word, “twirling” was used.
• I’ve been doing a lot of liquids lately because my belly just feels like it cannot fit one more thing…sucks because of all of the holiday goodies, but I’d rather be somewhat comfortable than feel like my insides are gonna burst.
• No other appointments.

1. Medical Stuff:

• PT! Lots of rib manipulation work. At this point, we are trying to get me to labor with my ribs as “in” as they can be. My left side just happens to be the stubborn side…
• I had my first baby stress test on Wednesday, along with an ultrasound to check my fluid, and an OB visit at the end. Everything was good! During the baby stress test, the nurse called our kid a “loud, wild child.” At my ultrasound after, the tech said your kid is “very, VERY active” (with wide eyes). That night, my big sister, Kristen, reminded me all about the laws of Karma…
• 4 neighborhood walks. Still truckin along slowly with my sister’s pitbull in my ‘hood ; )

1. Medical Stuff:

• Easy medical week. No appointments. None.
• My ribs are out. I NEED AN OMT appointment stat. Meanwhile, it’s all about the heating pad…
• 4 outside walks…just keep moving, just keep moving, just keep moving…

1. Medical Stuff:

• Dentist appointment. While I am on leave, I will lose so my dental, so I wanted to get in before. No cavities…just need to floss a bit better.
• 8 miles walked in the neighborhood this week.
• 34 week OB appointment! Everything checked out well. In the words of my doc, “You get a bronze medal if you make it to 28 weeks, a silver for 32, and a gold for 34. Now, we just twiddle our thumbs and wait.” EEK.
• Shrink appointment. Needed.

1. Medical Stuff:

• PT. 35 minutes of cardio. I hate every second right now since I am ginormous, but I did it.
• I had an acupuncture appointment scheduled for Monday, but had to cancel. The roads were way too bad. This girl doesn’t do icy roads.
